Dear Coastal Flats

I love you.  I love your delicious seafood which is not the best, but flavorful and warm, like food that you yourself could make, but don’t want to right just now. You are a little expensive, but otherwise the essence of a great comfort food restaurant.  I want to express my deepest gratitude for not abandoning a certain aspect of your restaurant that Sweetwater Tavern, another in the series, has.  Thank you for still having devastatingly adorable waiters and cute hostesses.

I appreciate you bringing back the crab fritters, now with delicious shrimp.  Those were always a highlight of my visit.  Also, you’ve added a lobster mac & cheese!  The cheese sauce is divine, and the lobster made it extra creamy. Your soups are mediocre, Coastal Flats, but I think that is something you can be easily forgiven for.

One beef, though, Coastal Flats.  I love your lobster roll.  Huge amounts of lobster, what seemed like two lobsters, tossed with a light mayonnaise and wedged into a thick Texas toast.  This was the food to make one feel kingly.  This was a worthy endeavor.  This was my Staple Food, the one food I get over and over again at a restaurant.  Where did it go?  I understand that lobster probably goes in and out of season, but if you have large chunks of decadent lobster for mac & cheese, why not spare some for your lobster roll?

Thanks,

 Jo
