To be clear, I didn’t go vegan by choice. The manager offered to rinse the butter off some noodles but my system is just bad with dairy. Kinda wish they weren’t pre-made because I remember how good they were and I wanted them. Apparently they don’t have olive oil, they use butter or eggs on or in absolutely everything, even the rolls which a couple reviews for a different coastal flats said were vegan. The manager was super nice and I appreciate that he didn’t lie or try to push something out that would’ve gotten me sick. She never refilled my drink the entire time or looked at me after that point and she made it really awkward by specifically avoiding eye contact and not talking to me. But she wouldn’t look me in the eye or ask me anymore questions after I asked initially. Her demeanor changed immediately as if I was obnoxious for asking. I would be giving five stars anyway if the waitress hadn’t started treating me like a freak after asking if there were vegan options. Half of the restaurants next to this one have a vegan menu. In this area, and specifically this center every restaurant, even Burger Shack has at least two or three decent vegan options. My wife loved her dinner, the salmon which she said was excellent, as I remember it. Next time we will just skip coastal and go straight to Ozzie’s!, FYI, when we passed coastal to go to our vehicle there were still patrons on the patio and at the bar.

The Ozzie’s bartender Rachel was fantastic, she set us up and even brought our dog a bowl of water. The patio was more than half full of patrons but we left humiliated and went to Ozzie’s.

We said he was but then the manager proceeded to tell us that the bar was closing and they would not serve us. The dog was sitting quietly under the table and has a service vest on.

Then a manager comes out and asks us if our dog is a service dog. The bartender went inside and there seemed to be a discussion about us. Once we sat down the bartender came over and informed us that the bar was closing but maybe a server could accommodate us, we said that was fine.we understood. We requested a seat on the patio and she asked if a hight top was ok…we said it was. We (3 adults and a service dog) stopped by to have dinner at 2048 and the hostess seated us.
