Fabulous standout restaurant, off the beaten path. Everything was delicious, don't miss this one!
We enjoyed the ambience and servers. The bread and butter was great, as was the delicata squash but the main we ordered was disappointing.
Our dinner at Coquette was a truly special experience. Definitely on our list of Top 10 meals ever! Creative, fresh, unique, and delicious!
I have a severe allergy and the staff did an excellent job accommodating. Both our server and the manager spoke to me and confirmed the accommodations they made to my meal.
Wonderful meal! We thoroughly enjoyed the cucumbers, carpaccio, cocktails and steak bavette. The staff were very attentive and truly added to the relaxing atmosphere.
The food just wasn't great. We had the tuna starter and the bisque. The tuna was so overwhelmed with the olives, that it had to be scraped off and used sparingly. The bisque was good. We then had the flounder and red snapper. The flounder was drowning in a cream sauce and the greens were so under flavored they just tasted like grass :( the red snapper was also too saucy. Just not enjoyable.
We've adored Coquette in the past, but this time, we found the food a bit disappointing. The salad was delicious, but the steak was so-so, and the tuna was a 4/10. Perhaps this menu was just not for us! Still, the ambience is impeccable (rustic & romantic) and the service was delightful.
Such a charming neighborhood feel! our food was amazing with new and innovative flavors! Will definitely go back! We had a lovely experience sitting at the bar!
We've been to coquette a few times now, and it never fails to impress. Would (and have) recommend.
We had a lovely dinner at Coquette- innovative dishes with an emphasis on seafood and freshness. Delicious smoked pumpkin soup was a highlight!

I have 2 reasons for writing that the restaurant was only a good value. The entrees were very small portions. We shared appetizers and dessert, but only the dessert was large. The apple cobbler that we ordered for dessert was difficult to share, so we should have been offered an extra plate. Additionally, I was disappointed because it was bready and sweet.
Excellent table service, fine cocktails and generous wine pours, all of us enjoyed our entrees, dessert, while passable, seemed to be an afterthought. The noise level in the second floor dining room, however, was unacceptable. All hardwood surfaces with no sound dampening in this older building made conversation at our table for four near impossible. Installing acoustical panels in the ceiling would be a big help. Should we return, we would only want to be seated in the first floor dining room which seemed slightly more civilized. Too bad, because without the cacophonous din, we would have had a nice evening.
The flour dishes we had were just not that special. Everything about Coquette was disappointing, from it being too chilly (and too noisy for a room that was half or two-thirds full) to the wrong dish being brought (it was only 8:30). When we pointed that out, the wrong dish was whisked away but quickly returned with the explanation that they were out of the correct one. To top it off, the dish appeared on the bill, even though we were promised it would not. The prices are way too high for that kind of experience.
Everything was amazing except for their choice of tonic water. It was an inexpensive brand called Q. something like fever tree would've been much better.
Exceptional prompt attentive service. Burrata appetizer, red snapper, gnocchi and apple galette were amazing! Cannot wait to go back.
