Amalgamating three sites along Oracle Boulevard, kōst is a slick new venue that is envisioned as a contemporary bar and grill concept. From the moment you step foot through the arched doorway, the design-led venue is a smorgasbord for all of your senses. A hint of smokiness lingers in the air as a constant (and very welcome) reminder of the two-metre Mibrasa charcoal grill and oven that churns out perfectly charred flame-licked fare from the kitchen. Ease into your culinary coma by slurping back a couple of freshly shucked oysters or graze on fire-kissed yellowfin tuna from the raw bar. The Over Embers section of the menu is where you will find the bulk of the venue’s signatures, including the show-stopping XL Bay bug, alongside a selection of steaks, woodfired chicken and the heirloom cauliflower with whipped tahini and golden sesame. For those who wish to splurge, there’s a champagne and caviar trolley service available throughout your dining experience, as well as a woodfired lobster, but you have to pre-order that bad boy 24 hours ahead of time. The desserts, we’re told, are also next level. The drinks list was informed by the venue’s coastal location with more than 130 bottles from around the world featured. As for the space itself, kōst features 130 seats across a range of areas, including an additional 50 seats for cocktail drinking in the outdoor pavilion. There’s a private dining room for up to 12 guests, alongside plenty of plush booths to accommodate groups and events.
