Boynton Seashore’s OK&M café crew has expanded into Delray Seashore with Costa by OK&M. The unique Natural Kitchen & Mercantile, only a few blocks from the seashore, is an informal breakfast and lunch spot common with locals for its recent, natural salads, juices and deli. Its sister idea, Costa, takes chef/proprietor Coton Stine’s dedication to farm-to-table fare to an elevated stage with its seasonal menu. Working carefully with native farms and distributors, Stine curates deliciously wholesome dishes that tempt your palate whereas fueling your physique.
The nook house is snug and embraces pure components from its wicker chairs, lanterns and placemats to its greenery and expansive sliding doorways that lead out to Fifth Avenue. Protecting true to its DNA, Costa is open for breakfast day by day and brunch on the weekends along with its lunch and dinner service. The primary a part of the menu, designed to be shared, is split into small starters, salads and boards (suppose cheese, flatbreads and spreads). Most, if not all, the picks appeared fascinating and known as to me, so it was tough to slim down my order. For these with dietary restrictions, the dishes are clearly labeled gluten-free or vegan, which provides a way of ease to the expertise. Entrees and shareable sides embrace quite a lot of choices like steak, pasta, seafood and greens.
I normally choose to dip my bread in olive oil, however I couldn’t get sufficient of the whipped butter (made with avocado oil) that kicked off our dinner. It was adopted by the beets and burrata ($24), a superbly introduced dish highlighting tangy beets resting on pesto that begged to be slathered on each the beets and creamy cheese. The beets had been drizzled with house-made granola and a touch of honey that gave this appetizer layers of taste. I might fortunately eat this day by day. I additionally tried the crab boulet ($24), which had been aesthetically harking back to hush puppies or conch fritters. I may style the recent crabmeat within the evenly fried balls that sat on an gratifying candy corn husk puree. The heritage pork stomach ($22) was small items of the premium pork coated in a turmeric caramel glaze. Every barely seared, tender morsel that I popped into my mouth hit my palate with an addictive steadiness of candy and savory.
I ordered the recent catch, and the hearty potion of a number of yellowtail filets mirrored Latin and Caribbean influences with the savory coconut lemongrass broth and crispy tostones. The grass-fed petite filet was really useful, and for steak lovers it received’t disappoint. The a la carte dishes may be paired with a number of sides just like the asparagus or truffle air fries. The easiest way to sort out the menu subsequent time might be to curate a night of shareable dishes; the number of intriguing small plates and boards would make a enjoyable night of tapas.
