Very very good food. Everything tastes fresh and lives up to the billing. Location is small, quiet, and tucked away near mt tabor.

We went there to celebrate my husband's birthday last Saturday. It was our 2nd visit, and he was the one who wanted to go back. Loved the ambience, cleanliness of this place, but their food wasn't my taste (we got the course menu.) I noticed there was a chip in most of my husband's plates. If I was a chef, I would avoid using those. Also, they didn't give him any special dessert. Cheap. He was also disappointed to hear they were not doing a wine pairing this time.

My partner and I celebrated my birthday here, and we were not let down. We opted out of the prix frixe menu, as those rarely have options for each serving that sound appetizing. So, we ordered a la carte. We started off our meal with some excellent PNW oysters served with a pomegranate gelée and some bread from Ken’s Bakery. For the main course I had black cod on a bed of crispy rice and some vegetable puree. It was excellent and the crispy rice was reminiscent of the crispy topping on a well baked casserole which added nostalgia to the dish. I am unsure if that was intentional, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. My partner ordered the milk braised pork sugo with vesuvio pasta. I only tried a couple of bites but it was also excellent. Very flavorful meal overall, but not too light, filling or rich. Everything seemed well balanced. Of course we ended our meal with the candy tray everyone reviewed so heavily and it didn’t disappoint. We ordered peanut butter toffee truffles, buckwheat linzer cookies, and their famous chocolate chip cookie. The truffle and the buckwheat cookies were very delicious. The chocolate chip cookie had the right flavor profile, but was hard as rocks and therefore texturally unpleasant. I wouldn’t order it again personally, nor call it “famous” in any way. Finally towards the end of the meal we ordered the sticky toffee pudding, which the staff kindly put a candle on for me to blow out. The pudding was incredible 10/10. Overall the service was exemplary, we were met, greeted and treated with respect and kindness. The food was well balanced, beautifully presented and delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself was a tad bare and was very cold, obviously this review is in January, so I’m sure during the summer the temp is a non issue, but being warm, comfortable and ready to eat is a part of the dining experience, so this must be noted. I will certainly be returning for oysters in their marketplace and highly recommend that you give this place a try for any special occasions or adventurous eating.

Very unique menu, with options for a large or small plate on most items - I like that a lot. And the deserts are shockingly good - homemade pies to die for.

Amazing dinner experience. We did family style for 4 of us which gave us the opportunity to try almost everything on the menu. The pork dish was my favorite! And the wine we had was outstanding, especially for the price.

While the food, wine and cocktails are all amazing, the service is exceptional! In a quiet neighborhood, great atmosphere and the best service we ever had after the pandemic. The server, she is always attentive, looking out for us and suggesting wines and cocktails that go well with the food. My partner and I had a great dinner here and Coquine definitely plays an important role making our Portland/Oregon trip memorable.

Wonderful romantic and intimate dining experience. Incredibly attentive and caring staff. Felt old school like taking our coats at the door and folding up our napkins if we stood up to use the restroom.
We ordered the beet salad, pork osso buco and the duck breast. The salad was kindly split into two despite ordering one order which was a lovely unexpected service style. All were magnificent

Portions ridiculously tiny. I mean…COMICALLY tiny. $300 for two and we both left very hungry. Also…not a comfortable seat in the whole house. Basically sitting on folding chairs. Cheap, unflattering track lighting…Portland has so much good food from which to choose. This place is an easy skip.
Last year, while visiting Portland, we heard from a retired chef this was the best restaurant in the area. We tried to go but there was nothing available. For our visit to Portland this year we made reservations well ahead. And are we happy we did! We loved everything about Coquine! We chose the tasting menu. The food is creative and delicious. And the wine pairings perfectly complimented every course. The service was perfect. The sommelier and co-owner, Ksandek was the best host. His knowledge and love of wine has made him a storyteller of each wine he served. We dine out a lot and love great food and wine. The experience at Coquine was fantastic! Very highly recommended!!

I have been in Portland for a minute now and you have to appreciate what it takes to make it as a restaurant. Coquine made it through the pandemic, and came out stronger. The food is phenomenal. If her food was a person, it would be someone you would cuddle up to in a cold winter night and tell secrets to. Somehow after eating, you feel lighter. Tonight was just something else. Shout out to front of the house folks for making this a seamless experience. I wish I could do this again and again

I am leaving two stars and they’re lucky I am not leaving 1…because… I had a $26 service fee attached to my bill for a $120 bill. How about this? Pay your employees a proper wage. This is absolutely ridiculous so I tipped next to nothing because that $26 should go to your employee who served me, and not your establishment. Disgusting behavior. I’ll never be back.
