Coastal Del Mar - Seafood Grill

A Consistently Excellent Dining Experience Our first visit to Coastal Del Mar for dinner was so impressive that we returned a day after for lunch. The restaurant exceeded expectations both times. On our first visit—a busy Friday night—we didn’t realize reservations were recommended, yet the staff went out of their way to accommodate us without hesitation. The service is consistently warm and attentive, from the greeting at the door to the final course. The food tastes remarkably fresh, and it’s clear the kitchen prioritizes quality ingredients. We also appreciated that the menu includes several gluten-free options, which made dining easy for us. Across our visits, we tried a variety of dishes: the trout, fish and chips, shrimp and avocado plate, caprese and tomato salad, sushi, key lim

As usual, I was out and about visiting a client in Lady Lake. Lo and behold, I discovered this gem in The Villages. It is in a very good location, has wonderful ambience in the dining and bar areas, and the disposition of the staff is very friendly and welcoming. My server, Wesley, was very friendly and accommodating. I never felt ignored, while still having my space to enjoy. The quality of the food was excellent.

Good service and plenty of choice. The Villages isn't a great place for food as the restaurants struggle to recruit and standards are variable. Coastal is one of the better restaurants and we have enjoyed the meals there. On a warm day you can sit outside and hear the bands in the square.

We had a great customer service experience in the late afternoon. We were a party of 3 with Nicki as our server. After dealing with food availability she made an excellent recommendation for me to try. The Bronzini with the asparagus and creamy spinach was amazing. The texture of everything crisp and moist was well matched. Compliments to the chef and to Nicki's amazing customer service.

Coastal Del Mar is a true gem! The restaurant is beautiful and impeccably clean. From the moment we arrived, the host was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Our waitress was fantastic, providing excellent service with a smile. Although we only sampled the alcoholic drinks, they were top-notch and expertly prepared. We can’t wait to return and try the food, but based on our experience so far, Coastal Del Mar easily earns a 5-star rating!
