Local restaurateur Sascha Bennemann and his wife, Danielle, have opened a new restaurant on Worth Avenue. Costa Palm Beach is on the second floor of the Esplanade at 150 Worth Ave. and is light and bright with fine art photography on the walls, and a seasonal menu.

Executive Chef David Valencia is behind the dishes that include charred Spanish octopus and Greek and Turkish mezze platters. Seafood is highlighted, too, as are chicken dishes cooked in tagines. Food cooked in tagines is aromatic and great eating, in my experience! Something about the spices and the slow cooking…
There are plans to offer lunch and brunch in the future, but for now, enjoy the cocktail and wine lists along with your salt-baked branzino.
