The Coal House Bistro

We had a fantastic experience at the Coal House Bistro from the moment we entered the door. From Frank seating us to the exceptional staff and delicious food prepared by Chef Jimmy Vena, everything was top-notch. The food was a perfect 10.

This restaurant is a fantastic choice for locals. The food quality is outstanding!

The food is fantastic and the servers are friendly. The only downside is that they could use more parking.

This used to be my go-to when frequenting the shore, but when I ordered carry out tonight I was really disappointed. I always ordered the eggplant panini with a big house salad, this time I also got the bruschetta appetizer. The bruschetta was incredibly fresh tasting, as was the salad, as always—but I couldn’t even bite through the panini. The bread was very awkward, as if they took three very end slices of stale bread and stacked them on top of each other, just sloppy. The bread was impossible to eat through, even the toasts that came with the bruschetta. I was not impressed at all and regret spending money on it. Hard times are upon us and if I’m taking some of my money to enjoy a meal out, I expect it to at least be fully edible.

Extremely rude service .... 10 open tables outside and hostess refused to seat us.
