★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Sarah Francis · Jul 2025

Very disappointed with the service, with the exception of the general manager Matt. He was a ray sunshine in this very underwhelming experience. It started when we approached the hostess stand at dinner, and were told there were no tables because they were booked up with reservations. Lo and behold, we go online and there were reservations available for that very time and multiple others. We’re then told they only have seating outside, though we spied several tables inside. “Reserved” tables I’m sure. Our server was nice, but our appetizers reached our table before our drinks. Our appetizers, the calamari and shrimp, were fine. The shrimp had good flavor but was definitely over cooked- hard and rubbery. I got the stuffed bass and my partner got the NY strip steak. Mine was good, but my par

We stopped here for a late midweek lunch in September...and we had the place to ourselves! The hostess, Barbara, was attentive and amazing, our waiter was lovely...but even though we were the only diners, he was less than attentive when it came to refilling drinks. So much so, that my boyfriend (much to my embarrassment) banged his empty beer mug on the table...NOT COOL...but the waiter did come over, and Barbara checked in on us too. I apologized for my boyfriend's noise...which was louder than he intended...and they over compensated for the rest of the meal...even giving us the second round of drinks on the house (which was a very lovely, and much appreciated gesture!) Our tacos were delicious ( I had mahi mahi, and he had pork)...but the best part of the meal was our appetizer...the cra

Food and service was very good..it is winter and it was Valentine's day. The portions were generous and fresh. We also went for breakfast...the pancakes were huge and very fluffy! Only criticism is the maple syrup; they only had pancake syrup available. Maybe in the summer it will be different

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Frank Bowker · Jun 2025

Our recent experience at Coastal Blue was anything but impressive. The restaurant itself it was pleasant enough. Small but inviting decorated on the more casual side. What you would expect from any seaside restaurant. The menu was limited. Without considering sandwiches there are only eight entrees available. Although we expected that going in as we had looked at the menu prior to our visit. Our server was pleasant and attentive although there was one concern that would be noted. I had been looking forward to ordering the crab stuffed Bass with crab imperial. After ordering our appetizers we then placed our entree order. It was only then that we were told that they were out of the Bass with crab imperial. A tidbit of information that should have been shared when presented with o

Coastal Blue might be one of the best restaurants in the Wildwoods. This was a random find off Google, and wow were we surprised! They have some of the best calamari I’ve ever had, and the bread is deliciously house-made. The sushi is phenomenal, as is the lobster roll, NY strip, salmon, and spaghetti with clams. The bartender is great (with a delightfully heavy hand) and knowledgeable about the scotch that my father-in-law was requesting, the first one to be so on the island for us. Ashley, our server, was a delight and truly made our experience incredible!! Definitely will be returning and recommending!
