    My first time visiting and looking forward to my dinner. The menu was overwhelming with so many beautiful Peruvian dishes. Although the presentation and flavors delivered on the expectation, the big takeaway were the prices for each of our dishes.

    Overall our experience was really good. We encountered a glitch when checking in, they did not have that our reservation was for a birthday celebration. I had to bring it to their attention and immediately we were seated as VIP for the celebration.. There was also a party with children which were a bit over engertic but calmed down about 20 minutes to being seated. The parents were apologetic after they ate. Linda was our wait person and she provided excellent service to us and made sure our son was acknowledged for his big day. It has been a while being there but clearly a tourist attraction and dining pleasure.

    This is our annual holiday luncheon and it did not disappoint. Ralph’s service was Impeccable and the food was delicious. The soup of the day (porcini mushrooms with chestnut) was divine. Looking forward to next year at table # 45. 🦋

    If I could rate a place 5+ stars, COQUETA would be the place to get that ranking. Every. Single. Tapas. Dish. We. Had. Was. Astoundingly. Good. From the Bocadillo La Casa “Bikini” to the Patatas Bravas to the Calabacines a la Brasa... this is one of the very few places that was SO good, we ordered more after that initial trio just to experience more of the menu. Drink-wise, the cocktails are some of the best I've had in the city - creative, delicious, beautifully presented, and memorable. This entire dining experience is one I won't forget. Thank you!
