Dining room at Coast Restaurant, Vancouver, canadaWith its kitchen headed by chef Dennis Peckham, an alum of Lumière restaurant, Coast turns out classic seafood dishes with notable flair. From the dramatic entrance with fires burning at either side of the patio to a tower of seafood and shellfish on ice, the striking setting complements the menu. Start with a High Tide cocktail, an inspired libation of fresh cucumber juice, lime cilantro and beaten egg whites, and pair it with flatbread topped with smoked salmon and dill crème fraîche. A must is the Signature Chilled Platter, a showcase of lobster, prawns, Alaska king crab, Dungeness crab, honey mussels, salmon sushi, spicy tuna rolls and shucked oysters with house-made orange-horseradish marmalade and seafood sauce, all dramatically served over dry ice. Main courses include wild Alaska halibut atop a bed of lobster-bacon mashed potatoes --- a seemingly mile-high tower of fresh Nova Scotia lobster crowned with crisp pieces of bacon. Other seafood favorites include raw ahi dotted with jalapeño pepper, wedges of lychee, a sprinkling of cilantro and a splash of sesame oil. For a finale, the dessert sampler is irresistible --- a trio of molten banana coconut cake served in a tiny cast iron pan and drizzled tableside with crème anglaise. Following dessert, check out the O Lounge, a sizzling, sexy, cocktail lounge and the place to see and be seen.
