Coquette Restaurant Review: Many failed restaurants have occupied this building, but Coquette has two things going for it that may ensure its longevity. First, the chef-owner, Mike Stoltzfus, used to be the sous chef at Restaurant August under talented chef John Besh. Second, the waitstaff is efficient and well-versed in the restaurant’s cuisine. Coquette has some of the highest ceilings in town and massive windows overlooking bustling Magazine Street. The menu changes daily, but always offers small and large plates. Typical dishes include roasted oysters with fennel, horseradish and bacon ragoût, and tender pork rillettes with cornichons, capers and Dijon mustard. Stoltzfus has a distinctive talent for combining unlikely flavors: his Gulf shrimp are combined with grapefruit, niçoise olives and chili vinaigrette. Desserts are imaginative, to say the least. Our favorite: the milk chocolate mousse with peanut butter sorbet. The wine list is just complex and diverse enough to demand a full reading, with a respectable selection of old-world and new-world wines spanning the globe from Hungary to California’s Russian River Valley. |
