Cobalt the Restaurant

Cobalt is easy to find because it sits under the Perdido Pass bridge at 28099 Perdido Beach Boulevard in Orange Beach, next to the Caribe Resort. Walls of windows face the bay and the pass, so boats drift past while you eat, and the room mixes contemporary coastal polish with a relaxed island feel.

Three kitchens, one menu

The restaurant organizes its cooking around three kitchens, which lets it cover seafood, steaks and pizza without feeling scattered. Prices run from roughly $6 to $35, so an appetizer-and-drinks visit and a full dinner are both realistic. Local Gulf seafood is the star: the menu has included Pecan Fried Catfish and Gulf Shrimp and Grits, and specials like Firecracker shrimp, a tuna and avocado stack and crab claws appear regularly.

Homemade desserts include Creole cheesecake, bread pudding and a fried apple pie, which suits the Gulf Coast habit of finishing dinner with something sweet and a little indulgent.

Wine, cocktails and Sunday brunch

Cobalt has been recognized with a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and a craft cocktail list sits beside the wine. Sunday brunch runs from 11 AM to 2 PM, a good choice for a lazy morning after a beach day. A children's menu and casual dress code keep it comfortable for families.
