Coastal specializes in a tantalizing seafood cuisine that is as diverse as the ocean itself. The menu features an array of mouth-watering options, tackling everything from savory soups to delicious tacos and delectable daws.

For taco enthusiasts, Coastal doesn’t disappoint. Their Lobster Taco is a standout—sweet, tender lobster enveloped in a warm tortilla that practically melts in your mouth. If you're craving something heartier, try the Barbacoa Taco, offering rich flavors that evoke the spirit of Mexico, each bite bursting with juicy, marinated meat.

This was our first time at L&B in person as we had ordered online for pick up previously. Love the layout, the friendly staff- the fact that it just opened so everything is so nice and clean! But also, the food is amazing- the kids love the lobster-mac and cheese, we love the different rolls. I think my favourite is the seafood salad- there is so much seafood in it! We each get a roll and then share the salad. I can't really do spice but the rest of the crew can and loved the tacos. I can't wait to come back again!

Went to try new brunch items. The Breakfast burrito may be the best in the South Bay. The Chicsgo Breakfast Sando is spectacular and the Brioche French Toast shingles so decadent. We then tried the Sonoran dog and Boom! new favorite brunch spot.

What else is there to say, if you're looking for the best lobster roll in one of the chillest restaurants....your search is over! We were immediately welcomed by very generous staff and the owner personally, who seated us right away, and answered all of our questions about the menu. Our rolls came out warm and crispy, and the french fries were piping hot to accompany them. We will be back soon! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent seafood restaurant with a typical SoCal laidback beach vibe! It is close to the pier so parking was a bit hassle. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our group lunch here! I was browsing for restaurant options on Hermosa Beach for our friend gathering and made a reservation in the semi open Listening Room for a party of 15. The staff took great care of us. They not only replied promptly to confirm all details (we asked for TV hookup to watch Olympics), they also provided excellent service and took great care for our lunch. We ordered a few rolls which include the famous Maine roll with lobster, a few plates for chicken wings (lemon/pepper, bbq, buffalo), ceviche, and some burgers. Everything was excellent except for ceviche which I would say probably better off ordering from a Mexican restaurant. But lobster roll was a bomb! I also like their side of sweet potatoes they go with the rolls.

Nice local place good food and drinks at a reasonable price. Great place to watch the games. The staff is very friendly. I had the Barbacoa Quesadilla that was very good. They have a private room for parties of business you can book. Great place to hangout and meet the locals.
