Fancy bistro in chilled out NoHo

Had dinner with a girlfriend late on a Monday night at this French restaurant I've been meaning to try for ages. I love their location on the laid-back streets of Noho, just down a few steps from Hollywood Road. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here if not for their aloof-to-the-point-of-being-unwelcoming service. The blonde  waitress - in true Parisian style - was the opposite of warm.

Had dinner with a girlfriend late on a Monday night at this French restaurant I've been meaning to try for ages. I love their location on the laid-back streets of Noho, just down a few steps from Hollywood Road. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here if not for their aloof-to-the-point-of-being-unwelcoming service. The blonde  waitress - in true Parisian style - was the opposite of warm. The nice guy down a few more steps and across at Figaro is wayyy more pleasant and gives off such a good feeling. Cocotte should just pirate him from Figaro.

 Having already had soup earlier at home (before Pilates class) - I wasn't all that hungry. And I knew my friend eats like a bird. So we shared one main and had three glasses of wine between us. I'm no connosieur but the wine prices averaged at HK$150 meaning they should be pretty damn good over there.

 The dover sole was absolutely fresh and cooked to perfection. Tender and light, but also flavour-heavy and buttery from the sauce. You think you're being healthy ordering fish but then it can't taste THAT good and be low on calories. Wish it were, though! I don't love mashed potatoes but with all that butter and cream my taste buds were exploding with delight. At least there were green beans to assuage our guilt..

For dessert it was a tough choice between Apple Tarte Tatin and the molten chocolate cake but in the end VALRHONA CHOCOLATE TEXTURES (HK$100) won. Inside: biscuit moelleux, choco-peanut, crumble, ganache, raspberry (if I remember correctly). It was so-so. Cake a bit bready. Maybe we should have gone for the tarte tatin. 
Would I go back?
Probably yes. Honestly the vibe, location, and food make strong enough cases for an encore.
