Coquette

Ordered their new menu seafood platter which is all seven of their raw bar items. Super fresh and terrific execution with on-point accompaniments. Mignonette mini spray bottle for the outages is genius. Thin homemade potato chips heavenly. Cocktail description was inaccurate to actual flavor profile which bartender acknowledged. Incredible desserts. Only about six tables but about a dozen reserved spots at their long tavern bar. Buzzing neighborhood commercial strip to walk your meal off.

I have wanted to try Coquette the last couple of times I was in New Orleans. This time I made my way, and it was, without hyperbole, one of the very best meals I have ever had in many trips to this city. The atmosphere is comfortable and the food is both simple and exquisite. I had raw oysters with a fennel mignonette, the Crab Maison (simple dressed ice-cold Louisiana crab on Saltine crackers), and the Smoked Beef Short Rib on a mole verde sauce that was unfathomably beautiful and complementary. I was dining alone, and the efficient and warm service (Kelly) made the entire experience one I want to repeat.

What a great dining experience. The food was excellent service and staff very professional. We had the 1/2 chicken with mashed potatoes, corn mix, and devil eggs What a great combination. The chicken was moist and had fantastic crunchy skin. The price for lunch was high but worth it. You need to try when in New Orleans

We did the blind tasting (don’t look at my pics if you want to stay surprised!). We sat upstairs which I preferred as there’s more space and quieter. The food was really good! We enjoyed each dish including the explanation of what was in there. I didn’t love the wine pairing. While I enjoy that explanation as well and the thoughtfulness behind the pairing, there were wines that I just don’t prefer. The last pairing was a vermouth type drink and I couldn’t even finish it. I would’ve preferred getting a couple glasses of varietals I know I like. Service was great though. I don’t know how often they change this menu, but we would do it again!
