"Kevin Meehan, the chef of Michelin-starred Kali has opened Koast, a seafood restaurant on Melrose with his longtime business partner Drew Langley. The menu takes inspiration from East Coast seafood and Japanese techniques, offering crispy scallop cakes, oysters, crudo, and a rotating chowder. The minimalist interior, designed by Cory Surovek of Studio Surovek, features rich blue banquette seating, exposed steel beams, and medium-hued wood tables. Outside, a patio with a roaring fire pit overlooks the street below." - Mona Holmes
