Coastal Cafe goes to dinner

North end eatery expands hours, menu

The Coastal Cafe (2731 Robie Street, 405-4022), three-peat winner of Best Breakfast in our annual Best of Food Survey, is looking to moonlight with dinners starting this month. Coastal@NIGHT will be serving dinner as a five-course prix fixe menu at $50, with a wine or beer pairing at an additional $20-25. The evening service is provided by mustachioed chef Graeme Ruppel, who is leasing the space from Coastal owner Mark Giffin. The Coastal Cafe’s nocturnal counterpart will be open Thursdays through Sundays, with reservations taken for 6pm and 8pm. Call in advance as the 22-seat space fills up quickly.

UPDATE APRIL 9, 11:40am The information in this story was updated to clarify the fact that Mark Giffin is still in charge at Coastal, and that Graeme Ruppel is no longer with Getaway Meat Mongers at the Seaport Farmers Market (though he still buys product from them). We apologize for the mix-up.
