Costera is a neighborhood restaurant and bar at the corner of Prytania and Robert Street in Uptown, co-owned by Chef Brian Burns. The 5,400-square-foot space carries Southern and Mediterranean influence, with local produce and Gulf seafood central to the kitchen's approach.
Reviewers point to paella, tapas, jamón ibérico, boquerones, and scallops cooked la plancha as regular fixtures on the table, alongside a wine and drinks program.
The setting is designed as a casual, elegant neighborhood spot — a place meant for regular visits rather than a single occasion.
