" Unfortunately, my experience was marred by the service at Cocotte Bistro. Although the ambiance was nice and the food decent, our server seemed overwhelmed and unattentive. We had to wait over half an hour to place our orders before finally flagging someone down. I had the French onion soup and it was tasty, but I expected more from what I had heard about this place. I may try again based on good reviews but was quite disappointed this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a magnificent evening at Cocotte Bistro celebrating our anniversary. The ambiance was absolutely perfect—soft lighting and beautiful decor. We tried the oysters, which were fresh and flavorful, followed by the entrees of coq au vin and a rich chocolate dessert. Every bite was exquisite! Service was phenomenal as our waiter, Vitor, was attentive and knowledgeable. This place truly lived up to the hype, and I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday here, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! The food was divine—every dish was crafted with care. The highlight of the meal was definitely the scallops, which melted in my mouth. While the service was decent, it could have been a bit more attentive, as we had to wait for a bit to catch our server's eye. Overall a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a lovely brunch here with a few friends last weekend. The decor is simply amazing—a true French bistro feel. We shared the eggs benedict and avocado toast, both of which were delicious, though the toast could have used a bit more seasoning. Our server was friendly but a bit scattered. We had to ask a couple of times for coffee refills, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I'd recommend Cocotte for its atmosphere and food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Cocotte Bistro was an absolute delight! The atmosphere was cozy and charming, perfect for a romantic dinner. I ordered the duck confit, which was cooked to perfection, and my partner had the steak, which was equally impressive. The service was attentive without being intrusive, making our evening truly special. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Cocotte Bistro for the first time last week, and I absolutely loved the ambiance! It felt like a lovely French escape. The cheese platter was delightful, albeit pricey. The service was a little slow to start, but once our server arrived, she was friendly and helpful. I’m eager to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a chance to dine at Cocotte Bistro last night, and it was mostly a positive experience. I had the crevettes au Pernod, which was recommended by my server. It was astonishing—possibly the best shrimp dish I’ve ever had! The desserts were also lovely, although the service lagged at times. I’d certainly come back! " (*Curated Review*)
