    The food is out of this world ! Every single penny spent was worth it and then some! Apps, salad and main course all were beyond any expectations I had! Great date night spot and family restaurant. Can’t wait to return ! Jimmy

    Everything was delicious but it was too loud to carry on any kind of conversation. They were very understanding and said they’d been working hard to alleviate this. Solution, eat outside and you’ll have a fabulous meal.

    Overall, the food and experience is very good. Service was very good and the food was excellent. The room is small and the dining area was cramped. The table size was small, which forced us to shuffle glasses and dishes to accommodate. If more than one dish came out at once, it would be very cramped on the table to accommodate the serving dish, water glasses, wine glasses, sharing dishes and cutlery. Proximity between tables was too tight and the seating wasn’t relaxing or comfortable. Lastly, they add a 5% fee for kitchen appreciation (not sure what that means) so you’ll just adjust tip down to compensate. Had a good experience, but unlike to go back based on the seating and table sizing.

    Koast is always a wonderful dining experience. As a vegan diner with mostly non-vegan friends, it can be challenging to find a restaurant that suits a variety of dietary requirements. Koast has a vegan/vegetarian menu with MULTIPLE vegan-friendly dishes to choose from that are just as creative and tasty as their non-vegan counterparts. A great deal of thought and care has gone into this specialized menu and it makes such a difference to diners with these accommodations. The staff are all incredibly attentive, warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is intimate yet casual, creating a relaxed and inviting environment that begs you to return.
