Dinner in the Garden District in NOLA is a must. Coquette is the spot and lives up to the neighborhood's rich culinary reputation. We chose bar seating, and Ty and Tyree made the experience fantastic with their attentive and friendly service.The menu is bold and inventive, and the standout for me was the carrot pasta. It was spectacular, proving that vegetarian dishes can be just as memorable as any other. We also tried the crab maison and tuna tartare, which each had their own unique spin and were delightful in their freshness and presentation.There's something especially meaningful about Coquette's history--it opened in 2008, during one of the most uncertain times economically. The courage it took to start a restaurant at that time in history speaks volumes about the passion behind this spot. It's truly remarkable to see it thriving today, more than a decade later, continuing to draw people with its creative menu. This spot is absolutely worth a visit for anyone in New Orleans!

I went to Coquette for a private dinner with lecture and enjoyed the venue space upstairs. The space was elegant, and I love the exposed brick. The table was set neatly. The dinner had about 20 guests. There was a bar upstairs as well just for our dinner party. The food was great! We were served bread service to begin and the bread was amazing! We were given a 4 course meal menu and given 2 options to pick from for the 2-4th courses. The salad and hangar steak were my favorite. I did not care for the Dulce Cremeau desert. The service was great. The reason I took off 1 star was because the food took a long time to come in between courses. We started with bread service around 6:30pm and did not get the desert until around 8pm. Overall, I enjoyed the dinner party experience here. It was an elevated space and I enjoyed the menu options. There was plenty of space for the presenter and the PowerPoint set up. The experience was smooth and unproblematic. I would dine here again in an intimate setting to see that experience.

My boyfriend and I had a great dinner at Coquette. We started with the five onion soup which was probably my favorite dish of the night. We also had the marinated crab claws which were delicious. For entrees I got the beef short rib which were some of the best short rib I'd had recently. My boyfriend got the red snapper which was also delicious. We finished with a cookie dessert which was also nice. The cocktails were strong and delicious too. This is a great special occasion or date night location.

First time. One of the trendy restaurants so do reserve. Party of 3.A smaller space and quite lively. Great service. Note - NOLA prices are just shy of NYC's...Cocktails, dozen oysters (4 each of Little Moon and Murder Point (both La.) and P&J (Ala.)), tuna crudo, pasta, duck, seafood stew, wine, and 1 dessert.All well presented and tasty.Damages with tip and 5% wellness charge was $375.Recommended.

This was by far the best meal we had in New Orleans. The short ribs were so smoky and fall apart and absolutely amazing. The cauliflower and bread appetizers were also great. The beef marmalade was unlike anything I've had before.I got the seafood stew and it was good but the short ribs really stole the show. They have a ton of great cocktails AND cocktails which was appreciated by our group. The butterscotch pudding dessert was the perfect end to the meal. The service was great and the interior is so beautiful.

Cute restaurant with an innovative menu. The bread service is a must. By far our favorite item of the night. We also ordered the Duck Rillette, Seafood Stew and Crab Agnolotti.

Delicious meal and great service, and the restaurant has this very chill atmosphere that's great for dates or dinner parties. We ordered a bit of everything, the crabmeat maison, the roasted oysters, and the tuna crudo to start. Hard to pick a favorite because they all had really great flavor but if you could only pick one go with the crabmeat. They source it locally and it's fantastic. For our mains we went with the flounder and short rib. So I preferred the flounder because it has this really cool crisp to it and it balances well with the collared greens. But if you like short rib, then you definitely won't be disappointed. I feel like everything on the menu here is worth it. And ask the waitress for a wine pairing and be amazed. Will absolutely come back

As predictably as the tides, the quality of a restaurant ebbs and flows. In researching the best restaurants in New Orleans, Coquette came up a lot. And I don't doubt that this place may have once been the stellar, innovative restaurant that many seem to remember. When that heyday ended I don't know. What I do know is that on a recent visit, everything about Coquette fell under the heading of "nothing special." We got two appetizers to start, and both were severely lacking in salt. The first, a Gulf fish dip, was served with store-bought Saltines and topped with a chow chow that stole the show, but the actual fish dip was underseasoned. The second, a roasted cabbage with muhammara, seemed to have almost no salt at all, save for the small pops you got from the Bleu cheese crumbles (which were too few to begin with). Overall a very weak start. As for the entrees, they were-- mercifully -- both properly seasoned. The carrot bolognese with gemelli was excellent and the best dish of the night. The other entree, a snapper with turnip bernaise, was decent but really not memorable in any way. As for dessert, the chocolate tart did little to alter the general theme of the night: it was pretty good, we finished it, and I'll never give it another second of thought beyond this review. Coquette wasn't a bad restaurant, merely very disappointing, especially in the wake of all the online hype and a week of far superior meals in New Orleans. Perhaps it could have barely squeaked out four stars, but I found the ambiance lacking, more like a pub than fine dining, including the bizarre choice to maintain subarctic temperatures inside the restaurant. If you live in the neighborhood I could see swinging by for that gemelli bolognese. But if you're visiting New Orleans, this one is a pass.

Fantastic experience. The food is fantastic, and quite a value for the price. Honestly this is a fantastic restaurant.
