No More Happy Hour at Coquette

I went to dinner last night at Coquette. The food was amazing, as always!
Had the charcuterie board, and it was fantastic. For my entrée, I had the duck, and it was one of the best ducks I've ever had!
While I do absolutely LOVE the food at Coquette, drinking there will land you in the poor house at $12+ per drink.
I also don't like that a place that charges $14 for a drink and $30+ for entrees has servers wearing jeans.

Well, were the jeans "nice jeans."

That's disappointing.
I used to feel like Coquette was a relative bargain for the quality of food being served. I probably go 1-2 times per year for dinner and I don't know if it's just the cynic in me, but my final bill seems to be substantially higher these days. Maybe it's the booze? I still think its price point is consistent with its competition.
The prix fixe lunch is still one of my go-to spots.

$12+ For craft style cocktails is standard now. High end eateries going more casual is pretty common too.

They had the best happy hour in the city

You're saving money at the pump. Shouldn't have a problem paying these prices.

Well, which is it?
I agree, Coquette is (and has been) priced to the max. IMO.
They have some of the best food in town, but they stopped being a good value well over a year ago.
Their cocktail program is top notch and this seems to be the going rate around town.

Welcome to last September. LINK
As I've stated several times now, Coquette really outgrew its britches over a year ago, with ending deals, raises prices and shrinking portions. I think they have finally refound their stride though and struck a nice balance because last time I went in December they had gotten back to their original form and were putting out killer tasting dishes.

My Old Fashioned was $12. Nothing crafty about that.
I do find the portion sizes to be small, but I expect that in a nice restaurant. I have no problem with the food prices, because it's damn good food, and I've never been disappointed in the food.
I'm really sad that they no longer have a happy hour.
