Thomas Keller Coming to Coral Casino
Controversial Hotelier Ty Warner Lures Renowned Napa Valley Chef to Montecito Coastline
Thomas Keller, who just may be the most renowned American chef alive, is bringing his cuisine to the Coral Casino in Montecito, with plans to re-open the historically private seaside Montecito club by this fall.
The longtime owner of The French Laundry in the Napa Valley as well as founder of Per Se in New York City and The Surf Club in Florida — which together account for seven Michelin stars — Keller will apply his formula to the Coral Casino’s four food and drink concepts, including Tydes, which will be opened to the general public for the first time ever.
“I’m excited to be part of the Coral Casino story,” said Keller in a press release, which explained that the “newly envisioned” menu will be “Continental” and seasonally inspired. ”We look forward to introducing our cuisine to the community and making great memories for them.”
