Dining

Food creates a connection among people and with places, an appreciation for what is familiar and new.

From every table, the ocean is a constant reminder that there is always more to experience.

A Connection to the Land & Culture

For Puerto Rico’s indigenous Taino people, the coa was the tool that allowed them to harvest the land. In reverence to this history, ingredients at COA restaurant are sourced seasonally and from local farms and purveyors, and signature dishes carry the flavor of Mi Brasa, a traditional, Spanish wood-burning oven.
