We went to Coasters Seafood Grill last evening, I had called for a reservation which was a good thing as they were very busy. We arrived early because we were lucky enough to get a parking place quickly. No problem with arriving early and were seated at a lovely window table. We shared the mussels to start, they were very fresh and fantastic, next time I will not share!! I had the broiled stuffed shrimp, great flavour and lots of them on the plate. My husband had a 10 oz steak which was cooked to his taste, must have been good because his plate was cleared. We declined dessert as we were meeting friends elsewhere but next time we will try the desserts. We will definately be back. Overall great food and great service, can't ask for anything more.

Stopped in for lunch yesterday to finally try the all you can eat muscles which are available in white wine or creole sauce.

The muscles were OK - nothing to write home about.
Didn't taste very fresh or spectacular.
For $2 you can have all you can eat french fries, I thought why not and ordered some.. a big plate of unappealing looking french fries with a side of mayo was placed on the table.
My guess was right they were awful french fries.
I ate two of the fries and didn't have anymore.
Don't order the fries.
I really wanted a side of something, then I ordered the garlic mashed potatoes.
The potatoes were good but had no garlic on them.
I thought she said garlic mashed?
The bread was very fresh and tasty though.
Probably the best part of the whole meal I'd say was the bread.

I see why the place was completly empty.

None of it was really outstanding.
I won't return.
