Coastal Kitchen was a restaurant on Seattle's Capitol Hill, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1] It closed in late February 2024.

Description

[edit]

Coastal Kitchen was a New American and seafood restaurant[2] with a rotating menu[3][4] on Capitol Hill.[5] According to Sunset magazine, "The regional lunch and dinner menus at this Capitol Hill cafe change[d] often, shifting from foods of Gascony one quarter to Indian or Patagonian cuisine the next, and the eclectic art on the walls change[d] as often as the menu."[6] Thrillist described Coastal Kitchen as a "classic fish house and oyster bar" serving chowder, crab cakes, jambalaya with smoked salmon, and shrimp ceviche.[7] The restaurant was also described as "family-friendly" and "hip".[8][9] Fodor's called Coastal Kitchen "chic yet casual".[10] The menu included albacore and yellowfin tuna, calamari,[11] cod, clams, fish and chips,[12] oysters, pasta with sardines,[13] a smoked salmon scramble, Dungeness crab cake benedict,[14] gingerbread waffles,[15] and huevos rancheros. The Cuban Pete's Shipwreck was described as "a loose interpretation of paella with plump mussels and clams, chorizo and soft sweet peppers".[16] The restaurant also served poutine,[17] spring rolls, fried green tomatoes, and stew.[18]

History

[edit]
Interior, 2022

Jeremy and Tiah Hardy opened Coastal Kitchen in 1993.[19][20]

The restaurant received an approximately $350,000 remodel in 2012,[21][22][23] during which owner Jeremy Hardy closed the restaurant for a month. To commemorate the re-opening the business hosted an inaugural First Shuck and gave away 1,000 oysters at no cost.[24] Seattle Weekly said, "When the dust settled, most noticeable of the changes was a gleaming, marble-topped oyster bar that curves around the open kitchen where the cocktail bar once was."[25]

Zephyr Paquette was head chef as of 2015.[26] Dan and Jonathan Tweten purchased the business in 2016.[27][28] In 2022, a driver ran a vehicle into the front of the restaurant, causing structural damage.[29][30][31] The closed permanently in late February 2024.[32][33]

Reception

[edit]

In Seattle (1998), Bill and W. C. McRae said the restaurant "serves up some of the best food in the neighborhood".[34] In Hidden Washington (2005), Eric Lucas said Coastal Kitchen "has no trouble maintaining a loyal clientele".[35] In 2015, Deborah Wang of NPR called the restaurant "a fixture of Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood for 20 years".[26] Time Out included Coastal Kitchen in a 2015 list of the best breakfast restaurants in the United States.[36]
