Coast in North Down

Just home from our family Christmas night out at Coast, Holywood. I'm guessing when I booked the table back in March they thought I was nuts lol. But Christmas jumpers were on tonight and the whole night was superb. Food was delicious with many of the family saying it was the best Christmas meal they had ever had. It was only topped by the amazing service from Andy and the rest of the staff (sorry I didn't get all your names). Nothing was too much trouble and the night went like clockwork. Thank you guys for everything. Have a lovely Christmas when you eventually get off work xx

Food was tasty, staff friendly. Restaurant was a little chilly but it was a cool day on Saturday. Was a little surprised to see a charge on the bill for some mayonnaise. Otherwise good lunch.

Food delicious, service excellent, staff very accommodating and pleasant. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Stephen. Co Armagh.

Compliments to the chef - fantastic meal yet again. Second time we’ve ate here - unreal Turkey dinner and Guinness was lovely too. Free baby bowl of mash gravy and veg was excellent and three year old picky eater daughter inhaled her Turkey dinner. Top marks. We came from Newtownabbey for this dinner and we will again

Last minute decision but an excellent decision. Am sure it was because we went for the early bird menu that there was availability. Fabulous food-my old smokie cod was Devine. Would highly recommend and if we are ever back in Hollywood, will revisit!

Had a lovely lunch here, food is very good and the staff are very attentive. Would definitely recommend. Great choice of menu with daily specials.

Great local spot for dinner. Left well fed and very satisfied. Really nice chicken gojouns and fish and chips to stand up in a competitive market! Stevie looked after us and were very well attended and never felt abandoned despite arriving at the same time as a very large group.

Friendly, efficient service, family friendly and relaxed atmosphere! Would recommend!

Had a very tasty meal. Was quiet on the night we went. Good menu and plenty of drink options.

We had been out for the day and had booked Coast for dinner after reading the reviews . We were not disappointed. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and service was excellent . Food was all yummy , piping hot and good portions . Competitively priced. We would recommend and will definitely return .

Service absolutely terrible Slow - Rude - and horrendous language at volume with young kids present. Food very greasy My wife complained to the manager at the end with more detail and he couldn’t care less Will not be back and will proactively be telling people of our experience.

Delicious fresh food. Friendly, helpful staff. Great menu.

We called in on spec for a quick lunch and received excellent service from excellent staff. We were seated in minutes and waited no length of time to have our meals arrived. The food was great and the we both enjoyed the experience. It was very reasonably priced and we both agreed that we will definitely return.

Great food, went for Sunday roast. Highly recommend, will visit again.

Had an early dinner with my hubby today, and the food was gorgeous. He had the Sea bass and I had the Coast burger, we tried each others, the Sea bass was cooked to perfection, crisp skin and soft flesh. My burger had two beef patties, lovely smokey char grill outside and soft tasty beef centre, I loved every bit. Tim had Apple and raspberry crumble, which came with cream, ice-cream and custard I had to help him eat it 🤣 will definitely be back.

Excellent meal yesterday evening in Coast. My husband & I shared the pate to begin. I choose the pan fried hake & my hubby choose the daube of beef. We finished off with the apple and raspberry crumble (highly recommended by the waiter) & it did not disappoint! A delicious meal from start to finish, will definitely visit again. Well done Coast! A ******

Had a beautiful family meal here today. Food delicious, staff friendly and efficient and a great ambiance. Defo be back👍

This was for my friends 80th birthday. Four of us used to work together and have tried to keep in touch. The restaurant had reserved us a private cubicle and had a lovely glass of procesecco on our table when we arrived. The food was delicious, the staff were amazing and prices were absolutely affordable (unusual these days!). Definitely recommend, 100%

The food was delicious. Service was prompt. The staff were chatty as we were visiting from Australia. Couldn't fault this friendly restaurant.

Visiting Belfast from Australia. No booking required. Staff were extremely friendly. Food was excellent. Could not fault the service or food.

I would recommend "Coast" to anyone coming to Belfast. The staff were amazing-friendly and informative. The were casual and had time for a chat and a laugh without detracting from their efficient service. The food was perfectly prepared - both in taste and presentation.

Great selection of dishes for lunch including smaller portions options.

First time here and had a great experience.. loved the food with great service! So good I forgot to take any pics of the food!

Great we restaurant! The club sandwich and loaded wedges were fantastic! We'll be back next week the try their 3 cocktails and sharing plater for £25 each

Wonderful food and atmosphere went for a family meal and the food was the best ive had for a long time . I had the hake and it was delicious rest of the family loved their meals ,our go to now in holywood.

Absolutely lovely restaurant & amazing food, will happily be coming back here!

Very good taste of dinner. We will come back again

I had lunch here today with my husband and 7 month old baby. The staff were so accommodating with our pram and providing a safe and secure highchair and a table with enough space. There is also extremely clean baby changing facilities. I feel it's important to highlight this as it's so hard to go for meals when you have a baby. All staff were very friendly and provided a relaxed atmosphere. We had mains, desserts and coffees. Could not fault anything. Menu was amazing, so much choice and brilliant prices too. We will be back. Thank you.

First time in Coast , a terrific restaurant in Holywood town. Atmosphere excellent, staff really friendly, food superb and reasonably priced. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be back again.

Called in for lunch and was very impressed. Nice friendly staff and tasty food. Chicken and chorizo pie was delicious.

Great place friendly and efficient staff

Excellent fry. Wished I'd asked for beans with it, completely forgot 😆

Staying at culloden looked for somewhere handy that had good food and decent portions. On recommendation from a local we tried coast. The starters were tempting however I thought that maybe just go with main . I ordered the Thai green chicken curry that comes with rice and flatbread, I decided to also add some fries thinking that the portions might not be massive. My wife ordered chicken fajitas and again ordered a side of mushrooms and onions . The food came out and was pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions. Bot only was the portion large the taste was next level, one of the best green Thai curries i have had. It was actually a struggle to finish the portions and usually I eat a lot. Highly recommend and price for two of us under £50 . Not bad .

Amazing 2nd visit…. However was I served Shark or cod …… still even now cannot believe the size of the piece of fish I was served. IT WAS MASSIVE !!!!! Haha Genuinely was absolutely delicious and the most tasty piece of battered fish you could get. Absolute perfection. Couldn’t finish it, as expected , had to take it back home with me, my husband was delighted as he was super jealous when I sent him a photo of my dinner when it had arrived to our table! I visited last year for the first time in recommendation, so as I was in the area came again this month! I’ll absolutely be visiting here every time I’m in the area. Thanks again for a lovely meal, and equally for giving me a double shot of coffee in my latte for my drive back to the north coast !

Had a great evening meal here with my dad. Friendly welcome, great food and service

We have just had the most wonderful evening to celebrate my mums birthday and our 30th wedding anniversary ❤️ the food was amazing and the staff are wonderful. Stevie is a credit to Coast. Highly recommended....thank you all for making our night so special!

We have had the most perfect evening celebrating my mum's 82nd birthday and our 30th wedding anniversary ❤️ the food was amazing and the staff were truly wonderful. A special thank you to Stevie..you are a credit to Coast! Thank you all so much x

This restaurant was fabulous. Food excellent and staff were very helpful and friendly. Seating was nicely arranged so that you were well away from other diners. Will definitely be back.

Great restaurant. Becoming a favourite of mine. It has seafood, steak, chicken etc and all tastes great. Well presented and good portions. Staff very helpful, friendly and attentive. Top marks coast

Great place food was amazing. Great service lovely cocktails to finish We will definitely be back.

This is the nicest Gluten free meal i have ever had. I have multiple dietary requirements including anaphylaxis and Chef accommodated me so well. The waiting staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive (i witnessed one waiter from his own initiative help a mother and her baby in a pram out of a booth once she was finished dining before she would have struggled manoeuvring). The atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming. The food is so fresh and i believe from what i tasted Chef makes everything from scratch right down to his own tobacco onions and peppercorn sauce. The prices are very reasonable and portion sizes are perfect. We aren't local but will definitely make the journey back again regularly. (Pics are of my gluten free meal, chicken goujons with fries and sweet chilli. Apple and raspberry crumble with dairy free icecream.)

Always a great spot for lunch or dinner

I have been in here a few times and always found the food great

First class service, good selection of great food. Friendly staff.

Had lovely fish and chips the fish was huge staff very friendly

Consistently good food and a both quick and friendly service. Staff are always very warm and welcoming, and have excellent knowledge of the menu. Will be back soon.

Good food, atmosphere and very helpful staff and service. Suggest booking in advance. Shall definitely be back.

Lovely food. Great menu. Great service. Quiet night. Will be back, God willing.

Reluctant to say how amazing here is as I don't wantbit getting so.popular I won't be able to get a table lol. Food, venue, staff....everything is amazing. Nothing bad to say about the place. Our go to for any occasion and if there isn't one we'll make one up. 💜

We had a Christmas Dinner at Coast which was the best Christmas Dinner we had this year! The food was of excellent quality and the Service was very good.

Had Mum's 80th Birthday party near Christmas. The staff were so helpful during the organisation & for pre booking menu choices. I could give them a ring any time. The staff on the night were very friendly, helpful & up for a bit of banter. They could not do enough for us to make us comfortable & relaxed. The food was excellent & really good portions. We had a guest who was vegan & she was very pleased with the options she had. I was thoroughly recommended this restaurant & it wint be long until we are back.

wow what can I say about this gem of a restaurant. My 2 friends and I called in on the hop, we were given a great table upstairs. Our lovely waitress despite it being busy was very attentive to our needs. 2 of us had the garlic mushrooms which were absolutely delicious. We all had different mains, they were all fantastic, then the 2 girls finished with a lovely dessert, all of this at a reasonable price. The service was excellent

If I could leave no starts I would. They ruined our 1st outing in 4 years with 4 of my residents and 2 carers. I booked a table downstairs due to mobility issues and when we turned up the booking was upstairs. When I told then I had booked downstairs it was like they didn't believe me. I was told your booking is upstairs and that was that. My elderly residents cannot go upstairs. We ended up on two separate tables which ruined our Christmas lunch. I was embarrassed that they were left standing while I had to justify the fact that I booked downstairs and why. The atmosphere was awful because we were on opposite sides of the restaurant. I will not be in The Coast again and will tell anyone who will listen how we were treated. I know it may not affect or bother you but I need to tell people how we were treated.

All 3 courses of food were excellent. Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere, pleasant and attentive staff. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed our first visit to Coast with some dear friends today. Lovely atmosphere, great food, very friendly staff and excellent value. We'll be back. Thank you.

A nice evening meal out with mates. Staff were friendly and prompt. Food was great!

We had a fantastic family get together celebrating my Auntie's 92nd birthday - nothing was too much trouble- thank you 😊

Got a painni very nice. Thought ten pounds was a bit much x

Great food as usual wonderfully staff,very friendly and helpful xx

Excellent food, well prepared and presented, by very capable and pleasant staff. Unrushed and comfortable - we had a very enjoyable evening and will definitely be back again.👍

Absolutely love this bistro. Great food fresh ingredients and great service

Autumn leaves cocktails are to die for and the food is beautiful

Fantastic food and drinks, service top notch and reasonably priced will definitely be back. 10/10

Staff very friendly and food amazing

Food is fantastic, plenty of choice and cooked to perfection and the desserts were delicious! Not forgetting the staff who were brilliant. Highly recommended!

Very good food and service, close proximity of tables leads to difficulty in conversing.

Really nice food and really nice rhubarb bramble by Stevie! Will be back again. Highly recommend!!

We did not have a great meal here. The food was okay, but the service was a bit disappointing. We had three different servers and there was miscommunication about when we ordered (servers kept coming to ask if we had ordered). The waiter spilled wine on one of the guests at our table and brought back a larger glass as a replacement (which we were charged for, despite ordering a smaller glass). Whilst a wine spill happens from time to time and the stain did come out of the clothing, there seemed to have been more miscommunication amongst the staff afterwards. They brought a new Guinness Zero for us as some of the wine spilled into the old one. After about 10 minutes, yet a different waitress came back to say that it had actually been a Guinness and not a Guinness Zero. This is obviously a very big error, especially as this was served to the designated driver. We only received 10% off the meal and we did not stay for the dessert. The restaurant was clean and there was an extensive menu however the music was a bit abrasive and not ambient.

Excellent choice and quality of food served by really friendly and welcoming staff. Prices are good too.

Friendly welcome and good service. Food was great - lovely moules frites which i returned for and the didn’t disappoint. Nice busy atmosphere.

Amazing lunch today at Coast.. The staff are amazingly helpful and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. We had cocktails recommended to us, Malibu sunset, we will definitely be back for more xx

Been to The Coast lots of times over the years it has been open and it has always been ten out of ten the food is fantastic.

Beautiful food. Value for money

The meal was exceptional, very hot (which is good). Extreme care was taken regarding a food allergy, which is great. Dessert was amazing and the service was fabulous. Coast has just made a repeat customer.

Great place to eat tasty food and friendly staff. Reasonably priced. We had the mini roast today which was delicious. We will be back again soon.

Definitely be back the food is outstanding the staff are very friendly and helpful and such a pleasant experience definitely will be recommending

Fantastic food, friendly staff, well looked after.

Had a party of 10 last Sunday 23rd for dinner. Food was good but I was bit surprised when I received the bill. I didn’t realised a service charge of almost £30.00 was automatically added to the bill. Service charge information had not been displayed anywhere.

Had a great time here celebrating my sisters golden wedding, staff were brilliant and very friendly.

Was my first time there cant say one bad word the staff were amazing very friendy food beautiful will definitely be back

Food was brilliant and large portions, hot and fresh. Clean restaurant and staff excellent. Will be back for sure!

Good food, friendly staff reasonable prices

My husband and I had lunch here yesterday, really enjoyed our meal,the staff were very friendly and the service very efficient,will come back.

Excellent in every way...highly recommend Coast.

Great restaurant, fantastic food, nice relaxed atmosphere, brilliant service and all on Mothers Day.

Lovely meal and very pleasant staff

Friendly staff - have been a few times now - nice set up inside. Food was good - a nice place to grab some lunch or dinner, with or without others.

Staff couldnt do enough for you food great and hot.

Great venue for lunch or dinner. I have a number of food intolerances that I made staff aware of in the online booking form and I was amazed that these had be memorised by the staff serving me.

We really like it here - unpretentious, good value, tasty food and really good service. Very welcoming to our baby too

Always enjoy the food here but think they're struggling with staffing at present. Won't put me off dining here. Mussels and prawns are amazing

I highly recommend the surf n turf, absolutely beautiful, steak is juicy, but the prawns steal the show, they taste so fresh and the creamy garlic sauce is delightful, perfectly salted. The sweet potato fries were also lovely, with them being cooked to perfection. 👏!

Found food pricey enough for what it was but it was the simple things done really really well. I loved it and drink prices were decent. Attended Jan 23: basically a cafe charging ridiculous prices for cafe food. Most boring burger I've had in my life and didn't know how to handle large event they were hosting maybe I'm just a grumpy beep but seriously begrudged paying ridiculous prices for sub par food . Tbh would have preferred a McDonald', I think this is the only negative food review I've ever left a restaurant

First visit here, with senior family. Ambience very good on first impression and the girls who served us were polite and efficient. Mains, sliced beef in peppercorn sauce, very good with garlic potatoes. I had the apple and raspberry crumble, which was tasty with ice cream...however, what was on the plate was about £5's worth, not £7.., which won't stop me paying a second visit, but I might try starter and mains next time.

Had lunch yesterday food, atmosphere and service was absolutely outstanding. Totally recommend Coast, just fantastic nothing was a problem will totally be back❤

Great menu with lots of choice, food excellent, staff lovely and the restaurant was lovely and warm and cosy

Loved this place great selection of foods for a late lunch on a Thursday afternoon. 4pm great time to visit

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch at Coast today so just had to review our experience. Our party of 16 were delighted with our food, absolutely first class. Many of the ladies had never visited the restaurant before, what a treat for them. We were all blown away by the quality of the meal and the excellent service. There had been a mixup at some point after booking which was generously resolved so thank you for that. Your staff were amazing!

We had a large booking of 20 people here for our children’s christening celebrations. Clive and the rest of the team couldn’t have been more accommodating. Really family friendly, the food and service were both fantastic, we’ll definitely be back!

We really love this place food is always great and its good value. Staff are so friendly but we wer disgusted at wot happened today...2 southern irish work men in for lunch wearing high vis vests. Older 1 had 2 courses wen fin 2nd course of fish & mash bent down produced a hair and put it into his mash complained and his meal was taken off his bill! The staff wer very visibly upset at this so i told them wot i had seen. I didnt say anything wile these guys wer still there as a situation like that can b very volitile! I hope other restaurants read this and keep an eye out for these kind of ppl. And to the lovely staff in this restaurant keep up the good work u r a credit to the owner and to urselves ur doing a fantastic job and ur food is always delicious. There are some low lifes about!!! Hope ur day improved after that.
