Some Urban Chic - View this location on map  'The sleek airy interior at Coffey's Restaurant & Bar's (828-264-3663), with its funky paintings, is a splash of urban chic in folksy Boone. The chef, John Clark, is a native of Wales and formerly wielded his sauté pan at Terrence Conran's Mezzo restaurant in London, and he changes the menu quarterly. Seafood is always a specialty; you may find pan-seared monkfish over a lobster mushroom and duck confit ragout ($20) or local mountain trout with pesto pearl pasta ($18).''
