We visited on a major holiday (Valentine's Day) we had a reservation and we're seated immediately but did not get acknowledged by the servers for a good 15 minutes. I ordered a chicken dish that was mediocre at best and now I guess they're closed!

Very nice and romantic ambiance. When I visited there were groups of friends as well as couples there. The waitress that helped us was very pleasant. I had the trout and it was very good. The crème brulée was not amazing but was good as well.

I would definitely recommend the place.

Had a few cocktails which were very good. Cheese board for an appetizer provided a good selection. Salmon for dinner, a bit overcooked and overly salted. Terrific atmosphere, and okay food.

Well...not much to say. Other than that the food was very ordinary. The bread was hard enough to play baseball with. I was surprised with the bad food quality, especially with the 4.5 star on Yelp. BTW, I wasn't the only one disappointed with this. My colleague, who happens to also be French, was highly disappointed and had to apologize for his fellow countrymen.

All in all. Two thumbs down. Find something else

Took about 50 minutes to get our soup, then another 50 minutes to decide to leave because of the lack of service. Our entrees finally showed up a minute after we told them we were leaving, which is suspicious. Their apologies were not sincere and they never took blame, just full of excuses. Not coming back.

Went here for my dad's 64th birthday with the family. The service was great and the meals were good portion sizes and very tasty. The special, a red snapper dish, was fantastic. It almost tasted like three different seafood dishes in one! Highly recommended for any occasion or a nice dinner out with a loved one.

Transcendental food. Phenomenal drinks and service.

I don't understand how this restaurant could receive anything less than five stars. I live in Chicago and this is my favorite restaurant in the Midwest.

If you want to show your taste buds what it means to be alive, order the homemade pumpkin ravioli.

We booked a private room for a life celebration event and were more than pleased. Nick, whom I worked with, coordinated everything perfectly. From the private, personalized menu to helping with entree and appetizer selections. The service staff was outstanding not to mention the food was exquisite. Every attendee raved about their entree and the quaint, sophisticated atmosphere. Thanks Coquette, you made everything spectacular!

We had our wedding reception at Coquette Cafe. The food was marvelous, the service was terrific, and the ambiance was just what we wanted. One of the guests has a peanut allergy and they made a custom meal for her. Several guests raved about the food and plan to come back for business and family events. Thank you, Coquette Cafe!

We've been here for brunch, dinner and just a night out at BEEMO for a concert.

The challenge is to save room for dessert.
Cheese plate excellent and elegant.
The Eggplant is perfect with just the right amount of cheese.
The GoatCheese ravioli are just light and balance well with the veggies.

Then for desert there's the desert martini options, chocolate mousse, and the daily bread pudding.

Very fun and it solves our parking challenge!

Even better than everyone else said it would be! Ask for David the server. His service was flawless, timing was perfect, he was knowledgeable and made wonderful recommendations. I have worked in the hospitality industry all my life and appreciate receiving excellent service. Thank you David for an unforgettable evening! In addition, kudos to the chef the food was as exquisite as David's service!

This was the second time that we went to the restaurant. The first time we went to the restaurant it was fabulous! Lots of appealing specials. This time, there were no entree specials...very disappointing! The appetizer soup was a Chipotle Pork, which I would think would be better suited for a Mexican Restaurant, not a French Restaurant. So, with no entree specials, I ordered the Skate. There were three small pieces of fish on a huge salad. The fish was so salty I couldn't even eat it! So I sent it back and ordered the trout instead. The trout was better, but I believe the cook didn't season it at all. So, I had a rather bland piece of fish on a bed of croutons. Yes, that right. Fish served on croutons. Go figure. Would have been nice with rice or a potato, but dry croutons? Not worth the money. Don't think I will be going back.

The French onion soup was great, very robust flavor. The main course was just OK. The gooey fish skin was not edible and the seasoning on the fish and risotto was a little bland. The desert was very good. It was a key lime pie with a meringue and caramel sauce. I prefer the traditional style, but still very good. I guess when i visit a restaurant and order a $25 dish, i expect it to be the star. Because of my level of expectation, i have given only 3 stars. I did try some dishes of others at my table and they seemed very good. I wouldn't be opposed to trying this place again in the future and adjusting my rating accordingly.

Both the food and the service were excellent.

I require gluten free meals and I relied on my velvet-voiced server to recommend GF wine/food pairings. He did a marvelous job. (Seriously, the guy had the most amazingly deep voice. Plus he was just plain nice. --Nice to work with, kind about my foibles.)

Finally, I somehow managed to lose my glasses there and they found them, contacted me and saw them returned to me promptly. I would definitely go there again and am completely confident recommending them to folks venturing into the 3rd Ward.

The food is just ok, the atmosphere is better than the food, but not worth the price. Plenty of better places at similar prices in the area. Check out Lake Park Bistro for better French food.
