Restaurateur John Liu made this list two years ago with his first restaurant, Scarpetta. His sophomore effort, a French seafood bistro, is no less impressive. That's thanks in no small part to his recruitment of Chef Anna Bautista, who enjoys some Michelin cred from her stint at Madera in northern California. What makes Coquille great is its ability to make staid standards of the French canon seem brand new. Much of the menu is gracefully suffused with the flavors of Southeast Asia, like escargots with red curry, lemon grass-ginger butter and kaffir lime leaf or yellowtail tartare marinated in coconut milk and lime juice with cucumber, and apple. And where the menu skews more traditional it stands out with fresh, top quality ingredients and unique presentations.
