    Such a beautiful restaurant and service. Wonderful hostess staff too and we very much appreciate the hostesses rearranging our table arrangements after I inadvertently made a reservation at a high top for our party, which included my mother who uses a walker and would not be able to dine at a high top. Thank you Maestro’s for a lovely evening!

    We enjoyed an outstanding Christmas dinner dining experience. There were 16 in our party. Food was excellent, having a children’s menu was greatly appreciated, and our servers, Amber and Jessica, were outstanding…fun, professional, friendly and efficient. Thank you for a fantastic and memorable evening.

    Dined on Christmas Eve. Delicious food, felt a bit rushed, not knowing the kitchen was closing at 3:00. Totally understand, staff to go home and enjoy family. Would have been nice to have known while making our reservation.

    Very happy I chose Coastal Kitchen to bring my son and his family for our Christmas celebration. They had never been here and raved about the food! Entrees ordered were the ahi salad, the ahi entree, pork chop (it was huge!), ribs, and my personal favorite, the salmon. All were delicious! And, of course, we had to order the key lime pie--better than Tommy Bahamas; the crust is amazing!
