What People Are Saying About Coastal Kitchen
The Editor

The Scene
Restaurateurs Peter Levy and Jeremy Hardy successfully pack 'em in at their neighborhood places; Coastal Kitchen is no exception. Dressed-up worker bees, funky artisans, cool young professionals--all of Capitol Hill's diverse population is well-represented here.
The Food
The regular fish-oriented menu is supplemented by a separate theme menu, which changes quarterly and draws inspiration from different coastal regions. Be it Brazil, Normandy, Indonesia or Greece, the idea is consistently well-executed. The regular 'blunch' fare includes a wide assortment of omelettes and scrambles, including one made with smoked salmon and cream cheese; regular BLT and hamburger diner fare; and dinner entrees like pecan-encrusted catch of the day, herb-roasted chicken and grilled flatiron steak with a red wine demiglace.

We dined at this establishment tonight due to the fact that it was promoting " A tour of Chile" The pisco sours were good and my wife had a Ceviche Mixto (note to menu person at C.K., it's ceviche not cebiche) that she enjoyed. I ordered the empanada filled with braised pork. In Chile you typically have an empanada de horno which is baked and filled with meat/hard boiled egg/olive and maybe onions, or the empanada de queso, which is filled with cheese and deep-fried. This item was neither. The pastry tasted like it was semi-cooked cornmeal. Not good. Ambience was ok and service was the same.

I frequently eat lunch here during the week. The BLT and the Coastal Burger deliver large portions of high-quality ingredients. Service during the week is fast and professional. The clientele is well-healed. ........................................................................................................... Too many restaurants are under-financed family-run holes-in-the-wall. Coastal Kitchen is the relatively rare example of a professionally-run, well-financed restaurant -- large seating capacity (essential to profitability) & managed for the long term. ....................................................................................................... Personally, I avoid the long lines, poor service and chaos of weekend brunches. Also, I avoid the "featured region" menu, because the quantity & recipe are huge unknowns.

Awful coq au vin- I felt ripped off. I thought the service was good. I didn't bother my server with details, just emailed them. No response. I guess they don't care.

Parking:
Get off 15th Avenue East and look for parking in the residential areas a block to the east or west.
The Extras:
At breakfast, it's worth the minimal extra charge to sub in a huge piece of the cinnamon-laced coffee cake for toast.
What to Drink:
Breakfast brings mimosas and bloody marys; dinner highlights wine according to that month's region.
When to Go:
Weekend brunch is extremely crowded and there is often a long wait. Your best bet for a table is to go early (before 10am) or late (after 1pm).
