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.

    Amazing lunch experience at Coqueta. We followed the guidance of our waiter, Antonio M. Loved the Deviled Eggs, Salmon Ahumado (smoked salmon) and the Pulpo a la Parilla (grilled octopus with potatoes). And the cheesecake, Tarte de Queso Manchego. The service was spot on and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Cannot wait to return.

    We have been meaning to try Coqueta for a while and I am sorry we waited so long. we were with a group which meant we could try more dishes. The food was delicious. We were especially fond of mushroom dish, the Catalan style vegetables (which was broccolini) and the albondigas. Our server Nikolas was very helpful in terms of getting us the right amount of food. We will be back

    Drinks are absolutely delicious. The host was a little offensive and our server was amazing so he made up for her rude comment.

    I made reservations for 1pm lunch, might of been a few minutes late. The hostess had a sour face and was not a warm greeting. We sit down, all of the servers were nice, professional and friendly. We ordered our food, I had a cocktail with his icus and mezcal and vanilla air which was very good and my fellow patron had the sitter smash which she said was very good. We ordered the goat filled dates, mushroom with ham, salmon ( mine in cucumber since I'm gf) all very good. Most of the food was delicious and all beautifully presented. We then went into hot tapas and got patatas bravas which was a nice take on the dish, tiny colorful potatoes salt roasted until the skin was crisp and served with the traditional delicious red sauce that's lightly spicy, smokey and creamy. Gambas come with the head on, they were perfectly cooked. A little heavy on the saffron for me but very good none the less. My friend for the croquetas con hamon and she mmm and ahhed while eating it. The octopus was beautiful band flavorful bit I like it to be crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. It was okay tender and stretchy skin on the outside which I didn't like. Overall great food and everyone but the hostess made for an enjoyable experience.

    We had an exceptional experience at COQUETA today. We were the first customers on Sunday, and our server Antonio was beyond amazing and attentive the entire time! He let us sample both the white and red sangria so we could decide which one to choose, and he turned the music down for my daughter because she was super sensitive to loud music. He even let us order fries from the staff lunch for her because she was a super picky eater. Honestly, Antonio made our days better and our hearts warmer for all his kindness and thoughtfulness. The food was worthy of the praise as well. We ordered many things on the menu, and quite a few things stood out. 1) We had the seafood paella, it only took 20 minutes for the kitchen to prepare it today. The seafood was fresh and tasty, and the rice was cooked just right! 2) salmon ahumado was done perfectly! The smoked salmon with a nice citrusy glaze on top of queso fresco bagel was a perfect juxtaposition of sweet/savory and soft/crunchy. Loved it! 3) the sangria (red) was really yummy! It was fruity and easy to drink. 4) the churros was really wonderful! Crunchy and soft and drizzled in chocolate. Even my picky daughter liked it. Overall, we had a great time at COQUETA. Both our hearts and tummies were happy. Thank you for a wonderful experience COQUETA! We will definitely come back!

    We ordered 3 apps to share- after the food was served we never saw our waiter again. I finally got up and found him. He said the kitchen was closing so we couldn’t order more food. At 8:15 we left . We had a 7:30 reservation.
