“I have been dreading this review for a while now, but things are not improving! Tonight, February 15th, they had a fixed 4 course dinner for $100. I called in advance because I was dining alone at the bar and inquired if I needed reservations. No mention of the $100 menu. Sat at the bar, was ignored by all the staff. First course didn't show up. Second course showed up and I asked where the first one was. They brought it after. The third course, the short rubs, was cold, as was my food the last 3 times we went there. i returned it and version 2 was better. Dessert was a very uneventful creme brulée. This is my third ( possibly 4th time) discretely providing feedback. Getting a comped dessert or small glass of wine. I was really rooting for this restaurant, but it is mismanaged and really needs to get their act. Cocotte no more!“

“GET THE WINDOW SEATS FOR THE SUNSET VIEW!
The view along was worth the $.

We got all small plates and some of the most popular mains. Everything is cooked perfectly. They did not overlook the supporting roles - the green beans in the steak, the croquet cubes in the salad, the pickled apple on top of the scallops… were all very tasty.“
