IT’S TIME TO PUT THE TIKI IN YOUR DRINKY!
”Chef Martin and Sara Stayer, and beverage director Sarah Troxell — the team behind the acclaimed Nobie’s — have opened tiki-inspired, Toasted Coconut. While some might expect it to be a bar, it is a full-service restaurant with both shareable plates and full-sized entrées to dine on while sipping tropically inspired concoctions. Chef de cuisine Ben Ruiz offers dishes such as Eggplant in Vadouvan curry and marinated cucumber salad which really deliver on both taste and presentation — especially the spicy, crispy eggplant. Those in the mood for full-on dinner fare can enjoy the Whole Fish with Mala sauce (which can easily feed 2 people) and the Baja Style Mussels with guajillo and cilantro.
On the cocktail side, Troxell is debuting brand-new drinks such as the exquisitely boozy Sherry Sells Seashells By The Seashore with reposado tequila, manzanilla sherry, apricot and bitters, and The Seaward with Rhum J.M. blanc, coconut water, lime, mint and falernum.”
