Coastal Flats Fairfax

“My mom and I came here for lunch because we were in the area for the Charlie Puth concert at Eaglebank Arena. It was recommended #1 to us by our friends who lived in Fairfax for 25 years. Everything, everyone, and all the food/drinks were incredible! We had so much fun chatting with the staff - you know you're in the right place when the staff are enjoying eachother and their customers. We had the calamari, lobster bisque, chicken salad and bread basket..all DELICIOUS! I haven't found this caliber of calamari on the East Coast! Can't wait to come back again!”

“Coastal flats, for all its reviews and hype, is totally worth it! Landed here on a weekend and even though the restaurant was fairly occupied, we were seated quickly. Reservations are preferred but it depends on the time and day. We decided to start off with the bread basket served with honey butter and crab sliders. Both were great to whet our appetite but the crab slider was truly the winner here. Next, we decided to order the bacon cheeseburger and the lobster roll and again both tasted simply amazing. The lobster roll is truly sinful with its buttered roll, roasted corn, and fries. All in all, this place gets it right with the vibe, decor, service, and food! :)”

“Four of us celebrated our birthdays at Coastal Flats in Fairfax Corner and we had an amazing time. The servers were very nice, accommodating and professional with their excellent service. We were able to bring our own birthday jello cakes! You can tell from the photos we truly had an enjoyable time.”

“This was one of the best seafood restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. Starting with the cleaniness of the place to the excellent customer service which included our server Jimmy, being very attentive. The food was just outstanding. We had everso flavorful Lobster Bisque, fresh deviled eggs, smoked salmon and crispy fish tacos. Each dish was freshly made, flavorful and hot. Even the bread was flavorful and moist. Portion size was just right and the entrees were served with a attractive presentation. Bravo! I highly recommend dining at this restaurant.”

“I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner at Coastal Flats, and everything about the experience was spot on. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which really set the tone for the evening. The food and drinks were excellent — especially the cream of corn crab soup, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was fresh and well prepared, and the cocktails were just as impressive. What truly stood out was the ambiance. The restaurant had the perfect vibe: warm, relaxed, and comfortable. We were able to enjoy our meal and have a real conversation without feeling crowded or overwhelmed by noise — we weren’t right on top of other guests, which made the evening feel intimate and enjoyable. To top it off, we were lucky enough to find parking right near the restaurant, making the whole experience even smoother. Overall, it was a lovely evening with great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I would absolutely return and highly recommend Coastal Flats for a special night out or any occasion.”
