    I ate at Coastal Flats about a week ago but I'm still thinking over this experience! Big shoutout to my server Marielle, her warm personality and help with the menu really made me and my family's experience amazing. She recommended the Ocean City salad for me and for my husband, the rockfish. Both were fantastic and just what we wanted. Definitely the kind of service I remember and come back for! Thanks Marielle and Coastal Flats :)

    We used to come here all the time and it was great however recently the restaurant, the food, and the service has gone down the drain. Literally and figuratively. They sat us and then told us that their bathrooms were out of order and if we needed a restroom we had to go to a restaurant across the street. I was shocked they could still sit and serve folks with no bathroom. We were hungry, it was a Saturday and we decided to make the best of it. Gone off their menu is one of our favorites, the shrimp and grits. Replaced with a pasta dish. Disappointing. Furthermore, refills were non existent and a drink I had to order twice finally arrived just in time to receive our check. The manager was nice enough to comp the beverage but still damage was done. One of the worst dining out experiences I have ever encountered. It will be a long time, if ever, before we return.

    What a cool restaurant! The atmosphere is comfortable and luxurious and the staff do a great job. I definitely recommend trying their deviled eggs and bread appetizers. The one thing I’d recommend to the restaurant is to add more sweet brunch-type food and cocktails. That being said, they made me a solid Bloody Mary and my girl a good Mimosa off the menu.
