Thursday afternoon happy hour at Coquille is where you need to be! There are guest presenters each week featuring Ocean Wise seafood and teaching you a little something about their unique fares. We’ve been to two already, and slurped some oysters from Fanny Bay Oysters and and spot prawns from Organic Oceans,, and we’re heading to West vs East Coast Oysters today featuring our friends from Sea Star Winery at 4 pm! We’ve also been recently for dinner and sampled through a variety of menu items, all very well executed. The service here is very attentive and we loved the non-alcoholic cocktails as one can’t always have wine, but the wine and cocktail list will impress those who are imbibing!

General Manager, Liam Todd spoke about the new Seafood Sessions program, saying “It’s our way of bringing together and engaging all of our stakeholders; from our restaurant guests, to our kitchen and service teams to our invaluable local suppliers.  It gives us the chance to share the stories behind what’s on our menu.”

Happy Hour Oysters at Coquille

Every Thursday will have a different focus and flavour based on the product and the personality of the invited guest or the product being featured with the aim of providing a fun and informal experience to unwind after work or before dinner. The Seafood Sessions calendar will continually be updated on the events page of the Coquille website.
