At COA, the food speaks first—bold, vibrant, and steeped in the flavors of Spain and Latin America. With every dish, Executive Chef Ezequiel Dominguez invites guests to explore rich culinary traditions reimagined through contemporary techniques. Day-to-day operations are expertly led by Chef de Cuisine Felipe De Santiago, ensuring a consistently elevated dining experience.
While tapas remain at the heart of COA’s approach—encouraging connection, curiosity, and shared experiences—the menu has expanded far beyond small plates. Guests now come not only for datiles rellenos and gambas al ajillo, but also for hand-cut prime steaks, fresh seafood, and thoughtfully crafted entrées. From the Australian bone-in lamb chops to the signature paella mixta, COA offers bold, satisfying options for every appetite.
Patio season is in full swing, inviting guests to dine alfresco at COA—soak up the sun during the day or unwind beneath the stars at night. From a perfect midday escape to a leisurely evening meal, the inviting patio is open all summer long. Lunch is fast, fresh, and flavorful—featuring a tapas menu, salads, entrées, and a ‘choose your own’ combination with a variety of sides.
