Cobalt named 'Best Seafood Restaurant' in Alabama

Posted

ORANGE BEACH, Alabama — Cobalt Restaurant in Orange Beach has won the coveted award of being the “Best Seafood Restaurant” in the State of Alabama for 2012, according to Alabama Magazine. The magazine has an annual online contest which allows its readers to vote for their favorite lifestyle items located in the State.

Cobalt Restaurant, located next door to Caribe Resort, is known for its waterfront views and breathtaking sunsets. They have only been open for four years but the reputation as a “Must Visit” location has grown rapidly in Alabama and with out-of-state tourists.

Brian Harsany, owner of Cobalt, stated, “It is such an honor to receive this award considering all the wonderful seafood offered in the State of Alabama.”

When asked about his excitement upon learning of Alabama Magazine’s choice Mr. Harsany added, “Myself and our staff were jubilant. We love pleasing our guests from around the state and the Country. To be recognized for the effort is so humbling.”

The location of Cobalt surely did not hurt in their votes. Located on a sugar white sand peninsula in Orange Beach, Cobalt Restaurant’s deck has has a 180-degree waterfront view of Perdido Bay and Pass.

The patrons are known to watch the yachts and boats entering from the gulf, or catch a glimpse of the sunbathers on Robinson’s Island. Either way, the location is outstanding.

One of the very unique features of the restaurant is the building itself. Built rather like a reverse amphitheater, Cobalt truly offers every seat a water front view. Extremely high glass panes surround the diners allowing the spectacular view to be seen from every location inside.

The restaurant has already won the Wine Spectator Excellence Award three times and is the location of ceremonies for the “Best of the Island” awards each year.

The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Brian Harsany mentioned that their Sunday Brunch is a favorite meal of local residents.

Cobalt is located at 28099 Perdido Beach Blvd. in Orange Beach. (251) 923-5300 or http://www.cobalttherestaurant.net
