We were a party of two dining at 6 on a Friday night. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was pleasant but did not know the menu or the wine list. She did not tell us any specials for the evening, and when asked could not recommend a wine. I ordered the field green salad to start and it was just mediocre. It did not have many of the toppings that were specified, the greens were wilted and it was doused in dressing. The restaurant was about 3/4 empty, yet service was still slow and our main dishes came out cooler in temperature than they probably should have. The $5 side of sauteed vegetables was small, over cooked and over seasoned in garlic. I would not have been so disappointed if the meal had been about 1/3 of the price. In addition when we left, we had to wait about 5 minutes for the host to get our coats from the coat check because he was on the phone with a cab company and ""the phone would not reach into the coat room"" This was my second trip to Coast and both times were disappointing; there are better options in Milwaukee.
