About COAST

Perched above the Esplanade with open ocean views, COAST pairs Goldie beachfront ease with serious steakhouse craft. Regulars point out the house rule—where you sit dictates what you can order. Grab a terrace seat for sunset drinks, cold oysters, and sliders straight off the sand. Head indoors for date night, where Black Onyx cuts arrive under herbed butter alongside crunchy roast potatoes and wine pairings.

  • Steakhouse Cuts & Pairings: Indoor dining focuses on Black Onyx cuts with herbed butter, fresh oysters, and curated wine pairings.
  • Beachside Happy Hour: Catch afternoon ocean views with half-price daiquiris, fresh oysters, and sliders straight off the beach.
  • Zoned Dining Formats: Seating determines your ordering options, separating full steak dinners indoors from casual bites on the terrace.
