Coasis Restaurant & Bar

The food and drinks here are bomb !!! The service was great by our waitress and assisting waitresses. It was a fun time. We loved the music. We had a great time celebrating my bfs birthday. I didn't give a 5-star rating because it wasn't a perfect visit. I am not sure how long they have been open but some things need to be worked on. This place gets a lot of business, I hope they can work on the parking arrangement. Be aware that it doesn't look like a restaurant from the street. Be prepared to wait if your entire party is not present at the time of seating. I recommend making a reservation and asking to be seated inside if it is hot out. The inside is way prettier than the outside also. The food was served hot i absolutely loved that.

A friend of mine decided to go hear one of our favorite DJs for R&B night (Donnie Luv) and let me just say, we're already planning our next Thursday night out. DJ Donnie Luv had a great set let per usual and even threw in some rap tunes to help build the energy in the room. We went relatively early but it worked out because the restaurant got very packed very quickly. Also, KAYLA is the most lit and outgoing server I've ever had. Her energy was unmatched! She checked on us throughout the night and always had a smile on her face. I'm asking for her every single time.We tried a little bit of everything and I'm so happy we did! None of the food disappointed us and everything was seasoned and cooked fresh. We ordered the catfish nuggets,oysters, lamb chops, macaroni and cheese, steak egg rolls and of course cocktails to sip. They also had hookah specials for $25! I did love that it was a more mature crowd on this particular night. I'll be back very soon!

The positive is that overall the food was decently good. The collard greens were good but they do have a mix to them so if you don't like spicy you might want to reconsider. I was disappointed in the biscuit that people hyped up. The music was really loud so it was hard to maintain a conversation with friends directly across from me(or maybe I'm just old and my ears don't like loud noises ‍‍). But the most disappointing part of this was the experience with the cutlery items. I ordered lamb and was not expecting to be given pre plastic utensils with a napkin in it. For the price point to be what it is, I think it's unacceptable to be served with plastic. The price point doesn't match that. I wouldn't go back but I do wish the business well and I think whoever is reading this should still go because everyone may have a different experience and things could change for the better!

Hey y'all! Now this place made me happy! Just as a reference, a friend and I went on a weekday right when they opened at 4PM; so we got to experience the Happy Hour. Now, I'll be honest, the Happy Hour prices are the "BEST" to me. $2 a wing with a 6 wing minimum is hardly happy hour, but the we ordered them anyways and they were really good. I requested that they cook them well done and they were perfect! We ordered a few others things: the truffle fries, the catfish nuggets, the asian shrimp and the oysters and a few drinks. Those CATFISH NUGGETS need to be what they advertise more because they were SO good! Cooked to perfection, served with some kind of sauce and I got a side of hot sauce and BABY these are it! We ordered (2) orders and an order to go! The Oysters as well made me happy! I'm only a part-time oyster-eater. I don't like them when they're big and in season. So these were perfect and seasoned very well. My friend said they were a little salty to her, but they were great to me! The Asian shrimp weren't my favorite, but I'm also not a big shrimp eater. They were good though. Not to mention the service was fast, but again, we were the only people there for a while.The DRINKS! Yes! The lemon drop was perfect and typically my go-to drink, but I would actually recommend those Margaritas! They were nice and strong. One or two and it's a good time!Being a Tampa native, I'm familiar to the area so I was skeptical until I arrived. They've done a good job to make you forget where you're at LOL. The decor is really fun and nice. We sat outside and it was a beautiful day. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. Now the parking is sort of non-existent so LUCKILY we got there right at open and there were NO cars there. I'd advise carpooling or maybe even Uber because I don't know where else one would park. Lastly, I'm NOT a fan of the 20% automatic gratuity which added like an additional $30 to the tab PLUS tax PLUS tip, but it is what it is. Based on this experience, I WOULD definitely go back.

I decided to check out this spot with a friend for brunch on Saturday. Once I arrived, it took me awhile to find parking due to the location being in a neighborhood and very little parking. The restaurant has an outdoor patio area which is a more quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Inside there was a DJ and people dancing so more of a party atmosphere. The menu had a lot of great options especially if you like seafood. I was excited to try the oysters that I saw on Instagram. The flavor of the oysters was so good. I want to go back to try the Parmesan butter ones. The catfish and grits also had a nice taste but I was still a little hungry and could of used one more piece of fish.The service was good. I was seated immediately then my waitress came over shortly after.They have a lot of drink options. I had a pineapple mimosa but want to try the lemon drop flight next time. Overall this was a cute brunch place but the parking is a challenge.

The food was average. Service was below mediocre. The ambiance was a vibe but I felt as if I was in a night club. The music was soooo loud I could not hear the other people at my table. For the struggle to find parking, I don't feel like the food or experience is worth coming back. I understand they are working out kinks but it was crazy (even with reservations). Do not show up without one! I wanted to enjoy the food but it was just ok. Plus the price of the meals and then you're given plastic utensils and pre packaged syrup...ridiculous. Our waitress was overwhelmed. She was however nice and patient. Our Mac and cheese came out as we were getting our bill so she comped us that so that was nice.

I've been hearing great things about Coasis, and once one of my favorite food critics said it was nice I had to visit. I made a reservation on open table at 11a for brunch. Arrived about 10 minutes prior and I ended to waiting about 15 minutes after my reservation time to be seated because they were just opening the restaurant and the hostess wasn't there yet. Once we were seated, our waitress Princess came over about 10 mins later and took our drink and food orders. It took about 30 minutes for the food to arrive; even with us being the first table to be seated and the second table to order. I had the honey biscuits for an appetizer and the catfish and grits for my entree. My friend had the red velvet waffle with chicken. My entire meal was amazing, seasoned just right, and my catfish wasn't overcooked. The gouda grits were savory. The chicken and waffles were good also! Food prices were reasonable and they do include 18% gratuity.The ambiance inside and outside was so cute, definitely content and picture worthy. The parking isn't the best. There are about 5-10 parking spaces behind the restaurant and street parking. I would say park in the lot across the street but it was very sketchy. Overall, I would definitely visit again. My only hiccup was the long wait times. It was definitely worth the wait.

The ambiance was ok. The music was loud so if you are trying to catch up with old friends this may not be the place for you. The food looked amazing. Lots of options but were a little more expensive than expected. But good otherwise. The downside the parking was horrible having to get patted down by security was a little awkward for a brunch restaurant. Shocked. I was disappointed in the honey butter biscuit because it was too burnt at the bottom. The waitress Addie was so nice a funny she was a vibe we sat outside because it wasn't too hot and the music was still loud. I ordered the hot and honey chicken and waffles and it was so good.

Let's just jump right in and I won't hold you long. The food is delicious. I rarely finish my food but I ate just about everything you see...by myself. So freaking good. I had the cobbler French toast, the catfish, and the gouda mac. Not! So good. Service: my waitress was very friendly and she got everything right. My only concern was the wait. It was a Thursday morning. Hardly anyone else and it took an hour for my food, about 10 minutes for water, and another 10 for my drink. That process needs improvement. Ambiance: this is a cute place. They should paint the entrance door pink or something so that folks know where to enter. I can imagine this place being packed on a weekend. Parking lot is tiny...carpool and/or take Uber.

I went on an evening with friends where it was a slower night. We sat inside The service was good. Everyone enjoyed their food and the drinks. They did not have a few things on the menu so that was a disappointment. It was a one and one for me but if your into the R&B scene I would recommend it. It is certainly a local vibe for Tampa.
