Thomas Keller to Oversee Coral Casino Eateries

Earlier this week, Ty Warner announced a new partnership with seven-Michelin star chef and restaurateur Thomas Keller, who has been tapped to oversee all food and beverage operations at the iconic Coral Casino on Channel Drive. 

“I’m excited to be part of the Coral Casino story,” Chef Keller said in a statement. “It’s an honor to be invited to join this legendary California destination with its rich history. We look forward to introducing our cuisine to the community and making great memories for them.”

Chef Keller will elevate dining at the yet-to-be-reopened Coral Casino with a newly envisioned and seasonally inspired Continental menu, adding to the Casino’s reputation as a world-class private club and historical coastal destination. And for the first time, Tydes will open to the public so that everyone may enjoy Chef Keller’s Continental Cuisine menu.

The Coral Casino Operation and Design teams will soon transform the Coral Café, Fins, Tydes restaurant, and La Pacifica to match the brand and inspiration of Chef Keller’s Thomas Keller Restaurant Group. Best known for his flagship Yountville restaurant The French Laundry, New York City’s Per Se, and The Surf Club Restaurant in Surfside, Florida, Chef Keller is excited to create this new chapter in the Coral Casino’s history.
