| - Having lived in various places and dined all over the world, this restaurant, the staff, the creative cocktails and the food were absolutely amazing. We were greeted by Jeffrey with celebratory glasses of champagne (Vueve) in honor of our anniversary. Jeffrey was warm, engaging and professional. Rose our waitress was friendly, intelligent, knowledgeable, efficient, prompt and thorough. My husband has very specific instructions for his martinis and rarely in a restaurant are they prepared to his liking but the bartender created my husband's perfect cocktail. I ordered the Martini de France created with Goose, St. Germain & grapefruit and it was a delicious libation for a summer evening. The bartender stopped by our table to make sure our drinks were to our liking and that our dining experience was going well. In terms of staff, even the young man who provided us with water was once again friendly, engaging and efficient. We were never hurried during our dinner and in fact every member of the floor staff would check in on us regularly.
Now to the menu...next time we will Uber in an effort to enjoy the 5 course food/wine pairing menu offered! In that we did drive, we each ordered an appetizer (oysters, tuna crudo, beef tartar), entrée (duck, sea bass), and dessert (key lime tarte, peach crème brulee)...everything was extraordinary. I cannot emphasize enough just how unique, fresh and delicious the food was. The presentation was also exceptional. The complimentary amuse-bouche & bread were also remarkable. As we left we were given macarons to take home.
Not only will we return to this restaurant consistently but I will encourage everyone I know to dine at Cocothe not only for special occasions but any day of the week they are open.
