La Coquille Restaurant

I've eaten at La Coquille 3 times. The first 2 were verrry good. The third and most recent visit was extraordinary!!! My husband and I typically eat salad or tuna tartar wherever we dine so I feel qualified to rave about these 2 appetizers here. Each bite of salad was a perfect combination of ingredients. No need to ask for dressing on the side as they know how little will emulsify over the greens without leaving a puddle at the bottom of your plate. Tuna tartar "Japanois" has the same quality of perfect balance. The Branzino was the best ever; the flavor and FRESHNESS is something that still lingers with me. Our friends had escargot and artichoke for appetizers and duck, steak, and mushroom ravioli for entrees. We all licked our plate clean; something I'm not proud to share but truth be told, well deserved!!! Looking forward to returning soon!

Great food, service and decor. We enjoyed this place immensely!

Went out for date night and really enjoyed ouselves - great cocktails, professional service and delicious food ...

1. Had a reservation for 8:15, wasn't seated until 8:45; no one offered to sit us at the bar, offer us an appetizer, etc. I had to ask 3x how long it was going to take, and each time the hostess said "You're table is being set up".

2. The service sucks. Waiter was disengaged and SLOW; he actually asked if we were ready to order drinks and food without giving us a menu. After the meal, he didn't give the dessert menu before asking if we wanted dessert. Was I supposed to know what they offer and the specials magically?? Not once was my water refilled, or was I asked if I wanted another drink.

3. Food was decent, nothing spectacular. For the price, I'd rather go to a proper French place in NYC.

My wife and I decided to give this restaurant a try for our 3 year anniversary. We were seated in a small intimate room with a fire place illuminated by candles. The floor was stone, and the ceiling was high and beautiful. We said that this was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. The half chicken was succulent and my taste buds were in heaven. The service was excellent and friendly. We plan to go back soon and try the short ribs and apple tart for dessert.
