About
East Coast Grill has a pretty straightforward philosophy: wicked fresh, local seafood; slow and low BBQ; and big bold flavors, in a professional yet casual environment. And it seems to be working for them. The casual Inman Square eatery has been bustling since 1985.
Brightly colored walls, whimsical light fixtures and tirelessly friendly staff give dinner and Sunday brunch a relaxed, upbeat vibe. But the lighthearted approach to the dining experience belies the seriousness with which they approach their cooking. Chef-owner Chris Schlesinger is a James Beard Award-winner with eight cookbooks under his belt. His southern upbringing, beach bum days and pyromaniacal tendencies manifest on the menu, which includes plenty of fresh seafood and barbecue.
