About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Great for scenic views
Brought to you by Award Winning Chef Michael Chiarello and located at Pier 5 on the bustling San Francisco Waterfront, Coqueta is inspired by the cuisines of Spain. Chef Chiarello feels that Spain’s signature ‘small plates’ coupled with the social vibrancy of their dining scene is the perfect combination for San Francisco, which has its own deep-rooted history with the country. Focusing on regional dishes from Madrid, Catalonia, the Basque Country and beyond, the menu will feature Chiarello's interpretation of traditional Spanish cuisine and, as has always been his tradition, will highlight the bounty of fresh, local ingredients from land and sea.

Coqueta means “flirt” or “infatuation” in Spanish, and represents Michael Chiarello and his team’s exploration and interpretation of Spanish Cuisine, wine and inspired cocktails, while highlighting the bounty of Northern California.

    Great spot for a date lunch. Catch it on a sunny day and sit next to the building so as to absorb the wind. Food is excellent. Service is great and always smiling.

    Delicious food and excellent service. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, everyone was so nice and helpful. Our server, Alan, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and to make sure we were happy with everything we ate. Everything was delicious! We will be back!

    Food was great. They were very busy and didn’t seem to have enough staff. Half of our food came before our drinks made it. We didn’t receive a couple of the dishes we ordered and would have liked to try.

    I went to Coqueta for the first time a few years ago. I was so impressed that I took my husband there while we were on a business trip in SF. Best drinks, best food and best service . . . I will go there again if we ever travel to SF in the future.

    Food was pretty tasty: we ordered the black paella, fried sea bass, pork shoulder loin, and shrimp tapas. It's the price that is the issue. I understand it's SF on a fairly nice location by the water, but for $75 paella dish, you'd expect some more ingredients than just 5 pieces of shrimps and some scattered pieces of mussels. we asked for extra toast for the tapas (they are pretty tiny toast btw), and they charged $2 for it. That's a bit tacky if you are already charging me $30 for 4 pieces of shrimps. Fried sea bass was done perfectly (not overdone), but again, it's such a small fish, and came with no side dishes. Shoulder loin, same issue (small portion), not side dish. The outdoor seating is way overrated, as you're just sitting facing the streets, and only a few tables have water view. The inside is ok, nothing to brag about. Service was good. Definitely will try something else for the price that they charge. Not many seats with water view....and if you aren't paying for ocean view, then why go here?
