    Me and my friends had a good time at Cocotte. The food is amazing, the steak frites is the star. We love the wine suggested by our waiter Gusto, the ambiance is nice. We will be back.

    Absolutely loved this spot! The food was incredibly delicious — the truffle omelette and eggs Benedict were both standout dishes, packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Service was top-notch from start to finish, and the ambience made the whole experience even better. It’s a gorgeous place, perfect for a relaxed brunch or an elegant dinner. Highly recommend!

    Drinks came out very slow. Service was mediocre and although it was not busy our table seemed to be overlooked many times by the server. Food was good, when it finally came.

    Always love eating at Cocotte Bistro! Best sit down lunch spot downtown. The salad niçoise and quiche are out of this world and the servers are exceptional, especially Kristen. It’s also beautifully decorated - an all around great experience.

    Restaurant staff were kind, courteous and attentive without being overly so. The food was great. All 4 of us had steak frites and the rare and medium rare orders were of the proper doneness. The deserts were different around the table. I heard that everyone liked their choice. I had the Passion fruit Bavarois. I had never had this and was very pleased. I would recommend Cocotte Bistro to my friends.
