Had a reservation and had to wait 45 minutes for a table. The host staff was not honest on the actual expected wait time. When we were sat the table was soaking wet- more than a normal just cleaned wet/damp. Food was sub par even for a chain. The server was attentive.

Coastal Flats was delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was inviting. Pictured: Pineapple juice, Deviled eggs with bacon and pecans and Beef ribs with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. Did I say delicious ? The food was so delicious !

The way I’m treated here by the new staff is insulting, disrespectful, and well weird. I only come to sit outside because I work from home doing very confidential and sensitive work sometimes with the VA and others and so I work inside in private. I go out on Friday sometime Saturdays to have a drink be around people and to be outside and that’s where I started my relationship with coastal Flats. It’s near my house right across the street and I don’t go anywhere all week long. I don’t spend any money. I just work in the house and on Friday I try to get out and be around people. Well you have new staff at coastal Flats in Fairfax corner and the way that they treat me is not just disrespectful. It’s absurd. I’m outside, asked for the same drink I always order, and the Philippines and Spanish speaking staff sent 3 people to tell me why I can’t have a Blue Moon served outside. Don’t you think it would have been better for one of the 3 to bring me a Blue Moon outside? My conclusion, they don’t want my business. I will limit ever going to any of your Restaurants! It was NOT easy being the only Black, a female alone, but Anna and her friends were supportive without care taking. I’m so disappointed in Coast Flats and American Restaurants which is family owned? Now I have to research or pay for research to see if this is a racial issues.

Today I am visiting the Fairfax area and was looking for a place for dinner. A quick Google search and Coastal Flats popped up. Food pics looked good, so off I went.
Upon walking in I was greeted by a young lady at the hostess station, asked if I could eat at the bar and she said absolutely! This is where the magic happened, the bartender promptly greeted me, asked me my name, then he introduced himself as Murphy and shook my hand! I was actually very pleasantly surprised by that. Very nice Murphy!
Getting to the food.
I was in a toss up over eating fish and chips or getting the lobster salad. He said the salad was fantastic, so I went for it.
The salad was excellent! Very fresh, visually appealing. I dug in and enjoyed every bite of it.
The deviled egg on the side put it over the top!
Definitely would recommend 100 percent. I'm sure the locals are already used to this place, but for a person on business travel, the hospitality, food and atmosphere was top notch. Coastal Flats will definitely be on my list of places to visit when I'm the Fairfax area.
Thank you guys for a great experience, see you on the next trip!

I’ve eaten at Costal Flats often and the food is consistently excellent. That’s what I love most about the GARs — you always get the high quality that you pay for. Tonight I had the warm goat cheese salad with shrimp and the taste was perfect. The shrimp was so good.
I was out with my sisters and we had a great waiter. Unfortunately one of my sisters and was extremely rude and condescending to the waiter who got something wrong with one of our dishes (which was for a child). The waiter worked to fix the mistake and everything was fine. I forgot our waiter’s name, but I truly hope my sister did not ruin her night, especially since I could see they were so busy. I left her a good tip in hopes that she would know her thoughtful service was appreciated.
