I am a serious foodie! I care about the food that I serve my family. I want them to enjoy good, healthy options. I want mealtime to be family time. I try to teach them how to cook, eat out, make the right food choices, eat slower and and live a healthy lifestyle. My ten year old son wanted to started a blog and that is where this journey began. Here is " our family food blog"

We hope you will enjoy and share your comments with us.

Fish friday at Coastal Flats

Last night my parents and sister and I spent our dinner at Coastal Flats in the Tysons mall.            
We chose Coastal Flats because my parents wanted fish as it is Lent and it was recommended by our friend Laura who loves it.

When we got there the whole bar was full and there was a 20 minute wait.  There was one more table  available in the back corner of the bar so we took it. We were welcomed by a waiter who
was funny, very happy and willing to help. She ask us what we wanted to drink and she fed us to some nice hot bread with a honey butter that was delicious. We found the service to be the best in tysons yet.

We all ordered what we thought we would likeon the menu. My mom ordered the medeteranian shrimp with couscous. She stated it was really good bar food.  My dad ordered the thai chicken salad
which he thought was quite good but had a bit too much garlic. My sister had a beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes. She thought the mashed potatoes were like pieces of cotton candy melting on her tongue, and the steak was as tasty and chew as gum. I had a cheeseburger that was phenomenal. It was served with french fries that tasted like they were direct from Brussels. The portions were all perfectly sized and delicious. When the entrees came to the table they were steaming and all the food looked very fresh.

The overall experience was very good.  Service was excellent, the food was good and for a chain, it was well worth it.  It was kid friendly and the prices were right.  You should try it soon!
