About:DC Coast Restaurant is a re-birth of a classical Beaux-Arts style that has recently surfaced and surprised historians throughout the city. It offers beautiful architectural details in and around which the restaurant is designed. In keeping with what was of the Machine Age, the design approach of the owners Gus DiMillo, David Wizenberg, and Chef Jeff Tunks was to preserve the distinguishing characteristics of architectural styles of this era. As a more futuristic idealism embraces designs of today, the owners were inspired to also bring those decorative details to life.

    The overall decor of this restaurant is pleasing to the eye. I may be lucky too, but I felt that our wait staff was extremely attentive. The food was good, a bit pricey for what it was, but you are in the heart of downtown DC. I subtracted a star because from the time we placed our orders to the time our meal was actually delivered seemed like an eternity. The same thing happened when we placed our dessert order. I think for the prices they charge, the kitchen should be more on the ball. In the end, the wait was worth it because I very much enjoyed the Creme Brulee I had for dessert. I would come back here again.

    Not just for Fish Lovers: My wife and I took a friend who was in from out of town here to eat. We went late, around 9PM, on a Monday night. The friend is a seafood nut. She loved the place. The portions were just right. Guys, the portions really are ok, especially if you get the pork chops.

    The seafood my wife and our friend had was fresh, nothing frozen or smelly here. We asked the waiter 1000 questions and he never blinked. If he did not know the answer he admitted it and said he would find out. He was very patient and informative. We order three appetizers, oysters, lobster bisque gratin, and the stuffed chille. They were great; the ladies were concerned because of the size of the appetizers and thought they might not be able to eat their main course.

    The mood of the room was fine and the place looked nice. Price wise you are looking at $50 a person if you each have a cocktail, appetizer, and a main dish. It was a nice place and I would go back. But there are more restaurants in DC than you can imagine and to eat at only one all the time would be a crime.
