Restaurant Cochineal offers a pleasant outdoor dining experience with friendly service that has received praise for being accommodating and attentive. The cuisine is generally good, featuring standout dishes like good bread, flavorful meat, and interesting baked artichokes. The bison short rib with pecan mole and seared pear has been highlighted as an incredible dish, alongside the recommended red Pinot noir. The restaurant provides a creative and delicious food menu, and the Chef's menu with wine pairing remains a worthwhile splurge. The waitstaff has good knowledge of the food, although their wine knowledge is limited.
The indoor dining area has a nice atmosphere, but the close table spacing can detract from the experience. The menu items are generally tasty, though some dishes, such as the mushroom risotto and trout, may be overly salted. The charcuterie and bread are recommended options. For a more enjoyable dining experience, sitting on the patio is suggested.
The restaurant continues to receive positive reviews for its outstanding food and engaging staff, providing a pleasant dining experience even when accommodating late-night guests. While service may be slow at times, the overall experience is highly recommended, especially for the steak, bread service, and German-style salad. Diners should be aware of the 20% service fee included in the bill, which may not be immediately apparent.
