Fine dining Gulf-to-table dinner experience now open
BILOXI, Miss. (March 2025) – Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, MGM Resorts International’s destination resort on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, once again elevates its food and beverage offerings with the addition of a new fine dining seafood restaurant, Coraline’s. The concept features an unforgettable Gulf-to-table waterfront dinner venue set to become a destination for sharing coastal culinary memories with friends and loved ones.
Reservations are available online or by calling 888.750.7111
“Coraline’s Gulf view, French Quarter-inspired design, and locally sourced seafood menu showcases the region’s rich heritage and culture in a setting that excites all the senses,” said Beau Rivage President and COO Brandon Dardeau. “Diners can look forward to best-in-class hospitality and authentic regional cuisine in a stunning venue that overlooks the Mississippi Sound. We welcome our valued guests, food enthusiasts, and local community to experience Coraline’s.”
Coraline’s Gulf seafood menu is a collaboration between Beau Rivage Executive Chef Kristian Wade and Coraline’s
Executive Chef Austin Dedeaux, both Mississippi Gulf Coast natives who have honed their culinary skills with more than three decades of combined experience in award-winning MGM Resorts and Coastal Mississippi restaurants. Biloxi’s prime location on the Gulf of Mexico allows the talented chefs to source an abundance of premier seafood, such as oysters, crab, shrimp, snapper, and redfish, and creatively execute delicious dishes that please the palate.
Chef Wade, whose deep-rooted passion for coastal cuisine is inspired by family traditions, said, “Coraline’s pays homage to the Gulf of Mexico. We are fortunate to have the Gulf in our backyard and enjoy introducing seafood and outstanding regional, seasonal cuisine to our guests. Unmistakably Southern, welcoming, and refined, Coraline’s personifies traditional Cajun and Creole-inspired recipes presented with a modern hometown twist.”
Highlights of Coraline’s ingredient-driven menu include:
Oysters
Coraline’s offers a variety of freshly shucked oysters, including New Orleans Style Chargrilled, Rockefeller, On the Half Shell, Fried, as well as Oysters Rockefeller, Coraline’s signature 875 oysters, with blue crab, shrimp, mushrooms, white truffle sauce and scallions; and Lighthouse oysters topped with crawfish, andouille sausage, tomato and savory velouté sauce.
Cold Appetizers
A variety of cold selections include the West Indies Crab Salad, a Gulf Coast staple made with marinated blue crab, sweet onion, and apple cider vinegar served with crispy flat bread. Tuna Poke Tostado features a fresh take on local tuna with cucumber, avocado, scallion, and furikake, all combined and tossed in a zesty marinade of soy sauce, sesame oil, and a hint of chili.

Hot Appetizers
The hot appetizer section highlights regional-inspired classics with a Beau Rivage twist, including Seafood Stuffed Fried Green Tomatoes stuffed with crab, crawfish, andouille sausage, tomato, and a savory cream sauce.

Soups
Soup options include Beau Rivage’s award-winning Seafood Gumbo, Oyster Bisque, and Turtle Soup, Coraline’s signature version of a New Orleans classic finished with sherry, spinach, lemon, and boiled egg.
Salads
Comprised of romaine and iceberg lettuces, gulf shrimp, hearts of palm, roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and roasted sunflower seeds in a zesty citrus-honey vinaigrette, the hearty Coraline’s Salad is a “must-have” starter. Additional salad offerings include the BLT Wedge Salad and Salt-Roasted Beets with seasonal citrus, goat cheese, and candied Louisiana pecans in a charred green onion vinaigrette.
Signatures
Snapper Coraline is a standout among the main courses, as is Redfish Court-Bouillon, which is slow simmered with holy trinity, blue crab, shrimp, tomatoes, and white rice served with French bread. Gulf fresh seafood abounds with Yellowfin Tuna, Gulf Shrimp, and Golden Shrimp, lightly crusted and fried, served with tempura-style mixed vegetables and a side of creole ranch. Along with straight off-the-boat selections, fresh fish is flown in from the finest purveyors around the country and featured as “fish-of-the-day” specials. Coraline’s extensive menu also offers a variety of non-seafood options, including Sticky Chicken Ballotine and succulent steaks such as Blackened NY Strip, Filet Mignon featuring a New Orleans brown bordelaise, whipped potatoes, and roasted asparagus. The Prime Pork Porterhouse is braised Mississippi-style with caramelized onions and pickled pepperoncini peppers served with sweet potatoes and green beans.

Coraline’s wine list offers premium selections by the glass with more than 300 labels housed in two temperature-controlled wine coolers that seamlessly complement the restaurant’s aesthetic. Crisp White Burgundies like Puligny Montrachet and Chassagne Montrachet pair beautifully with fresh Gulf oysters and signature seafood specialties and emphasis on finesse-forward wines that pair best with Cajun and Creole seafood dishes, like Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
Design
With a design inspired by the New Orleans’ French Quarter, Coraline’s interior features more than a few grand moments. Upon arrival, and behind a beautiful façade of green marble, guests are welcomed through a classic French-inspired, trellis-covered alley adorned with New Orleans’ inspired art, transporting them to an upscale, yet comfortable dining experience. The main dining room features a variety of seating styles while cozy booths along the perimeter are set against a series of grand, arched windows, allowing guests to enjoy the water view.
Coraline’s spacious layout is inspired by nature with the presence of oak furniture and lush plants, beautiful vases and masterfully-crafted artwork. Intricate evergreen foliage and dramatic green marble patterns grace the space from floor to ceiling, including the bar backdrop and table stands, further accentuating the restaurant's charm. Coraline’s rich green color palette, bold checkered marble mosaic flooring, mirrored back bar, oyster show kitchen, main dining room and private dining area transports guests to a sophisticated dining experience and create an epicurean adventure for all to enjoy.
Coraline’s is located adjacent to BetMGM on the south side of the gaming floor. Hours of operation are Sunday, Monday and Thursday from 4:30 p.m.-10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 4:30 p.m.-10:30 p.m.
