    I’d give this place a solid 4.5 overall. Our group of five shared three appetizers and four entrées. The appetizers—deviled eggs, crab fritters, and sliders—were outstanding, easily 5/5. For the entrées, I’d rate them 4/5; we tried the short-smoked salmon, trout, and shrimp pasta, among others. Highly recommend for a great brunch experience. Drinks are also 4/5. Plus, the mall parking right next to the restaurant makes it an ideal spot to enjoy a meal and do some shopping.

    Coastal Flats is a wonderful restaurant with a welcoming ambiance and outstanding service. The food exceeded our expectations—we started with several recommended appetizers, including the blue crab fritters, baby crab cake sliders, and deviled eggs. Every dish was delicious, with the blue crab fritters being the clear standout. For the main course, we ordered the shrimp pasta, crab cake served with fries and coleslaw, smoked salmon fillet, and trout. The crab cake was exceptional—fresh, soft, and perfectly textured. Despite the restaurant being busy, the service was prompt and attentive. The location is ideal, situated at ground level in Tysons Corner Center, making it easy to access. We made a reservation so there was no wait time. Reservations would be recommended but not absolutely necessary since you can spend time in mall till your wait time. Prices are reasonable for the quality offered, and we would definitely return—especially for the amazing crab cakes.

    My dad and I came here both last year and this year to do lunch before our annual Christmas shopping day, and both visits were fabulous! We split the imperial Crab dip, he had the salmon salad, and I had the pecan crusted trout. DELICIOUS, all the way around. Honestly, the pecan crusted trout is unbelievable, probably one of my favorite seafood dishes I've ordered at a restaurant. Great service, too. Will definitely be returning!

    The food and drinks here were amazing! They offer an unlimited bread basket that you pay $1 for and that dollar goes to charity, which is really nice. The the rolls were delicious and you got to feel good about it! I had a Caesar salad which was really yummy (I didn’t love the croutons- I prefer ones with a slight give and more seasoning) and a side of fries which was perfect. Prices were reasonable and I left feeling really content. The servers were super sweet, and friendly but not always the most attentive. I also had a virgin mango mojito which was out of this world! I wanted to get the bread pudding- it looked really nice, but I had to get going. I’d definitely come back though!

    I've been celebrating my birthday at Coastal Flats' cocktail area for several years with groups of 20+ guests, and we've always had exceptional experiences with attentive, accommodating service. This year felt different in terms of the team's approach. While I understand that large parties require extra coordination, previous years showed me that your staff is absolutely capable of handling groups our size with enthusiasm and care. It was not busy today. It was us and a few customers at the bar with 3 bartenders. The food, as always, was delicious and exactly why we keep coming back. I believe what made this year stand out was the team's willingness to go the extra mile. In past years, the staff proactively helped manage our group, kept tables clear, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. This time, there seemed to be some hesitation around providing that same level of service, which was noticeable given our history with your restaurant. I'm sharing this feedback because I genuinely care about Coastal Flats and want to continue celebrating special occasions there. I know your team has the capability to deliver outstanding service for large groups—I've experienced it firsthand many times before! I'm optimistic that future visits will reflect the warm, proactive hospitality that made us loyal customers in the first place. Looking forward to many more celebrations with you!
