Review #8 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012
I really like that the Coup has Meet. It's often so busy for dinner there is an hour wait. So instead of waiting outside in the cold you can go beside to Meet and get a drink and appetizers while you wait.
Often times we get seated just after we finish our appetizer so it's perfect. They have several different menu items on their appetizer menu than in the restaurant so not everything is the same.
We tried The Road Trip which is a large sampler platter of olives, eggplant sleeping bags (served cold), sunflower carrot seaweed pate, zatar humus, cucumbers and corn chips. It's quite enough for 2-4 people to share.
The appetizers are also really gluten free friendly and vegan friendly. They have changed the menu since I visited a few years ago, and I like it much better now.
For a small appetizer I recommend the yam fries. I do wish the miso gravy was a bit thinner like a gravy instead of a thick hummus like dip. It's also a little pricy at $2 a dip.
