    Our evening at Cocotte Bistro was absolutely lovely! From the moment we walked in, the charming French ambiance and soft lighting made us feel so relaxed and at home. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic flavour, you could tell it was made with care. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive! We’ll definitely be back soon!

    Food was great. Appetizer, main and dessert. I was full but not too full. I had the arancini but also sampled the short rib and the duck. Tres leche tiramisu cake was delicious. We were there before it got busy so the noise level was rising by dessert. Coat check was a nice touch. Service attentive and professional.

    Excellent, attentive service from start to finish. I loved the personal call to confirm our reservation and that our server already knew about our dietary restrictions before we even sat down. Food was delicious - I’m still thinking about that scallop tartare. Our party of two ordered a snack, an app and two mains. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and presented, with creative flair but no pretentiousness. The dishes were well-portioned - we did not go home hungry and next time would save room for dessert. I understand that Arlo boasts a well-curated selection of wines, but the sober and sober-curious will be interested to know that they make super yummy non-alcoholic cocktails too. Finally, the ambiance and decor create a dining experience that feels cozy and comfortable but unique. Arlo does everything right. Can’t wait for our next visit.
