We are honored to share that Coast 236 has been awarded the 2026 Smart Catch Seal by Where Food Comes From—a distinction that reflects a principled commitment to sustainability and ingredient integrity. With 98.81% of our oceanic products verified as sustainable and Smart Catch approved, this recognition speaks to a disciplined approach to sourcing, seasonality, and execution—where each ingredient is treated with intention and respect.
At the helm is Chef Rick Bower, who also serves on the Advisory Committee for the Smart Catch initiative. His philosophy is rooted in honoring the integrity of each ingredient, allowing it to guide technique, composition, and expression on the plate.
This ethos is reflected across both our tasting menu and à la carte offerings—two distinct formats, unified by a singular standard: to present cuisine with clarity, balance, and an unwavering respect for the ingredients we serve.
