COCO WOOD GRILL – Restaurant

Modern American cooking a few minutes off the sand on Gulf Boulevard, run by a husband, wife and son who took over a former restaurant and gave it a quietly nautical refit. The kitchen leans gastro-classic: a flat iron surf and turf finished with Argentinian chimichurri, a tuna stack layered with avocado and mango salsa, Thai buffalo shrimp on gorgonzola, a caprese flatbread, a Philly filet tip baguette. A twenty-dollar sunset menu runs daily from four to five-thirty, with haddock fish and chips, crab-stuffed shrimp and house spinach ricotta ravioli. Reservations are recommended. Locals and visitors alike fill the room.
