   Every dish was exceptional—the seafood was incredibly fresh, and each plate offered a depth of flavor that highlighted the chef’s skill and creativity. Our host, Jessica, was warm and welcoming, treating us like family and making the entire experience feel personal and memorable.

   Excellent food and new versions of classic dishes. Unusual wine selections one of which suited all the fish dishes.

    Food: Scallop Ceviche: Make sure to add 1 piece of each ingredient into each bite and you will get 4 or 5 perfectly combined flavors. Really good! Grilled Prawns: Best tasting prawns I have had in Los Angeles. Only one other location in San Diego revivals the OH WOW taste level. Make sure to eat the crunchy and creamy prawn head meat as well, this is what sets this dish so far apart from other prawns. Little Gem Salad: Great tasting salad. Nothing crazy special, but really delicious. Hanger Steak: My wife had to get it well done because she's pregnant, and it was still delicious even though it couldn't be cooked to the standard medium rare to medium well. The staff also gave no fuss about making it well done, which is a nice change of pace from other places, where even tho my wife is obviously pregnant, we usually have to have them re-cook steak 1 or 2 times to actually get it well done. Halibut: Perfect combination of flavors with the tomato based soup and each ingredient. Make sure to get each ingredient into each bite! Dessert: Brown butter cake: Perfect! With a little caramel, cream and the insanely buttery cake, every person at the table had the involuntary OH WOW, MMMMHH! Banana Pudding: Perfect! Perfect sweetness, not too heavy, best banana pudding I have had. Ice cream sandwich: Nothing fancy, but delicious. The brownie style thin top and bottom layers, gave a great chocolate level to match the amount of ice cream. We would say Chef Meehan's previous Kali restaurant was better in terms of tastes in each dish, but Kali was also more expensive, and we will be able to go to Koast more often because of it. Check out Koast's entrance when you walk in as well. It's a special artistic, unique, and nature'y addition! Can't wait for Kali or Chef Meehan's new steakhouse to open up after the re-model!
