Called in as a family of six with no booking and were looked after fantastically. Seated upstairs which was lovely and quiet. Service was impeccable and the food was plentiful and great quality. I would definitely return here.

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.)

Friendly, helpful, understanding and engaging team at the Coast. First time lunch visit for 4 adults and one 2year old. We were made to feel comfortable from the second we walked in. The food was of high quality and tasty with good portions for lunch at great price. Highly recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Causeway Sport & Leisure Club ended their St Patrick's Day 2025 walk, with dining at Coast in Holywood. 18 folks, tired, hungry, thirsty and pressed for time to catch a train from one part of Northern Ireland's beautiful coast, back to another part of of our stunning coastline - 'Coast' was spotless, and welcomed us with open arms, a large table in the upstairs lounge to ourselves, accommodating us all together, water jugs placed already, and because we had advised them of our orders in advance, on arrival, service was 'ready-to-go' - from Clive, to his efficient wife Jackie, to all the table staff, our experience was second to none with no unnecessary fussing, each of whom simply couldn't do enough for us, and always with our best interests at the forefront of their collective considerations - effective, efficient, attentive, and supportive, but never obtrusive - this is a fabulous holistic experience, so much better than in other places, on another part of our coastline, where 'it's all about getting the maximum amount of money from a customer, for the minimum amount of product and effort' - other places could and would do well, to learn about customer care, and value for money, from this restaurant! The food - delicious and plentiful, the service - second to none, the atmosphere - relaxing and effective, any small issue - dealt with immediately if not sooner, every dish - mouth-watering, and overall, tremendous value for money! You must check-out this fine restaurant if you haven't done so already, those who know it, know how good it is, those who don't, ... well they don't know what they are missing! Hopefully some of my colleagues will post a nice picture of our experience! We will visit again - Mervyn, for Causeway Sport & Leisure Club, Coleraine.

Had a great meal in Coast, really good choice of dishes on offer. I ordered a vegetarian dish, Roasted vegetable tart, best vegetarian meal I have had, so tasty and packed with seasonal vegetables.
