Coast Bar & Grill 39D John Street, Charleston, SC 29403

"Great service and atmosphere. Wish I could say the same about the food. I had the low country grill, which was good (actually the corn puree was excellent), but the potatoes in the hash were substantially undercooked. The same could be said for the mixed vegetables my wife had. Worse, though my wife's mahi looked good, the grill marks were so burned in that it made the whole thing taste like charcoal (like I wondered if they had burned something with a lot of sugar in it badly and forgotten to clean the remnants from the grill). True pity, because it looked like a great fish. In summary, the vegetables were mostly undercooked (not in a gourmet way, in a "we don't know what we're doing way") and the mahi mahi was charred so badly it was the only thing we could taste. At least my shrimp were good. Again, service and atmosphere were very good."

"This restaurant is very inviting from the outside as it's tucked down an alley. I got the mussels and they were ok. The broth wasn't very flavorful. The blood orange margarita was decent. Just too much salt on the rim. Salmon was ok. The bar staff was the best part as they were friendly and attentive."

"We had a lovely dinner! Fresh seafood, excellent service from Nick, and the location was great for an easy walk to other attractions. We had thr Caesar salad, jalapeno cornbread and Mahi Mahi Catch of the day. Everything was delicious, portions were great and dinner was paced nicely for a great date night!"

"The server staff had a few "call in sick". The service was lack luster and we received the wrong bottle of wine and one person in my party was served the wrong entree. We did not get refills of water or soda and could not order a second cocktail. Simply understaffed. I would go back and try again, we just went on the wrong night. The food was presented well and was very good."

"The crab dip honestly tasted like tuna and not crab. It took over 20 minutes just to get water. The Mahi Mahi was honestly really good. The flounder was okay. The place seems a little understaffed and there weren't that may people there. It was a pretty nice atmosphere though. We liked the vibes."
