The Gallery & Puffin Bar — Restaurant in Coos Bay

Chef Shane blew our minds at first with a taste bud warm up on a charcuterie board that had most of the typical ingredients, but a lot of different variety so there were some good blending of cheeses, meats and sweet / savory sauces. Then had the most buttery scallops I've ever experienced. Beautiful crust sear on outside and then the perfect inside cook of the delicate meat. But then hit me with the Wagyu Beef New York Strip that literally had a mouth feel like cotton candy melting into your taste buds. We also tried a dry aged rib-eye that was quite nice. Dry aging can take some getting used to, but was delicious. All in all a phenomenal...
