Food was ok at best.Service was ok. I think we were forgotten outside.Risotto was gummy and under seasoned. Disappointed, not sure I need to return.
Gorgeous little locally owned Seafood restaurant. A little upscale. The staff were amazing. Everyone was friendly with a big smile. The scenery was nice with natural colors and saltwater decor. The food was priced very reasonably. The portion sizes were much smaller than comparable restaurants, but the prices reflected the difference. The drinks were well prepared and suggested by the staff. The crab stuffed shrimp was good, but it tasted almost commercialized, and the alfredo sauce didn't pair well with it, in my opinion. The fried rice was a bit too lemony for our liking. The asparagus and creamed spinach were cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a nice dinner but not sure I'd recommend it as the best place around.

Three of us went to Coastal Del Mar for late afternoon drinks and early dinner. We sat on the patio by the bar. We sat for about 10 minutes before our server 'Junior' cam to the table. Junior was very nice but we would soon find out that he was not a great server. We asked about the happy hour and what drinks were on HH. He told us it was wine and well drinks only. My wife and sister in law ask what flavor vodka's they had. We got a funny look and then he said 'we just have plain vodka, no flavors'. I ordered a Tito's martini which tasted pretty bad, turns out he put in a HH (well) martini. My sister in laws drink was so bad, she almost spit it on the floor. It took about 20 minutes before we could get juniors attention (before he ever came back outside) to get a new drink. This time she just order a white wine. When that did not come out after 10 minutes (I started a stopwatch on my phone) we got the manager, Elkin Natera. We told him about how bad everything was. After talking to Junior he came back to let us know that Junior's head was not in the right place today and he was sending him home. My sister in law was upset, she did not want him fired. The manager assured us he was not, just being sent home today. Well, now that the general manager was involved, it DID NOT get any better. Service was still awful and super slow. Tables around us had a young lady server and she was on top of it. Customers would sit at one of her tables and they had ice water and hot rolls with butter in about a minute. Took us about 10 minutes for water and 20 minutes for rolls.The manager told us he was going to give a a dessert on him for our troubles. Junior came to the tables and said "do you want your ticket?". Did not ask, never asked how the food was, did we want anything else. We were never asked if we wanted a second drink. The manager gave me his card and said "when you come back, ask to be in my VIP section so you get better service. After we left and walked around for a while, we walked past the restaurant while going to the car. We saw Junior was still working. This tells me that Elkin was feeding us a line of bull.... and did not care about us at all. We left very disgusted with the whole place and situation. Elkin had the opportunity to correct the situation on the spot, he did not. Something tells me there is no VIP section and we will most likely never find out because we will most likely never go back. Hopefully Coastal Del Mar will have a new general manager soon so the place can be better.I would highly recommend this place if you LOVE slow crappy service.

Service was prompt and friendly. Everyone enjoyed their meal... We had a great time. Definitely coming back.
We had dinner here last night 2.2.24 and everything was delicious!! The calamari was not the typical type because although fried, it is tossed it seems in a delicious sauce with banana peppers on it, but wow… very tasty.The fresh catch of the day was Corvina, I chose lemon butter sauce and it was cooked perfectly. The fish and chips were so good too. We asked for a side of Risotto that was pretty good.The restaurant was packed; we had reservations and were seated timely.Our server Rachel, was very attentive and did great. We can’t wait to eat here again as it’s 25 minutes from our home in Ocala.
We're coming back to this one, for sure!
