1054 Alberni St, Vancouver, BC V6E 1A3, Canada
Upmarket bi-level eatery serving West Coast seafood, with a huge circular oyster bar & cocktails.
Fashionable interior. The receptionist & manager was attentive. Our server Ben W. was friendly and considerate. We were there during happy hour and enjoy the following dishes very much : WAGYU BEEF CARPACCIO MUSSELS W/RED CURRY, GARLIC BREAD CALAMARI 2 FISH & CHIP CONES Next time we got to try the Smoke salmon flatbread and their oysters.
Always such an amazing experience, coming to the restaurant and eating such dank food the service is beyond exceptional. The atmosphere is always on point. I couldn’t be happier with the clam chowder. It’s my favourite place to go for clam chowder. We had a great experience with Isabella as our waitress for the evening and we celebrated my dad‘s 61st birthday. If you haven’t been here, you must try.
Edited: I had to change the rate because I tried to give the bar another chance and try the service again. For the second time I came to the bar and it disappointed me and my friend again. The service is very poor in the bar, and bartenders are not attentive at all unless you get lucky and get the hold of someone. They seem like their mind is somewhere else, not for the people sitting right in front of them or could be something else. We were waiting for fries and Calamari and it took us almost 1 hour and it only arrived when we asked them twice for the food. Not to mention that calamari wasn't crispy at all. I was at my break time and was very late to go back to work. I'm not sure if he was a supervisor who recooked the calamari and brought it back he tried to help us. Thanks for doing that. I totally understand how busy it can be but this 2 times we've been there wasn't even busy. Even though I like the place but for food and bar service, I'm not sure anymore. Great cocktails I like how fancy and quiet the bar is.
I went with my friends for brunch and had a great time. The food was good and the oysters were very good quality. We even got a complimentary carrot cake and smoothie. We were served by Stephen who was super friendly and attentive. Much recommended!
We had an amazing dining experience, thanks to Isabel. She thoroughly explained the details of each dish and even recommended some of her personal favorites. Her descriptions made it easy to imagine how the dishes would taste. The clam chowder was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Packed with seafood, it was incredibly flavorful. For the main course, I tried both the lobster pasta and the fish and chips. While the lobster was decent, it tasted as though it had been boiled in salt water and lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. The fish and chips were outstanding, crispy on the outside with firm, fresh fish inside. To finish, the Warm Banana & Coconut Butter Cake was so delicious . The sweetness was perfectly balanced, and the rich banana flavor was my favorite
From the moment we walked into Coast we were greeted with a warm smile and promptly seated at a cozy table. The hostess was welcoming and efficient, and we didn’t have to wait long before a server arrived to take our drink order. Our waiter, Andrew, was attentive without being overbearing, answering all our questions about the menu and offering excellent wine pairing suggestions. We had a few dietary requests, and Andrew made sure to relay them to the kitchen without hesitation. The food arrived in a timely manner, and everything was hot and presented beautifully. Andrew checked in with us periodically to make sure everything was to our liking, which we really appreciated. The ambiance of the restaurant was relaxing and tastefully decorated, contributing to an overall pleasant dining experience. Overall, the service was excellent, and we would definitely return to Coast for another enjoyable meal.
Me and my boyfriend visited Coast to celebrate my birthday this weekend and had a wonderful experience. The host was warm and welcoming, making sure we were comfortable at our table. Our server Caili was kind, funny, and super knowledgeable about the menu and she was very mindful about my dietary restrictions. She made sure I felt like a special guest celebrating my birthday! Looking forward to visiting Coast again! :)
I hosted another successful corporate event at Coast last night, and it was fantastic! The food was beyond incredible—think finger-licking, mouth-watering, can’t-get-enough amazing! Jessie and Peter were our hosts, and they made sure everything ran smoothly. From drinks upon arrival to ensuring the food was always fresh and replenished, they really took care of our guests. I highly recommend hosting events here! A few must-try items: - The sablefish is a game-changer—you'll thank me later! - They have an incredible selection of fresh, delicious oysters. - If you're a soy sauce fan, their house-made version is a revelation. I tried it in the spring, but I'm not sure if it’s available year-round. - And even though I’m not a dessert person, I’ve been snacking on the leftover cheesecake bites since last night—they’re dangerously delicious! Thank you Coast, Peter and Jessie for an amazing experience and a memorable night for our guests. You are 10/10. Note: the pictures are not all from the event mentioned in this comment, I added for reference from my past experiences at Coast.
Isabel was incredible. Her service was outstanding food was delicious as always. I hope that next time I am here with my incredible partner, Isabel is our server again.
Thank you Ben W. for outstanding service and hospitality at the Coast! You made our dinner special!
Food awesome! Atmosphere wonderful! Our server Ben W. was amazing and very attentive!!!! Top notch!!! Food
Great experience at Coast. Isabel was a gracious server with a great sense of humour. The food is excellent (special shoutout for the oysters and chocolate cake). The vibes are nice and cosy as well.
Michael M is the best Parking: Street parking Food : 5/5 |
Our server, Michael, made our dining experience unforgettable. From the start, he greeted us with a warm smile. He was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and checking in just the right amount. Michael was incredibly friendly, making us feel comfortable and well-cared for throughout the evening. Her professionalism and upbeat attitude made a great night even better!

Last Friday evening our company hosted a Christmas Party at Coast. What a fantastic evening! The food, service and staff were incredible. Thank you Peter and Jesse. We could not have asked for more. They were completely on top of things. Parking: A small Impark lot just down from Coast in the alley behind, just off of Burrard. Very cheap!!!
Excellent service from Laura B. and friendly staff throughout the restaurant. Pepper guy perhaps could be more attentive as he didnt hear my wife and put too much pepper on her meal.
Great start to our night over for the game. Had wonderful service at the bar from Ryan, great cocktails, every dish we ordered was delicious and came out quite quickly. Would definitely come here again
The food was great and Michael, our server, was great too!
Great spot, the lovely Isabel took care of us and suggested some delicious menu options, highly recommended

I came to celebrate my birthday and Stephen was very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommended this place!
Stephen! Kudos to you and your team. He was so accommodating and checked in on us. The food was great, drinks were amazing and happy hour was so worth it. Thank you Stephen for being so welcoming. We are definitely coming back.
Huge shoutout to Stephen! What a server! He was super accommodating and knew exactly how to surprise my friend for her birthday. He checked in on us and made sure our needs were met. Very kind and we are definitely coming back. Of course the team was super great since everyone were accommodating. But thank you Stephen! You kind of made our day. Because we didn t have the best service in a nearby restaurant so, THANK YOU! :)
Zach was attentive and the food was great
Absolutely great service very personable. Looking forward to being hosted by him again.
dont really understand the hype happy hour oysters are pretty alright, for 1.5/ea the expectation is never very high and theyre delicate, well selected oysters that definitely exceed the price tag (even if a little small) mini lobster roll is just a lobster roll cut in half, its the portion size i expected but not the presentation (at least precut the bread so it doesnt look like half a roll, dont premake the roll and then cut it when i order), also there were about 2 tiny pieces of lobster, the rest is filled with grocery store freezer section penny sized boiled shrimp, and that was too expensive for them so half the roll is also filled with shredded lettuce the coleslaw literally tastes like a grocery store salad kit also there was a bone in my partners salmon oshi LMFAO service is standard, not good, not bad, atmosphere is like cactus or etc if the food at whitespot is a 0/5 and the food at cactus is a 2/5 this food is like a 2.3 or something
Isabel was great!
Isabel was excellent! Thanks so much for great service!
Amazing experience! Thanks to Stephen for taking care of us!!
Great service with Ujjwol. Very attentive. We were a bit disappointed that at one point when Ujjwol was taking our order Mohit ( his manager) had to interrupt him and birrete him for something. That could have been done in the back and NOT infront of clients. Food
I took my lady out for a nice dinner date and was wonderfully impressed. The food was delicious and the restaurant is beautiful. Our server Zack was kind, welcoming, and informative.
Had a great experience at Coast. We made a reservation for 2 ,and the woman at the front kindly seated us promptly. Our exceptional server Isabelle was friendly, and made sure that our food service was consistently great. We ordered some food items from the happy hour menu and they were very tasty. My favourites were the oysters, and the crab dip :)
Great experience. Our server Khalil was amazing!
Zach was fantastic.
Zack was great !! Very friends serving us.
Lovely weekday lunch with the help of Zach today! Highly recommend stopping in for the lunch deal!
Each was the best server ever!!!!
Zack is great !!!!!

Coast is our favourite restaurant in Vancouver. Zachary, our waiter today, made us feel very welcome. Thanks again guys. Maria Food
Everything was delicious, the recomendations from Zack were very accurate, we sure will come back, I recomend the fish tower and creme brulee
Zach was awesome! Amazing service very attentive! Excited to be back at Coast!
Our server Caili was great! I love her red Christmas bow as well! 10/10 service!
Our server Caili really made our dining experience special. WOW! What an amazing server! The food was also delicious :)
I spend entirely too much time here, but the vibes are great and staff is nice. A Vancouver staple among the legal community as well.
Zach was a wonderful server!!
Zach s service was remarkable. Best happy hour in Vancouver and perhaps the world!
Wonderful experience, Zach was excellent and really knew the menu. Gave great recommendations. 10/10. Definitely going again
On December 15th, my family and I visited Coast Restaurant, a spot my husband and I visit every couple of weeks. Normally, we enjoy the ambiance and impeccable service, often sitting at the bar where everything flows smoothly. However, this visit was deeply disappointing. We made a reservation for five and were pleased to be seated at the specific table we requested. Unfortunately, it took 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us, and when our server finally arrived, she seemed scattered and disorganized. The first round of drinks went fine, but the experience quickly deteriorated. When ordering appetizers, two people in our party ordered oysters, and the server suggested they share the condiments something we ve never encountered before. It felt bizarre and unprofessional. The service continued to lack coordination, culminating in a delay with the payment process. The server brought the bill, but then there was a visible disagreement with the manager over why the payment machine hadn t been brought. Adding to the confusion, we were still waiting for the last order of oysters. The manager eventually removed them from the bill, but the overall experience left us unimpressed. Luckily, we were only there for appetizers, as we had plans to dine elsewhere. Still, this was by far the worst service I ve ever experienced at Coast. It was such a stark contrast to the polished, efficient service we ve enjoyed in the past when dining at the bar. I attempted to follow up with Stephanie, a manager, the next day to share my feedback. Despite leaving messages and calling multiple times, I was unable to get in touch with her, which only added to the frustration. Coast has always been a favorite of ours, but this visit was a significant letdown. I hope this feedback serves as an opportunity for the restaurant to address these issues, as the level of service on this occasion did not align with the high standards we ve come to expect.
We enjoyed our anniversary at Coast! Thanks to our server Zach , who was exceptional.
Had a great night here with good food! Got the gnocchi and my bf got the dry aged steak, would definitely get again. Zach was our server and he was great! Thanks Coast!
Great food and service by Michael.
Always amazing. We had a corporate event with Coast in December and it went perfectly. Emma Jo managed the organization of the event without a hitch!
A BIG thank you to the Coast team for hosting an absolutely delightful holiday party for a group of over 100 attendees. The care, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and heart that was put into this event was above & beyond what we expected. A special thank you to Emma Jo, Franklin, Josh, & everyone else who added their own flair to make our celebration even more memorable. We are looking forward to visiting again soon!
Zacrett was really awesome. Helped us to select right food. Enjoy every moment.
I came in for lunch with my friend and we were seated in their patio. They have heaters available so it felt nice and warm during the meal. We loved the featured halibut which our server suggested. The fish was cooked perfectly! Our server Ujjwol was so warm and welcoming. He gave great suggestions for the cocktails and food and we loved everything! The Alberni Crush was fantastic!
Isabel our server was so welcoming and kind! She always checked in on us and made us feel very comfortable while dining. The food was AMAZING but the creme brulee was cold unfortunately. But everything else was so perfect!! A very great night out.
Zach was an amazing and charming server. Very prompt and efficient. We really enjoyed our time, And Zach help make our experience very enjoyable! The food was absolutely amazing! We had the lobster feast.
Food was amazing. A delightful evening in a beautiful restaurant. Classy and unpretentious. Zachery was on point with the service. Definitely coming back
Recently hosted our company holiday dinner party at Coast! We booked the O Lounge for our party of 50 and everyone was thrilled with the holiday decor, service and food! The wait staff were incredibly friendly and attentive to all of our requests! I would highly recommend Coast to anyone! Thanks for making our dinner fantastic!!
Decorated high end restaurant with very nice seafood menu, sushi and sashimi was great and enjoyed pasta too
I had late lunch here today and had an amazing food and service by my server, BenW! I had their happy hour menu and I loved it! Had the 1.50 a shuck oysters and also the mussel and truffle fries and they were all very yummy! I highly recommend checking this place out!
Our experience at the Coast Restaurant in Vancouver was fantastic. The service was impeccable from Stephen and the entire lunch staff. Every time we go there the food and atmosphere are excellent and my family looks forward to our next visit. Great place and amazing location!
Isabel was our server and she was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and very kind. The food was perfection. Love everything about this place.
Isabel was our amazing server! And this is the best experience I have ever had in a restaurant because of Isabel!
Caution needs to used, oyster caused a few of our party members to get sick. We experienced this a couple weekends ago when we attended there happy hour. The hostess was unpleasant to deal which was the first indicator of how our visit would go. As our party arrived, staff informed each of us different times allowed to be at the restaurant. Servers were also difficult and disconnected making the whole visit a main discussion versus enjoying our family member birthday. Each attending server seemed to be flustered by the additions of our family arriving and caused significant orders to take several minutes and delays. Overall, this was a disappointing experience and would likely not come back due to the lack of service after reporting the food poison incident and our overall staff experience to the General Manager of Coast (Alberni location).
Wagyu appetizer is really good.
Came in and got the three coarse dinner with friends, it was okay. Weird that they dont have a carafe of water they can leave at your table.
Stephen was amazing!
We enjoyed the food and service immensely. Zach, one of our waiters, was in a trainee position. Not much training left to do!!!
Ben W. provided an amazing service for our special night! Will for sure come back and hope to be served by him.
Stephen was the most amazing server ever. He did make our time awesome. Really charming and understandable. Make my friends have an amazing time. I will come only when he s working !
We had an amazing experience with Stephen! Great food and service.
Thanks Michael for the great service!
Michael was delightfully attentive to my friend s gluten-free needs.
Took my client for a Christmas dinner treat and Coast could not have been a more perfect place to make my client feel special! All the pretty trees out front and festive feel inside! The food was phenomenal. I started with the beet salad, delicious! And ended with the Sable fish. No one in this city does a better sablefish than Coast! BIG thanks to the manager Lindsay and our server Gloria you made our experience so memorable!!!
Went for the Seafood and Lobster Christmas Brunch Buffet. Quite a spread and most food was pretty tasty too. Sushi wasn t the best and desserts were a bit dry but overall food was pretty good. Buffet was a bit expensive but otherwise recommend. Food
Went for the Seafood and Lobster Christmas buffet. Food was really good and well worth the price. Loved the Christmas decorations as well!!!
Best food and service ever! Thanks Stephen!
Stephen was absolutely fantastic and such a great server. He took great care of us and I couldn t recommend him more.
Our dinner at Coast was fantastic. Zack and Sally provided great service to make our evening very enjoyable.
Caili service was exceptional.
It was amazing, literally had no words because everything was perfect . Caili our waitress had the best recommendations and they didn t disappoint
My husband and I went for the $95 per person seafood buffet at the Coast Restaurant. At the time of the reservation, the restaurant required us to pay for the full $190 plus 20% gratuity plus GST which we did. The restaurant atmosphere was good. However, the food choices in the buffet was limited. The raw oysters were small and paper thin, almost see through thin. There was snow crab and shrimp but they tasted frozen with no freshness. No extra napkins or utensils to eat them. There was lobster/prawn sushi but again all we tasted was the rice roll the lobster/shrimp was tasteless. There was no hot soup. There was also no coffee/tea/juice included in the $95 buffet lunch. My husband ordered a coffee and we paid extra for it. I had never been to a buffet that I did not try the dessert/fruit table and Coast was the first time. The dessert table was small with six or seven unappealing choices, e.g. mini muffin. When we were ready to pay for the coffee at the end, we waited for 5 minutes for the waiter as he was busy talking with the table behind us. We were also surprised to see that the waiter tagged on 20% gratuity on the $5 coffee when he presented the bill to us. I know 20% on $5 is not much money but we were not particularly impressed that the waiter determined for us the amount of tips for his service. We were very disappointed with the experience.
Zack was awesome
Great service from Stephen for our team lunch.
Zack took care of us today. He was super caring and friendly. Thank you Zack!!
Zac is really nice!
Gloria was wonderful! She took great care of us during our work holiday party.
Food, as always, was amazing! And Acadia Zach was wonderful!
With BenW as Server
Amazing food, good oyster in happy hour. Peter is very nice and knowledgeable server! We are here the second time! Benw is our server and he is amazing too! Will definitely come back!
Ben w was so kind, generous and made our visit so memorable. If youre looking for a good happy hour and better service this is the spot.
Great food great service Kid-friendliness: Very good for kids Food : 4/5 |
great deal for happy hour oysters!
Thanks Gloria for the great service.
Thanks Gloria for the great service!
Absolutely amazing experience thanks to our server Stephen. Give my homie a raise.
Coast is always a good experience. Our server Caili is the best. She is sweet , attentive and on top of things
Caili what s the best way to us? We had a lovely time and she gave us the best options for the menu. We ve been coming here for nine years every year for Christmas and she was the best thing that ever happened to us with her red bow!
One of my favourite Vancouver restaurants. Consistently high standard of food, drinks and service. Special shout out to our server Caili who was the best!
Had a great experience with Stephen and the whole serving team. The food was fantastic as always, they were kind enough to split a dish that we were sharing.
My family and I were at the Holiday Brunch buffet and none of us was impressed by their service and food quality. Upon arrival, we weren t greeted with a simple Good Morning but a robotic voice You have reservation? while the whole time the hostess stared at the computer. Then she further instructed us with a commanding voice that we must leave by noon. A waiter brought us to our table which was wobbly. It took us over 10 minutes to flag down a waiter to have it fixed. In addition, we weren t greeted by any waiters and we had to flag down a number of people in order to order our morning tea/coffee. Every server responded that they would get us our server who never came. Until the 3rd person and he finally took our drink order reluctantly. Food was underwhelming for $100 per person. Hot food items were cold and what appalled us was they served undercooked turkey and insisted that it was perfectly cooked. This is definitely a food safety issue; of course we left it untouched. Such a disappointing experience and perhaps yet another money grabbing event during the holidays or swifties weekend. If you are reading this and considering this restaurant, you are definitely better off heading to Earls or Cactus Club. At least you would get some decent food and service and half the price!
Vinny was professional and personal, he anticipated our needs and delivered promptly. It was a very pleasurable brunch today. We both really enjoyed it. Parking: Several underground parking spots available at reasonable downtown rates
Gloria and Lindsay made our anniversary dinner one to remember! The food was amazing and flavourful. Thank you for having us! Greetings, Hector and Ileanne!
Salmon flat bread was to die for, happy hour oysters and prosecco were great, and Vjjwol was a very attentive and warm server.
Salle was amazing. I loved her description of all the wonderful dishes the restaurant has to offer!!
I loved the happy hour food menu and service topped of the experience. Well dont team Coast!
Friendly services from Stephen ^^
Great Service. Food was average. Oysters and Calamari was amazing!
Stephen was fantastic and the food was amazing!
Michael provided an exceptional service! Food was delicious. I always love coming to Coast
First time in Vancouver. Coast was a great first impression. Seafood was amazing. Lovely atmosphere. We had Michael as our waiter and he gave us great service. 10/10 will be back!
Laura B was amazing. Great service and food!!
Laura B was fantastic!!!! Fellow Swiftie :)
Laura B. Was the best server!! She was so attentive, had a great sense of humor, and consistently smiled and offered the best customer service! The food was so good! The spicy tuna role was chefs kiss! Thank you Laura B. For making my first dining experience in Canada so memorable!
If there was a Taylor Swift of servers, it would undoubtedly be Laura B. ! Just like Taylors lyrical genius and magnetic stage presence, Laura brings a dazzling charm and exceptional attention to detail to the dining experience. Thanks for welcoming us Americans. We hope you get tickets!
We enjoyed our meal and Sallie provided great service
Michael our waiter was great!
Peter was an amazing waiter! Very knowledgeable about wine, and friendly and personable. Highly recommend!
Nice place the global group is usually a safe bet. Server Michal was helpful
Peter is the best
Food and atmosphere were outstanding but our server, Isabel, made the meal. She was knowledgeable, attentive and very welcoming.
Sean, the server was personable and attentive. And other staff were excellent.
Gloria made my 50th birthday the best experience so far. Thanks for the love.
Great food, great atmosphere and great service! Sean was our server- he was hilarious, attentive and knowledgable. We will definitely return to Coast!
Went to Coast for Happy Hour. Great food & great service from Gloria. Well worth the visit.
The staff was incredibly kind and the food was delicious! We sat on the patio which was a genius set up but executed a little poorly- the floor was tilted which made me a little nauseous/the heaters were very hot. Honestly it doesn t sound great but the rest was so good that it definitely made up for it and we had a great experience overall!
Awesome as always ! Gloria took really good care of us
Excellent service and great snacks at the happy hour. Stephen helped to make a wonderful early evening treat
Great atmosphere and fantastic service from Peter! We had the lobster night course menu, would have it again
Gloria was very nice and bubbly :) would come back
If you like high quality food, this is not the place to visit! However, if you like to waste your money and get 0 service and eat lobster pasta that taste like lamb, this is a great place for you. Very poor wine option.
What in the world was that holiday buffet? I was highly disappointed with the food provided at a $100+ price point. I usually come to COAST for their regular dining experience and have always vouched for it to have the best seafood, but when I went in today it was way below my expectations. The food felt as though it was just all leftover food that needed to be eaten before they expired: the oysters smelled funky and tasted extremely salty, the fruit salad was extremely hot and bruised, the poached egg Benedict was fully cooked, and more! It wasn t just the food either, I felt sorry for the staff not having enough room to walk around due to the placement of the food and folks walking around, and some diners had to climb up and down the stairs back and forth for the main dishes.. at least we got a work out in with our fancy shoes on. I d normally give COAST 5 stars, but this event really made me rethink it as a go-to dining experience.
I ve always loved coming to Coast the food quality and service are consistently amazing! That s why I was excited to try their holiday buffet, expecting the same exceptional experience. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. For the $100 price point, the food quality fell far below the standard I ve come to expect from this restaurant. It felt like a huge letdown compared to their usual offerings. Please reconsider hosting buffets like this, as it risks tarnishing the restaurant s well-earned reputation. I ve given a low rating on this review to ensure the restaurant sees my feedback. Additionally the seating was cramped and it was difficult to move. My partner had food spilled on his back! Completely unacceptable. I love Coast for its regular dining experience, but this buffet has made me hesitant to trust the quality of any special events in the future.
I ve always loved visiting the Coast with my friends because of its outstanding food quality. So when they released their Lobster & Seafood Christmas Brunch Buffet, we were thrilled to try it out. At $120 per person (after tax and service fees), it was definitely on the pricier side, but we trusted Coast s reputation for exceptional quality. Unfortunately, that trust was misplaced this time. What lobster? The lobster & shrimp sushi roll or the dry lobster pasta? Neither lived up to the hype. The oysters in the seafood section were low quality, far worse than what s offered during their regular dine-in service. Half the seafood options were just sushi rolls, leaving the big prawns as the only highlight. For an event labeled Lobster & Seafood, this buffet was a massive letdown. Coast, you re better than this.
We held my fathers retirement dinner in the port room and everything was incredible. The food was outstanding, Khalil did an amazing job with the service, and everything went smoothly and as planned. Also a big thank you to Emma at events for making this happen so short notice!
If youre planning an event here, youre in excellent hands! Emma Jo went above and beyond to make our event a success. She s organized, calm, and incredibly personable, and always responded to emails and questions promptly. The service on the day of the event was also great. The staff was attentive and ensured we had a fantastic experience. Shout out to Jesse, Blaine, and Peter for making everything so seamless!
Had wonderful dinner prior to heading to Springsteen!! Our server Gloria knew we had time constraints and brought our food amd wine promptly. A real pro!
Had an incredible experience thanks to Laura B! This was our first time at the restaurant and we were wow ed from the moment we entered to the moment we left. Food exceeded our expectations, Laura B. took excellent care of us and was one of the best servers we ve had. We both work in the service industry and our experience with Laura B. reminded us of why we love the industry. Thank you coast and Laura for everything! We can t wait to return and will be requesting to sit in Laura s section.
Fabulous food, great service from Ujjwol & Rhonda. Ambience a bit noisy for our liking. Hard to have a decent conversation without yelling. The place has good energy though. Food
Loved the happy hour!! The food was incredible plus the server and manager was very attentive and personalized
Great place for occasion. Ben and Isabel took great care of us!
We had a good time, food was great, and our server, Caili was lovely.
Had dinner here with my gf to celebrate my birthday. We had a really good time and our sever Isabel is amazing, thank you!
Ben W and Isabel were fantastic. The lobster special spectacular
We had dinner at Coast November 23. Food was fantastic. Flavourful, nicely presented, and well priced. We had truffle and mushroom flatbread and crab cakes to start. Dinner was halibut and chips, salmon, and desserts were the Banana and Coconut cake, and the Layered Chocolate Mint cake. Everything was delicious. We could not find fault with any of the dishes. Wine list is extensive with something for everyone. The service was excellent. Ben W our waiter, and Murat the GM, were extremely friendly , attentive and helpful in recommending dishes. Service was efficient and seamless . I noticed that Murat the GM made a point to check in on every table , ensuring that everyone was well taken care of. Ben, our waiter, was very helpful in ensuring that our food came out a bit fast as we needed to be somewhere else after dinner. Atmosphere was lively and fun. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. All in all , a fantastic dining experience all around. Will definitely return and recommend to anyone.
Omg one of the best dining experiences I had so far, I would say the service and the servers were much better than the food because we had a way interaction, especially with Isabel and Ben and the manager Lindsay, she was so much fun! Loved every interaction with her she definitely knows what she s doing it! Loved the experience and loved every interaction, kudos to Ben and Isabel for their wonderful service and warm.
Isabelle was amazing. So catering to our needs. Very efficient and genuine. Can t wait to come back!
We came for a family dinner, it was great, everything was very good, we had sushi and a few dishes offered by our server Andrew, it was perfect. Well come back, thanks Andrew
Thank you Franklin and Jacob for the wonderful experience, me and my girls was thrilled with their hospitality. Food is always amazing, lobster bisque is to die for! Definitely gonna come back and try the lobster course menu soon!
Great host and service by Ujjwol! Loved it
Ben was great.
Ben W was our sever today! He was amazing, excellent service, gave us good food recommendations and he was super fun to talk to! :) We will be back!

One of my favourite places for happy Hour! Our server Ben W. was lovely too! Had great time. Great service, great food thanks Ben :)
Michael was great!
Food was excellent. Laura B deserves special mention. I was part of a large group attending a lecture at the restaurant and she was amazing in her professionalism and how she balanced the need to keep providing excellent service while not disrupting the lecture.
Great food - the appetizers were amazing! Excellent service by Laura B and other servers to my group of 30 or so people! Thanks again! Food
Excellent experience tonight, service was fantastic. Our server Michael was super attentive. Great food, the Scallop Risotto was delicious.

Came for buck-a-shuck oysters during their promotion. Fantastic food, atmosphere, and our server, Stephen, was friendly and helpful. Kids loved their pasta, and were kept busy with some provided paper and crayons. Could not ask for more.

Michael was very attentive!
5 stars to Michael. It was a bit of a hectic evening because of my friend s lack of planning, but we were lucky enough to get Michael who made our dining experience quite pleasant.
Great happy hour and oysters at Coast today and great service from Ben W.
The wait staff in our section were helpful and attentive, however the blonde host was very rude and set the evening off with a bad taste in our mouths. It felt like we were a burden just for being there. Ive had better hospitality experiences at mom and pop places than a restaurant like this which has a reputation for being an institution in the area. The food was great, and the happy hour is also a great deal, however I most likely wont be returning.
Sam was an amazing server! Had the best suggestions and made the night go well
I had a mixed experience at this restaurant. Unfortunately, our hostess was quite rude and unwelcoming, which set a negative tone for our visit. However, our waiters, Ben and Michael, were absolutely fantastic! They were extremely accommodating, attentive, and friendly. They completely turned our experience around and made our dining atmosphere enjoyable.
Stephen is great, i really recommend him!!!
Stephen, I went there, the food and services were really good and the atmosphere there was really nice.
We tried this place for the first time and it was amazing! Stephan gave us great service.
Caili was our server and she made our day, she was so friendly to our table and made sure we were very taken care of, if there s one reason to come try this resturant, it s Caili! When it came to food recs she was super professional with it as well as just making our entire experience amazing. Will definitely be coming back!

We went to Coast for happy hour before a concert last Friday. We had a great time and were well taken care of by Vinny, our able server. The food was wonderful and the happy hour drinks a real bargain. Our group highly recommends Coast. We will definitely go back there next time we are in Vancouver.
When to Coast for a family brunch. Stephen was very friendly and attentive to our table. He made us feel like home. The food was great and everyone really enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend.

Would give 10 stars for Caili if possible, food was amazing, service even better. We were painful customers changing tables 3 times and Caili did everything without question and a smile. Made our experience even better. Thank you Caili!!
10 stars out 5 for service! Caili was superb, it was my birthday and we had friends that arrived 2 hours late and she was so helpful and understanding with everything. Would definitely recommend.
Our server Gloria was glorious! We went in for happy hour and the 1.50 oysters - all the food was awesome , especially the lobster and shrimp roll! Looking forward to dining in again! Second review! Our server was Stephan this time and he was also awesome!! I went with my fiance and my friend and I went for the eggs Bennys this time and 1.50 oysters again! :D Stephan was super friendly and on top of keeping our drinks full and checking in on us - he even treated us to some carrot cake and tiny smoothies on the house - both were super tasty! One of the other servers that helped bring in the smoothie noticed it had spilled a bit so brought out a fresh one which was very perceptive of him the staff here are all so stellar and attentive - maybe the first day I came in they were more busy than usual - the second time seemed slightly better since they really went the extra mile from the start ie, asking to check in oir coats, grabbing little stools to put our bags on at the table , the carrot cake and near the end of the meal Stephan made sure to ask if we wanted any coffee or tea :D Coast such a great restaurant to visit they know how to make every visit a great one!
Excellent service and food. Top notch care from the restaurent manager Mohit and all staff.
Benw was a wonderful staff, very thoughtful and caring. Made great recommendations. Wonderful night!
Michael was a great server. Very attentive and friendly. Gave great suggestions for food and we enjoyed everything from appies, mains and dessert.

We dined at Coast for their lobster night to celebrate an anniversary dinner. The food was excellent quality and well prepared. Our server, Peter, was an absolute delight. He was able to explain the menu to us and offered great wine suggestions! Everyone in the restaurant was incredibly attentive and friendly despite it being a full house.
Peter offered best experience for our dinning.
