This is an extraordinary restaurant, also unique because you can only order a Prix fix Menu. There is a dress code, but we felt it was neither stuffy nor super strict. The food is excellent and the friendly service fantastic without being overbearing. Depending where you sit the views are wonderful. While the food is very good, the mix of sauces and different elements can be a little overwhelming and distracting. But all in all highly recommended!

Just wow. Went here for our anniversary and was absolutely blown away by the service, atmosphere and food. Go for a special occasion. Totally worth it.

Coast features a 3 course fixed price menu with only one option for the main course (small fish portion or about 2 ounces of wagyu when we visited). None of the food was very good but we did enjoy the pumpkin cake desert. Service was ok but adding a 24% mandatory gratuity in addition to a line for tips is an obvious ploy to encourage double tipping. The total cost for our meals and one bottle of wine exceeded $500, a price point where we expected more. The dining area was overly bright and uncomfortably warm.

Coast is in a spectacular inn located in one of the most picturesque towns in Rhode Island. It’s a five course prix fixe menu. We took the waygu beef supplement, portions are tiny but it’s incredibly tender. Overall the meal was excellent.
As a bonus they have a couple of Tesla chargers as well as a J1772 EVSE so this makes the drive from MA much easier.
June 2025: Still spectacular. The Jonah crab, lobster and wagyu were all wonderful.

Spectacular location. Great service & exceptional locally sourced food. $145 prix fixe but you get your money’s worth! Outstanding wine list with many top notch and expensive wines but also a well curated selection of under $100 wines, a pleasant change from many restaurants with food of this quality. I’m not going every week, but I am going back!

If you were to ask me to name my most surprisingly excellent meal in this past year of many memorable meals, I’d easily say COAST. I suspected COAST was going to be good, but I was not expecting it would be among the top 5 dégustations I had in 2017.
COAST is a new fine dining restaurant located inside the iconic Ocean House seaside resort in Rhode Island’s southernmost community — the “old money” summer colony of Watch Hill. Like the community around it, COAST is restrained in its projection of opulence, preferring a quiet and sensible splendor to a louder, self-indulgent ambience. So too would I describe the reticent grace of my waitress, Stephanie, my dependable guide through an unforgettable evening of eating and drinking.
As for the food, my 6-course fall prix fixe menu at COAST featured many great dishes, but the clear highlight was the magnificent Atlantic Monkfish, which was covered with shaved Alba white truffles. Aside from the perfectly-cooked monkfish sauteéd in shallot butter, I consumed a plethora of powerful flavors and contrasting textures off my plate, including crispy pancetta, rich creamy beans, tart red beet sauce, and musky truffles, all perfectly balanced but diverse such that each successive forkful competed with the previous one for the best thing I tasted that day.
I also had two “raw” plates that were equally outstanding. I was delighted by the cleanness and clarity of flavor from the oyster liquor in the East Beach Blonde Oyster, and I was similarly pleased with the Nantucket Bay Scallop ceviche, featuring supple slices of local scallop in a tart golden pool that transformed into a tantalizing “leche de tigre” as I ate it.
My experience at the Chef’s counter allowed me a kitchen-side seat to observe the culinary magicians at COAST work their craft. Since it was not very busy on the Sunday night I attended COAST, I was able to engage with Kyle in the kitchen, a friendly cook who indulged me with excellent explanations as to what was going on, where ingredients were sourced from, local dining scene gossip, and all topics epicurean in general. I loved the enthusiasm that Kyle had for his work — for example, his excitement about the rutabega purée used with the lamb dish (and for good reason — it was dank!) and the process they use to make the ceviche. I had the opportunity to witness the level of care and detail that goes into creating these high-end dishes close-up, from Kyle tilting his pan almost vertically and rapidly butter-basting my monkfish in what he defined for me to be “angry butter” to Chef Backman herself finishing the dish by delicately and precisely placing shaved Italian truffles on it.
As someone who has dined at 6 of the 40 Forbes “5 Star” restaurants in the U.S. this year, I can say affirmatively that COAST absolutely belongs on that exclusive list of the country’s best fine dining enterprises. I look forward to visiting COAST as the seasons turn so I can more fully experience this kitchen’s ever-changing menu.
NOTE: Please be warned that Uber and Lyft rideshares are not widely operated in the Watch Hill area. I ended up getting a very costly cab back to Providence, which COAST’s maître d’ helped me with. You’ll want to pre-arrange transportation out of Watch Hill — and you definitely don’t want to try to drive if you order the wine pairing.

Food and service was fine. Would love to see more vegan friendly options with some protein in the future though! Dinner and breakfast. The dinner I got the quinoa dish and breakfast was the vegetable hash without the eggs.

What can I say, I’ve been to all of NYC finest restaurants and spent $$$$$ on meals , but never have I left feeling like I was being punked. A five course meal that could fit into a handkerchief pocket and that would be fine if it were outstanding (not even close). Kudos to the staff that puts on a straight face while attending your every need . Great food , great ambiance has no price limit, but this felt like paying $1,000 for an old navy-T-shirt.

Chef Adam is the reason we drove more than an hour to eat at COAST. He is a brilliant chef, who uses the finest ingredients to create inventive textures and flavors. Every dish is colorful and a feast for the eyes. The tasting menu and wines are presented with care by the knowledgeable servers. If you are visiting the area or live in southern New England, this restaurant will easily make the top of your list. We will be coming back!

I met two wonderful friends to catch up for dinner. They took me to Coast in Westerly Rhode Island. Their favorite chef in CT had moved to this place. It was a 4 course menu but we enjoyed many add ons and supplements. The quality and care of the food was evident. At the end we got to meet some of his staff and the whole experience was a delight. The skill and knowledge was clear as we progressed through our meal. They gave us a printed copy of the menu at the end to commemorate our meal. Thank you and excellent job to the FOH and BOH teams!
