The atmosphere was really nice, casual, and down an alley. There is a parking garage located next to it. It was convenient to park and walk to the restaurant. You could see the chef's grilling the seafood in front of you and there were plenty of seafood options on the menu. There were also a lot of cocktails and beer to pick from,and they were reasonably priced for being downtown. The wait staff were very friendly and helpful! The Buffalo shrimp tacos were good! The seared rare Tuna was really good but the rice was salty and overcooked. Also they were able to accommodate a large party.

Our cuisine was FANTASTIC!! We had a spontaneous dinner out with our friends down the street and it couldn't have been better. We also had Fried Oyster Soup and it's blew us away it was so delicious. 10/10 recommend that one! Everything was cooked to perfection and the ambience was what you'd expect in a small back door Charleston restaurant. The service was fine! No complaints about that at all! Everything arrived in time and all drinks were continually being filled!

My wife and I came here for Christmas Eve dinner on our last night in Charleston. Compared to other places we visited in the area, this was near the top of our list of places to eat at. It's in a fun alley area with other restaurants and once you go in, it appears quite unassuming. Our server was very good and checked up on us frequently even though she was helping with a big party seated across from us. Let's get to the food.. we ordered a dozen oysters, which were very good. I rarely put anything on my raw oysters so I can't comment on how good the mignonette or other sauce were. My wife had the Shrimp & Chicken fettucine, which she very much enjoyed. I had the seafood jambalaya, which was excellent. I normally receive more rice than meat but not here. The bay scallops were chopped small and felt quite plentiful, which were great to eat. I really enjoyed the mussels as they were meatier than what I normally receive at other restaurants. We couldn't imagine having dessert as we were stuffed but definitely happy we had a chance to eat here.

Awesome service! Our waitress was very helpful in answering questions about the menu and providing recommendations. The Sriracha Aioli that came with the Fried Calamari was so good we ordered it with our side of fries The Cashew Encrusted Mahi was full of flavor and delicious!

Coast is a hidden gem. Great meals and awesome atmosphere. The bartenders are very good at their creations and the bar has a friendly crowd. It's a wonderful location and easy parking.

After a long day of our first day exploring Charleston, we set out on our way looking for a late night bite. Coast Bar & Grill hit the spot with their Southern and coastal flare. I had the fresh catch more simply served with mash, grilled veggies, and a pineapple slaw. My partner opted to get down with the regional cuisine and got the etouffée style.

I wish I took more pictures than just my plate! Although it was so worth it!! Cooked perfectly with all the flavor!! Hailey was an absolute gem of server! She was patient with the group I was with and had all the best recommendations! From the wine to the desert! GET THE APPLE FRIES A LA MODE!! This restaurant is going on the list of musts!!

Came into Charleston for the weekend and needed some dinner! So glad this place was open. Parking is tricky as you would expect but we found some parallel spots on the side street near here. For a party of 3 we were seated in 10 minutes and this place was packed so I was happy about that. We got some beers and for the appetizer we got the calamari. It was fresh and delicious but a little oily which will be a theme here For the entree I got the seafood basket with oysters and shrimp. The seafood was great there is no denying that but it and the fries were just a little overtly oily. It came with a bacon coleslaw too which was great but a little mayo heavy Overall food was fine just wish everything was a little less oily!
