“ High-end food excellent service. Have been coming for years and have never been disappointed. My go-to place when I feel like I need a dining regroup ”
“ Cozy, friendly with delicious food, small portions and decent prices. Great for any occasion. I celebrated my birthday there last sunday with my family. Good seafood selections. Drinks were a bit too strong for my family members, but not for me. Maybe because my drink was not from their menu. I will definitely come back one day! ”

“ Absolutely beautiful evening. The food is delicious at La Coquille. Excellent extensive menu and with great fish selections. Three of us had the Duck a L’Orange, another specials of Halibut and a Lamb Osso Bucco with Saffron Risotto. Friendly, professional service. Beautiful dining room. Comfortable, elegant and sophisticated. I’ve been several times over the years and it’s always consistently excellent. ”
“ This place has some very authentic French cuisine. The French onion soup is absolutely a delight (most other places are too salty, this is just right) with the proper cheese added. Their roast duck and lamb is utterly a delight. ”
“ My husband and I had an amazing dinner at La Coquille. Escargots Bourguignonne was so good that we felt like we were dining in France. Baguette was so tasty when you dip in the sauce. I enjoyed warm octopus salad. Packed with flavor and good portion of octopus. Filet of sole en Croute is such a classic dish with touch of beurre blanc. Veal Escalopes was so well cooked and loved pomme puree and chestnut. Loved everything at dessert cart but end up having Napoleon. Service was top notch! We owned restaurants in NYC for over 30 years and my husband is a culinary trained chef, so he doesn’t get impressed easily. He throughly enjoyed the food! When we left, we forgot our bag and the bus person ran out to look for us in parking lot. It shows that staff care about the customers. Had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back to try other dishes. ”
