    Tried One Coastal for the first time, last evening. We will go back next time we are in the area. The food was outstanding. I enjoyed seeing 3-time Michelin nominated chef Kern working away in the open kitchen. He had a smile on his face nearly the whole time. He clearly enjoys what he does. The service was excellent - prompt, very friendly, and knowlegeable of the menu items. The restaurant is pretty small. I'd estimate that, with seats at the bar area included, it prob ably seats 50 or so. Go! Enjoy!

    Amazing. It's not often that a restaurant lives up to the hype. One Coastal did.

    We had an excellent meal with friends. The steak tartare was a highlight, but the pastry chef’s olive oil chocolate cake was our favorite. Ryan also made amazing cocktails. Everything from the service to the food was top notch.
