Enjoy Gulf-to-table seafood, over-the-top desserts, and beautifully curated cocktails in Beau Rivage Resort & Casino’s newest restaurant, Coraline’s. The fine dining seafood restaurant, which opened in June and already has a following
of locals and visitors, is quickly becoming a destination for creating coastal culinary memories.
“Diners are enjoying the authentic regional cuisine, best-in-class hospitality, French Quarter-inspired design, and stunning waterfront view that overlooks the Mississippi Sound,” said Beau Rivage President and COO Brandon Dardeau. “We welcome our valued guests, food enthusiasts and local community to Coraline’s.”
THE TEAM
Coraline’s ingredient-driven menu includes all the best in oysters, hot and cold appetizers, soups and salads, sides and extras, steamed seafood, signature entrees and desserts. Coraline’s oyster bar offers a variety of fresh shucked oysters, including New Orleans-style chargrilled, Rockefeller, on the half shell, and fried, as well as Coraline’s signature Lighthouse with crawfish, andouille sausage, tomato and savory velouté sauce; and 875, with blue crab, shrimp, mushrooms, white truffle sauce and scallions.
“The ingredients are at our back door,” said Dedeaux. “I’m from Gulfport — born and raised — and seafood has always been a staple around my family. This team is from the Gulf Coast. We know Gulf fresh seafood and this is an opportunity to share it with visitors that come from all over the country.”
Added Wade, a Pascagoula native, “Coraline’s is an homage to the Gulf of Mexico. Unmistakably Southern, welcoming, and refined, Coraline’s personifies traditional Cajun and Creole-inspired recipes presented with a modern hometown twist.”
Diners are taking note of
all that Coraline’s has to offer. “In the short time we’ve been open, the response has been incredible,” said Coraline’s General Manager Stephanie Scott. “Our guests love having a new dining option and appreciate that Coraline’s opened with a seasoned, service-oriented staff. This team is among the best
on the Gulf Coast. More than
60 percent transferred from
other dining outlets creating more energy and opportunities throughout Beau Rivage’s 13 restaurants and 19 kitchens.”
