Koast, the new seafood-focused restaurant from the folk behind Kali is a good addition to the area. The place is just across Citrus from Meteora and is quite small but very attractively designed. The scallop cake is an interesting and tasty variation on the traditional crab cake, though will not replace crab cakes in my affections. The grilled prawns were simple but delicious. Just five entrees on the menu when I went (3 seafood, 2 meat), but several interesting starter choices.

I enjoyed my meal there. The prawns were tasty. So was the clam chowder with fries.
Caveat - they use our caviar and do a pretty amazing caviar dish

Same… assuming nothing stood out for you as well? I was actually disappointed because I usually like his food but some dishes were way too salty and others were lackluster, including the desserts. Perhaps I ordered all of the wrong dishes…

what did you order? I went last week and liked it a lot. Not everything was incredible but most things were at least solid/high-quality. I think it’s got a nice potential to be a kind of Providence-lite.
good neighborhood spot was my thought.

I think it’s hard on Melrose if you are not a destination restaurant but I wish them luck!
