While a buffet is totally not my style - I have to hand it to Coastal, they do a good job. I get take out lunch from here about once a week and I have to say that the quality is good. The food is always fresh, it is clear that they use nice ingredients. They also do a very good job of refreshing dishes, even if it's not totally empty on the buffet, so what you eat is usually pretty fresh. The soups are always outstanding. They always have chicken noodle and a soup of the day. The chicken noodle is so good, the broth tastes homemade. I've never had a bad soup of the day either.
The ambiance isn't great in the middle of the hotel lobby (is it even a lobby?), but if you are getting it to go, that doesn't matter. All in all, this is a solid place to run and grab a week day lunch with consistent quality.
