Cocotte

This place is awesome. The food was on point and the people who work there were some of the loveliest people I have found at a restaurant in NY. We wound up getting two items off of their specials list that night. The wine options were delicious and the bar tender was knowledgeable. We sat at the bar. Where we sat was definitely not meant to be a seat (the counter provided no leg room on that side of the bar and we got hit by people who passed), but they offered to move us once another seat opened. We loved sitting with the bar tender and had great conversation (which was not forced for those who would prefer not to). There is a sort of unofficial coat check behind the bar you can ask them about, which was necessary for where we sat. Anyway, I highly recommend this place. It was just a cozy, high quality and authentic french restaurant. Completely satisfying. It is great for a date or a fancy night out with a small group.

Cocotte is a nice French-Basque restaurant, serving tasty food in a cozy setting. Service is polite and efficient.The food is consistently good. Most recently I enjoyed their chorizo mushrooms and cod dinner.

Great place. Sat at the bar and Michelle was excellent. My first time here.
