[5] According to Sunset magazine, "The regional lunch and dinner menus at this Capitol Hill cafe change[d] often, shifting from foods of Gascony one quarter to Indian or Patagonian cuisine the next, and the eclectic art on the walls change[d] as often as the menu." [6] Thrillist described Coastal Kitchen as a "classic fish house and oyster bar" serving chowder, crab cakes, jambalaya with smoked salmon, and shrimp ceviche. [7] The restaurant was also described as "family-friendly" and "hip". [8] [9] Fodor's called Coastal Kitchen "chic yet casual".

To commemorate the re-opening the business hosted an inaugural First Shuck and gave away 1,000 oysters at no cost.
