thanks for making my point for me


My point was that I normally don't do this, but the entrees on this particular night didn't really seem to hit a cord. And I agree, it would be hard to be blown away by this dish. But my point remains, it just wasn't good.

what fish was it?


I think it was either flounder of snapper. It was about a month or so ago, so my recolection is a bit fuzzy. The reason I said this is because I never order catfish or drum/redfish at a place like Coquette.

also was the sauce served on top? i rarely see them do anything but serve the protein on top of the sauce.


I am not really sure, but it was served with an overpowering sauce, and some greens.

okay smartass.


You come after me like I am some joe blow who eats out at Applebee's on the reg. I was just giving my opinion on this place based off of my first experience. Again, I wasn't a huge fan of the menu the night I went, and that played a big part in the way I ordered.

Go back. It is simply one of the best restaurants in the city. Maybe you got a bad night, I don't know. But I can tell you that it is consistently wonderful, so I would give it another go.

My advice would be whatever DOESN'T strike a cord with you...order that.

And you can always try their lunch instead. 3 courses, 20 bucks. Minimizes your bill and you get to try a few things. We go on a Saturday about once a month for it. And their cocktails are awesome.

See this was my point in the first place.

That's no good.

Pretty sure I did nothing of the sort. Hell I wasn't even the first person to say you ordered poorly.

I don't think there's anything wrong with what you ordered FWIW. I love fish and frequently order fresh fish of the day offerings. I'd expect a fish dish at Coquette to be very good.
