COAST Big Sur — Restaurant in Gonzales

We held our wedding reception at Coast and it was an absolute dream. The food, the drinks, the staff, and the location were impeccable. In the beginning we of course had a few places in mind, Andrea at Coast was the first person we met with and she sold us right away. The customer service was by far the best we experienced in Big Sur and the food was phenomenal, not just as wedding food, but one of the top meals we’ve ever had, best steak I’ve ever had for sure. our guests still talk about the food and the dinner experience to this day, the food is definitely an experience. You also can’t beat the ambiance of coast, it’s stunning even without the wedding decor and of course the view.

From the beginning Andrea was very clear about every detail and guided us through the whole process. Her husband Tyler was also very helpful. We didn’t rent anything for the wedding and what Andrea and my coordinator set up for the reception was beautiful. Right as the reception started a fog rolled in and we had to move everything inside and they were so helpful to get it done quickly and smoothly. After dinner we had the dance floor out on the patio which was perfect and so much fun, and everyone always had a full drink. The staff was so attentive. Even though we had to change so many things that night they were able to adapt to it all. We wish we could relive that day a million times over, and we can’t wait to go back to Coast just to have their food again. Thank you Andrea and Tyler for a night we’ll...

My husband Kosta & I got married in Big Sur in September of 2019. We had our welcome reception the night before on a Friday night at Coast. To sum up this review, I wish I could give 1,000,000+ stars if I could.

Andrea and her team were so accommodating, so welcoming, and completely went above and beyond for us. We were their very first large party they hosted after their renovation and they just completely knocked it out of the park. Communication leading up to the event was very clear. They were clear about their limited parking, their capacity restrictions, timing of the event, as well as their offering. They were so caring on the day of as well -- they got my husband and I each personalized gifts for the night, were so nice to our guests, and made sure everything was just so.

The food and desserts were outstanding. The wine/beer selection was fantastic and so was the crew behind the bar. I just can't say enough honestly. Most of our guests honestly talk about that night more than the wedding itself because it was so awesome. The music, the string lights, the sunset, good food and good vibes. What more could you want?

We went back the next morning after our wedding to take in the views and to reminisce on that night. We got a snack, ice cream, and poked around the adorable gift shop. Many of our guests also went back the next day as well. I can't wait to return to Coast! Thank you again Andrea and team. We have such fond memories because of you and your...

Please do your self a favor. Even with the road closure for the wash out. Stop here. Pulling up the atmosphere is amazing. The restaurant is built out of two old water towers (the wooden kind) when we walked into the art gallery we were kindly greeted and asked if we could be helped. We let her know we were here for food and she ensured us the best chef in Big Sur was here. We were not dissapointed. We ordered the Ricotta sourdough pizza and the veggie sour dough pizza. The ice cream also caught our eye but today we wanted to eat our meal before dessert. And it was amazing the pizza was perfect the crust was great the topping stood out despite being buried beneath rocket greens and a "divine" lemon vinaigrette (yes I am raving about salad dressing and you will too after you try it). After that was done we perused the gift shop full of amazing art, awesome hand crafted home goods, and an amazing array of books before knowing we needed the ice cream. We had the chocolate landslide and the zigzag. We highly recommend. Also enjoy the quiet serenity of this place no cellular signal from our phones it was an amazing moment of calm before driving to LA. We want to come back any time we can. Thank you for an...
