| - Have been here about 4 or 5 times now......we come here for all of our special occasions.....such an excellent restaurant!
Ambiance is good, food is impeccable and perfectly cooked. Service is attentive, with staff being informative and friendly.
Now this is not a health food restaurant and not meant to be, BUT you can make good choices if you are inclined to do so. I have previously enjoyed their French Onion Soup (best I have ever had), their salads are very tasty and the entrees are not only mouth watering, but nicely plated. A feast for the eyes and taste-buds....
This time I had the steak and eggs. Also comes with a BIG portion of fries (Parmesan topped, I believe) or you can substitute a salad. My friends enjoyed the fries and said they were very nice. My meal was perfectly cooked, very delicious. Simple food, done well! However there are many other, more complex choices offered on the menu (with my new Paleo diet limiting MY choices).....there are no incorrect selections (at least from what I have tasted) on this menu!
Maria, our server, was great. She even brought us a new dessert item to try (bread pudding with a caramel sauce, with fresh berries....delicious!), free of charge. Yes, I know.....NOT Paleo.....I only had a very small taste..!
We met the owner (Rob). He was very friendly and had a nice energy. You could tell he is working at his labour of love....it showed in his smile and his natty attire! If you have something to say, either complimentary or a concern, I have a very good feeling that he will listen thoughtfully and make sure that you are happy....
We will come back here many many more times......but only on special occasions, as we don't want too much of a good thing (we want to keep it special!)
Lunch for 4 was $135 (tax and tip included), with 2 Capuccinos, 2 coffees and a glass of wine. A little more pricey than the norm, but well worth it!!
Coquine is NOT hum drum........be sure to visit sooner, rather than later!! And don't limit yourselves as we do....make it your special date & celebration place!
Just make sure there is room for two more!
