I brought my family to coastal Flats by chance - could not find a more convenient place - but what a surprise: impeccable service, superb food, great ambiance and reasonable prices. I'll definitely be back!
If you are looking for upscale casual and want high end service, this is the place. Flawless every time we go. The best grilled Tuna I have had in years. I usually save tuna for sushi because I am so picky. They got it right. Try the shrimp cocktail too. The mango is a nice touch.
I love the food at Coastal Flats and feel it is fairly priced. The bar area is nice too, if you want to take a break from shopping. the bread they serve in the beginning is delicious.
This location is set in a nice little shopping area and has a great outside area to sit in during nice weather -- especially for happy hour and some snacks! The food is very good and a nice variation on the menu, although perhaps slightly on the higher side of moderately priced, and the menu isn't that large.

This was our 1st time at Coastal Flats and the food was excellent. My husband and I shared the ahi tuna appetizer and it was phenomenal with the tuna seared perfectly! I ordered the drunken rib eye and it was mouth watering. The chef charred it just right.
I have visited Coastal Flats several times and have never been disappointed. Their dishes are made with fresh ingredients and they have great flavorful combinations. Price can be a little steep but the food, the drinks and the quality sevice bring me back.
