Focusing on regional dishes from Madrid, Catalonia, the Basque Country and beyond, the menu will feature Chiarello's interpretation of traditional Spanish cuisine and, as has always been his tradition, will highlight the bounty of fresh, local ingredients from land and sea.Coqueta means “flirt” or “infatuation” in Spanish, and represents Michael Chiarello and his team’s exploration and interpretation of Spanish Cuisine, wine and inspired cocktails, while highlighting the bounty of Northern California.

    Harris was one of the best restaurants in the city. My steak was cooked to perfection and the service was great. The employees were friendly from the moment I entered the restaurant. 10/10

    Second time eating here. Both times were excellent. This time we sat at the Chef’s table and nerded out with questions to the Chef (who was really personable). We did a 16 oz Ribeye and the A5 sampler (Ribeye + Filet). As good as it gets… truly. A++.

    The "dim sum" small dishes are delicious, innovative, surprising. And they keep on coming. The servers are so friendly, so efficient, and so obviously proud to work at the restaurant. That alone would keep us coming back. PS: wine isn't and can't be the primary issue at a restaurant with these amazing tastes, but their wine is good and really complements the meal.

    First-time visit to China Live, and we were not disappointed! Attentive, helpful service (Raffi was super-helpful with navigating the menu), lots of choices, and quick service. We got the XLB, sea bass, and crispy noodles with chicken, and really, I can't think of a single negative thing to say about any of them. Dessert was the wonderful mandarin brownie with lychee ice cream. All in all, a wonderful meal and a great time out for my bride and I.

    A absolutely spectacular experience. A few highlights: - Order the Manhattan. Well balanced and a double. Great start! - Oysters were phenomenal. They have their own estuary and it shows. The freshest we’ve ever had. - Caviar and potato chips were not only decadent but actually a great value. - Caesar salad made table side was delicious. - New York bone-in strip was perfection. Seasoning and crust were on point. - Creamed Kale as a side was spectacular too. - Bananas Foster for dessert. An incredible experience. Great service all along the way. Well done Tyler and team!
