So I came here with my parents and fiancé on a recommendation from a friend, oh it didn't disappoint. Our server was a friendly and welcoming man (i forget his name, but he had a man's mustache). Our orders were taken promptly and came out at a good speed. The food itself was one to be remembered, 3 out of the 4 of us had food from the specials menu as we found the seafood options better on that menu. The dressed crab was light and full of flavour, the whole seabass was wonderfully cooked and flavoursome (however the presentation of the lovely dish could be changed a little, such as putting it on a wooden serving board would work better in my own personal opinion). The lobster and crab ravioli is definitely one to be had too, especially the sauce it was served in, truly delicious. The burger looked and tasted like an absolute staple from this place too, the burger itself was served pink and was full of flavour. Couldn't fault anything when it came to the taste of the food or the service, would very highly recommend for a night out. My only criticism about this place would be that it isn't very accessible for the people who have mobility issues, being as there is no downstairs toilet, however this cannot be helped by any of the amazing staff members here. 10/10 for food and dining experience though, I'd definitely return and recommend...
Read moreCreatures of habit, we last came to The Coast when we visited the Isle Of Wight two years ago...and it didn't disappoint!
As a family of 9 spanning over 60 years, we headed straight for The Coast after arriving on the Island for a late breakfast.
Opting for a range of grub, from simple scrambled eggs on toast to a full English breakfast, we had a short wait for grub which were all presented well.
The only (small) gripe was that the toast option was a sourdough variety which was very hard to cut with a knife let alone bite into. Moreover, the cute foil-wrapped butter sachets were a great addition to the "...on toast" options, but it meant we had to remove our eggs from the toast in order to spread the butter. Really not a biggie, but denture-wearers may want to update their warranties.
Onto the loos, the lock wasn't entirely dependable in one of them, almost coming away from the door. In addition to the flush handle not working especially well, the loos would benefit from a bit of tlc before the peak of summer season.
Mindful that we sound a bit high-maintenance and hard to please, we could not fault the staff at all. They were absolutely lovely, the food tasted amazing and the atmosphere was fab.
We will deffo be back in two years...I just won't be having the toast and will make sure I whistle...
Read moreI have to say this place really nails it. Four of us visited from the mainland and not having booked wandered around checking the menus to see what took our fancy.
The choices were the main decision maker for us on this place as the choices were interesting and varied and caters for a wide audience, from high end fish dishes to wood fired pizza options and roasts on a Sunday.
When near the sea it seems sacrilege not to fish it up and choices were not lacking. Scallops for starters and whole sea bass with rosemary roasted potatoes for mains for me and I couldn’t resist a nibbler of boquerones (my favourite way to eat anchovies). Others had Brie as a starter and roast beef and chicken supreme as well as another sea bass fillet with a chorizo and tomato risotto.
All of these dishes came out in good time without feeling rushed and without fault everyone thought their food was stunning. Flavours, freshness, portion size all spot on.
Couple with that some lovely cocktails and some tremendously good looking (and smelling) pizzas passing out table and yes this place is definitely a place to go.
Price for 4 with several drinks and some 3 courses was £200 which I think is perfectly reasonable for the quality and environment.
Top drawer, we...
