Coconuts Caribbean Restaurant & Bar

Jerk chicken, curried goat and oxtail bring island flavors to Silicon Valley in a lively full-bar setting.

Coconuts serves Caribbean and West Indian food in Palo Alto. Jerk wings come with habanero blue cheese and chili dipping sauce, codfish fritters with lemon tartar sauce, and coconut shrimp with mango dip. Larger plates include jerk salmon with slow-cooked eggplant, yucca cake, and brown stew sauce, and tender oxtail with rice and beans and fried plantains. The bar mixes cocktails with fine liquors, fresh fruit, and house-made infusions, and the large dining room and patio host live music.
