    I was there for brunch with a buddy who is moving away for work and that I might not see for a long time. We were there for hours but seeing that there were empty tables around, and based on continued, cheerful and appropriately attentive service, didn't feel rushed. I can't remember my server's name but she was fantastic, and had very luscious eye lashes. We even got a complementary plate of delicious mini pastries! I've been several times and I will continue going back.

    If you go to Cocotte be prepare to wait 20 mins to get your water, another 30 to get drinks and finally in 45 mins the waiter will take ur order. They’ll never check on you and your plate will never be taken off the table. Food was good but the terrible service makes this place a 1 star and NEVER GOING BACK! Ruined our night cuz it took them 3hrs to serve us and when they did, the service was mediocre for what you pay

    The Coq au Vin was absolutely delicious — every ingredient complemented the others perfectly, creating an explosion of flavor in every bite. The Beet Salad was a delightful surprise, beautifully presented and offering a well-balanced combination of earthy beets, parsley, and goat cheese. The only downside was the soupe du jour, which was served cold — a bit of a disappointment in an otherwise wonderful meal.

    Such a cute experience the space itself is beautiful. The steak fit was amazing just the right amount of everything and the martini was great. I did enjoy myself and I was able to stay and catch up with a friend without any concerns.

    Place is very nice and food was great. Noise level was super high due to a party at one table and a few other table with larger groups.
