Comfortable banquets, cozy lighting and rocking chairs in the front - somehow they pulled off a successful porch in the middle of a huge mall. Yet Coastal Flats created a casual, comfortable, intimate and welcoming vibe. I often find these corporate venues either trying too hard to be authentic or just too sterile and cold. Since there was nothing left over I will assume he enjoyed his meal. My husband had the pecan crusted trout - a good meal. I had the ribs - and true to our waiter's description, they fell off the bone. We started with the fritters and basically swallowed them whole. He took things in stride and with good humor. First and foremost - GREAT SERVICE!! Our waiter was very patient and accommodating. However, for what it was, it was pretty good. This restaurant is part of a corporate chain so it's not quite home cooking or a family venue. I am sorry to say, nobody has been so nice to me since that visit. I left a decent tip with a regular good tip plus the cost of the second plate, just in case. She asked if I wanted another one and I asked if it was free. Once a very nice blond girl asked how is your fish, I said: well, I need a magnifying glass to see it! It is small. we might get a card! Servers are very good. Once we get back, we shall be frequent eaters. And my wife is a fan of the mango cocktail, the only place to be found. Last time it was not available, we got a fresh grouper. It is a pity the place does not have a frequent eater card - to get free seconds, since portions are not even regular. We go there most of the time with friends, and they love the place. Next week I am taking my very picky son and wife there. Now that we live in Buenos Aires and there is no decent fish here (fortunately we shall return in June forever) we go there very time we go to DC. ![]() ![]() Big mistake! We wasted our money in other places a few feet away. We used to live in Tysons Corner and never went to this place. ![]()
