Four of us had a terrific time here. We were seated upstairs overlooking the bar and raw bar prep area - very entertaining and probably quieter than if we'd been seated downstairs. I started with 6 BC raw oysters - yummy. My husband had the cioppino to start and it had a nice heat and selection of seafood. Two of... More

The restaurant is very noisy and the space is maximized to the top. Tables are very closed to each other and you can hear all the conversation around you. Wine list is ok. Service is good. I ordered the seafood platter for 2 people for myself. The produce were fresh but it was really not enough. I had to order... More

We had a lovely meal here. We booked a table in advance and were glad we did because the place was really busy with a queue. The servers were really helpful in recommending different dishes and the food was amazing. The portions were a little on the small side though so we did end up ordering extra side orders.

Unfortunately the vegetables were not the best combination with the fish. As a starter we had the calamari: amazing!! Of couese we got desert: red... More

We made reservations about 5 days in advance for 4 and arrived 20 minutes early. We didn't have to wait for long at all which was unexpected, but then I saw where they were seating us and would have easily waited until the reservation time if this was what you get when you arrive early. They sat us right beside... More

Coast was recommended to us by our hotel receptionist. We took a walk round to check it out. We liked what we saw a lovely trendy restaurant with a heated outside terrace. Everyone had told us not to leave Vancouver without trying Spot Prawns so my husband spoke to Craig checked that they had Spot Prawns & booked a table... More

The greeter was good, our waitress left something to be desired. Food was fantastic, from sushi to their seasonal special of red spotted prawns (the appie, entree and dessert portion was great). Salad was refreshing, the seafood was spot on, cooked perfectly seasoned just enough but not overpowering. The restaurant is busy, try not to get a seat too close... More

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed your meals with us! Admittedly, sitting near the open concept kitchen can be a bit noisier with all of the bustle happening behind the line. Please know if you are not satisfied with your table our team is always happy to accommodate! We look forward to welcoming you back to COAST again soon! More

Staff is excellent - accomodating and helpful. Food is very good, although in my experience, a little overpriced for the product. In a large group, nobody complained, but nobody raved either.
