Julien Perry for the Seattle Weekly's Voracious talks with us about our new restaurant opening any day here.
"What exactly will be on the menu at The Coterie Room?
Tough: The food and the restaurant itself is very much inspired by a French brasserie, but it's a New American version of that. So, you're going to see an array of small plates that can be shared, but they're classic American as well as French-inspired. Like, the poutine is our version of poutine with smoked pork shoulder gravy and fried Beecher's cheese curds. There's some decadent dishes on the menu as well as some light fare, like the marinated beets, heirloom carrots, endive salad and some fresh seafood items. All around delicious food that we keep saying is naked, stripped down to just quality of ingredients and execution.
Wait. I see on the menu you can buy the kitchen crew a six-pack of beer for $10. Really?
Tough: That's kind of our way of saying, "Would you like to tip the kitchen?" So, whether or not the $10 goes towards a six-pack of beer or not, it gives them a little something to go get a nightcap after they get off work.
What kind of beer?
Tough: Rainier, probably. That's what we like!"
