    The food and drinks were delicious! The service was a little slow and seemed a bit forgetful - the server himself was kind and friendly.

    First time there, but seems to be highly overrated. Food was average at best.

    Made a reservation on Valentines Day weekend (not the day of) specifically looking for restaurants that don’t have set menus that weekend. The reservation system allowed us to choose a reservation with or without a set menu, so I chose the one without. Upon arrival we were told there was only a set menu with things we probably wouldn’t have ordered ourselves.
    Cocotte BistroResponded on February 17, 2025
    Hi Joyce, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that the service and ambiance were to your liking, but we sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the menu. We understand how disappointing it can be when expectations don’t match the experience, and we’ll work to make sure the reservation system is clearer moving forward. We truly hope to have the opportunity to offer you a better experience on your next visit! Best regards, Cocotte Bistro

    Un peu désorganisé au début, mais bon service et bon repas, mais un peu dispendueux. / A bit disorganized at the beginning. Good service and good food, but a bit expensive.

    This is our second visit. Greeting was great. Ambiance is somewhat sterile...more like a cafeteria..lacks privacy. Table service was professional and friendly. The 4 course meal was sub standard. The duck was well prepared but the green beans raw and undercooked. The Moraccan style salmon was overcooked and dry. The green beans also raw and uncooked. The Moroccan rice was overcooked and dry. The soup was Lukewarm. Water and beverages were good. Dessert...fruit tarts were very good. Coffee was good. The meal was overpriced and sub standard. We did not complain on site due to the fact we live out of town and delays would have made travel more risky.

    Hi Mireille, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re happy to hear that you received a warm welcome and enjoyed the service. We also appreciate your feedback on the ambiance and food. We will work to make your next experience even better! Best regards, Cocotte Bistro
