Dinner Club

See All Lists
The thing that inspired the amount of yelping I do! Rule #1 - dinner club is not about the price - we order whatever we want, no worries. Rule #2 - it has to be somewhere where none of us have been before. Rule #3 - if we want to drink our faces off, so be it.

Delicious! The food is great (how can you go wrong with cheese, meat and wine?). Definitely splurge for the wine flight that pairs with the tasting plates - it's a perfect amount of wine.

I really like the atmosphere of the place as it's fun enough…More »

Went to Grub with my girlfriends last month and had a great time and a great meal.

We started off with the commy punch which was boozier than I thought it would be (which is good since most places water down their cocktails).  Our server was…More »

Our monthly dinner club is reunited and it feels so good! And what a PHENOMENAL night at Coast we had. The ambiance is buzzing and the decor is beautiful - lots of teals and blues. The raw bar sits in the middle and it quite a spectacle.

January Dinner Club brought us here because one of my friend's raved about Montri's. It was good -   for some reason we ended up ordering what seemed to be a lot of deep fried food. The good news is that everything was hot and the dipping sauces were…More »

The food is worth five stars the service is not. Our waitress was nice enough I guess, but she was complacent and didn't seem to make much of an effort with us. That said, the food made up for the disappointing service.

We started with the calamari…More »
