Coi was a dining establishment located in San Francisco, California, which operated from 2006 until its closure in 2022. The restaurant was owned by Daniel Patterson and featured an exclusive nightly tasting menu priced at $250 per guest, emphasizing seafood sourced from the California coastline. In 2017, with Matthew Kirkley serving as executive chef, Coi was awarded three Michelin stars.
Following Kirkley’s departure to prepare for the 2019 Bocuse D’Or, Erik Anderson assumed the role of executive chef in 2018. Nevertheless, by April of that year, Michael Bauer of the San Francisco Chronicle observed a downturn in the restaurant’s quality under Anderson’s leadership, remarking that although the culinary skill was apparent, the dishes did not deliver the vibrancy expected from a four-star venue.
