Costera

“We ordered the pris fixe menu for Coolinary. Nearly everything was excellent, my favorites being the shishito peppers and the tuna tartare. Nice beer and wine selection. Definitely a special-occasion place for the prices”

“I have eaten all over Spain from Barcelona all the way down the coast Valencia, the Costa del Sol, Andalucia and everything I'm between and was very excited to check out this Spanish inspired restaurant. They started us off with classic tapas like olives, and white beans salad and mixed in with ones slightly different twist like the focaccia toast with anchovy and a pesto like spread,iced roasted mushrooms, a hamachi sashimi style dish and a charred tuna. Charred shishito peppers did an admirable job sitting in for the charred padrones you find all over Spain. We had the family style so we got to try a bit of everything and can I just say for $65 a person it was soooooo much food. The main course after the 7 plates of tapas was a PERFECTLY cooked ribeye that was generously slathered with a chimmichurri sauce, strong enough to provide a slight tartness kick but mild enough to not overwhelm the steak. The redfish dish was equally wonderful but by this time we were already stuffed! Patatas Bravas were also cooked perfectly. 2 very atypical non Spanish desserts came to the table - a slice of key lime pie and chocolate mousse pie. I think I would have preferred a light delicate flan or an arroz con leche or maybe even a fully churro dipped in chocolate to name 3 more traditional Spanish desserts but never mind. I am not a dessert person usually anyway and I'm sure the pies are popular in New Orleans. They were just super heavy at the end of such a large meal. Regardless we all LOVED the restaurant overall. It was comfortable. Service was fabulous. Will def be back.”

“Holy. Crap. THIS is one of, if not THEE best restaurant I have ever been too. I have ate all over the country, cheap food, expensive food, fancy food, dove bar food. This restaurant right here is AMAZING. I will post pics, and I couldn't tell you any of the dish names other than we both got the tasting menu. 5 courses. $65 per person. Absolutely incredible. The wine suggested throughout by the waiter was amazing too. Exquisite descriptions of the food, as well as ingredients. A+ service. A+ atmosphere. Go here. Period. Absolutely incredible and we will be back. See photos!!!!!!!”

“A beautiful neighborhood gem with a cute bar. Cocktails were delicious, the Costera G&T is a must. We tried so many things on the menu and the majority was very good. I'll go back for sure :)”

“We tried the tasting menu, overall a very pleasant experience. Costera has a relaxing and camlful environment, I really like the vibe here. The tasting menu is definitely more than enough for 2 people, and more towards seafood side. The flavor is overall sour and salty, which I’m not a big fan of. My favorite 3 dishes are the fired ball, mushroom and the desert.”
