What kind of food Does Coast 236 serve?
This has been a tough question to answer, but the simple answer is this: Our fare is coastal-inspired and approachable.
What does that mean exactly? Please read on…
A coast — depending on where you live or where you have visited — means different things to different people. It might mean great Italian food from Amalfi or mussels from Normandy. It could mean amazing Mediterranean dishes from Mallorca off-Spain, or the Greek island, Mykonos. However, it also may mean farm-raised comfort food from the Coast of Michigan or fresh selections from Newport, Maui, or Miami.
Think about your experiences, both culinary and generally … no matter the geography, there is a relaxation in the familiarity of a coastline. Any coastline, even a new one experienced. Where water and land meet, comfort and connection can be found in both.
That’s a long-winded way of saying THAT is the inspiration for our restaurant. We want a relaxed atmosphere that you feel comfortable in. We source fresh ingredients from both water and land. We create approachable dishes with interesting twists, and we will have an uncomplicated, yet changing menu that we hope brings you back again and again.
Want to talk more specifics? We serve seafood, steaks, pork chops, pasta, some vegetarian and vegan options, along with a unique selection of salads and sides. We offer great appetizers and several charcuterie boards too! Our desserts are fun, homemade, and different than other places in town. All of them have a story, as do many of the items on the dinner menu and the cocktail list.

Is Coast 236 open Only for dinner?
During our summer hours (June through October) we serve summer brunch on Saturdays & Sundays from 10am to 2pm.
Why didn’t you keep the Hercules name?
It wasn’t an option; the previous owners didn’t want the name to continue on without them (which is totally understandable).
Did any of the hercules staff stay on?
Yes! We are really fortunate that all of them (besides Skip and John, who have earned their retirements) have decided to stay on with Coast 236. They were very patient through the remodel!
Do you have the same wine list?
We're very excited about our selection, and we think you will be too! When we first opened, we had a selection that included familiar wines served at Hercules, but we have been adding and editing our wine list offerings that pair with the Coast 236 menus and that excites wine fans. We offer a selection of wines priced both by the glass and by the bottle.
What about beers and cocktails?
We offer several beers and ciders both from local breweries and outside of Michigan. Additionally, we are very excited about our bartender and and our craft cocktail list — it's delicious! If you have thoughts or opinions on your favorite libations, please let us know in the form below!
