Another restaurant I have been meaning to try for a while. Finally got to try it last week-end and it was outstanding.

SETTING / DECOR
This new French bistro comes as an unexpected refuge from the Hollywood Road vibe, speakeasy-ish as you enter a room with indisputable charm and class. Dark green banquette, red, blue and greyish chairs, black marble table and different beautiful wallpapers on each side of the restaurant. Very cute.
FOOD
On the table we ordered for appetizers: foie gras (168), steak tartare (168), langoustine (238) and diver scallops (198). All beautiful, special mention for the steak tartare that is quite a common dish but the meat was great and it comes with some kind of sauce in a jar on the side, really really great addition. The scallops are an absolute try as well.
Next: we ordered a sole meuniere (688) and ribeye (888), both dishes meant to be shared for two. Both were great. The sole was moist and full of flavours. The ribeye was so tender and juicy. Great sides too. Loved the potato puree that comes with the sole. The ribeye comes with fries and a spinach gratin. Fries were fine but I found the spinach gratin a bit too strong for my taste (they had some blue cheese in it).
To finish we shared the Valrhona Chocolate Cake and the Berries. The cake was served with berries coulis, fresh rapsberries and a vanilla ice cream; it had kind of a fudge texture. It was glorious. The berries were fine too, very refreshing desert with the sorbet.
DRINKS
A bottle of Champagne to start and a bottle of red Burgundy Mercury. Wine list was actually pretty decent for a small restaurant like this. Fairly priced too.
SERVICE
It was a Saturday night and we came for the second service at 9pm. The place was pretty packed; a lovely hostess greeted us while we waited for our table to be re-set. During the meal, the service was attentive and friendly. The waiter was really nice. Food came timely too.
PRICE
Total bill per person : roughly 1,000 bucks for appetizers/mains/desserts/ water/ champagne/ wine and service charge. It is not cheap by any means but we were not looking for cheap and considering the quality of ingredients and the fact that we had champagne and wine, it is actually very reasonable.
All in all, we’ve had a wonderful evening and we’ll be back for sure. Bravo Cocotte.
