Seafood restaurant · Hollywood

@eater

"The team behind Michelin-starred Kali just opened Koast, a casual seafood spot along Melrose Avenue. At Koast, chef Kevin Meehan and Drew Langley continue their longtime partnership with their first new restaurant in nine years, offering East Coast classics like chowder and fries tossed in Old Bay alongside a dry-aged cheeseburger, Morro Bay oysters, and sea bream sashimi with ponzu. At Koast, Meehan hopes to offer a casual weeknight spot for neighbors to come in for a glass of wine and some clams or go all out with caviar and Champagne. The main dining room leans into minimalism, with rich blue banquettes balanced by medium-hued wood tables and concrete floors. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes
