Coqueta

Absolutely fantastic. The cocktails were phenomenal. The tapas toe-curling. And the ambiance unbeatable. My wife and I met up with some old friends and spent the evening sitting outside by the water drinking creative cocktails, sharing sumptuous small plates, and enjoying conversations that we wish we could have more often.

This place slaps! No CAP!!!

Wow, this is some of the most remarkable food. The wait staff is very helpful and descriptive. All of the food was fresh. The seating in the restaurant (indoor and outdoor) can feel a little crammed but it is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in SF. The Bikini eggplant sandwich is top notch. Making reservations on google/yelp is also very easy!

Great spot for tapas and outdoor seating!
This place offers delicious tapas and excellent service. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. When the weather is warm, they have great outdoor seating, adding another option for a pleasant dining experience.

Pleasant atmosphere with friendly service and an ocean view. The food and drinks were excellent. Love the balanced flavors of the pork and duck meatballs with cherry salsa—a delightful touch that added a refreshing contrast. The Gulf prawns were fried to perfection, offering a crispy texture and a satisfying garlic flavor.

Classic tapas style restaurant with paella.
We ordered the vegetarian paella because that’s recommended on the menu, but am not very impressed. Will probably try the meat ones next time.
From the tapas, I really liked the mushroom. It’s very tender and rich of taste, all the tastes are soaked into the mushroom. Also interesting taste with egg yolk.
Also liked the salmon tapas but it’s a little hard to divide and share.
The restaurant is at the waterfront and very well furnished. Great spot for a gathering! We had to wait a while for our server from time to time, but overall was okay.

Perfect location for a team lunch. We ordered a variety of food and were able to try lots of things. The cocktails and NA drinks were very fresh and tasty as well.

Beautiful views of the water. Plenty of paid street parking around.

Spanish restaurant by the pier, visited in Spring last year. Food was pretty good, great use of the parilla in cooking the proteins. While many farm-to-table restaurants in the city hype over Zuckerman’s Asparagus by serving it simply raw, I really appreciate that Coqueta fully extend the potential of their asparagus dish by grilling it and serving it with a flavorful romesco! Branzino was tasty w the accompanying garnishes.
Definitely a restaurant worth returning to when in San Francisco.

When the sun is out and you can get a nice spot outside it's really a great place to have lunch. The tapas are all very good and diverse. Inside is nice too by the way.

Coquette is a gem for cocktail enthusiasts, especially if you love gin-based drinks. Their innovative cocktails are a highlight, and the tapas are perfect for sharing. The vibe is lively yet intimate, and the aesthetics are chic and inviting. A great spot for a night out or a casual gathering. Plus, they offer excellent seafood and meat options, adding to the appeal.

I tried this place for a quick lunch during our walk nearby Pier 5. The food was excellent, and the ambiance was good. We tried one of the white Pinot Noir, and that was a perfect choice, too! Worth try overall!

Great spot on the water. Delicious tapas and paella 🥘. White sangria was delicious. Impressive cocktail list 🍹

Coqueta, next to the beautiful Pier 7, is a wonderful place. They have truly breathed in the Spanish tapas culinary art and make the best attempt at taking you through a journey.

Some of these tapas inch close to a Michelin star and yes, some still need a bit of work. But at the end of the day, I do not think there is another tapas place in the city that even comes close.

Rather than nit pick and comment on each dish, I'd like to remind you that no matter what you order, the atmosphere, the pier, the service, and the vibe will truly make you happy. It will absolutely be of a 5-star value.

Some of the awesome dishes: the croquettes were heavenly, the squid ink paella was quite an experience (although I think it may have been a tad bit dry), cheese plate was well put together, and the churros were to die for.

Coqueta is a special place. A perfect date night. A perfect place to defuse a long week's stress with friends and family. Will absolutely return and frequent.

Fantastic place for small plates right down on the Embarcadero. The food was prepared perfectly and the drinks were awesome. Everything was delicious. The wait was non existent even though we went 3:30 on Black Friday. If you're on a budget this may not be the place to offer to pay for all your big eater friends and family members.

Coqueta in San Francisco, oh my, it's the most seductive dining destination by the water!

This place is a flirt's paradise with its indoor, semi-indoor, and outdoor seating options. You can choose your level of intimacy while gazing out at the enchanting views.

As I arrived, I couldn't resist sashaying over to the outside bar while waiting for my party, and oh, the service was as smooth as a sultry dance. A teasingly delightful start to the evening!

I couldn't help but notice the grand reserved table outside, the perfect spot for those who want to see and be seen. I'm already planning a return visit with a group of my closest confidants.

Now, let's talk about the food - it's pure temptation! There was this delectable French fries appetizer, served with a name I can't quite recall, and topped with an egg over easy. The way they cracked the yolk over it at the table sent shivers down my spine.

But the Tomahawk steak, my oh my, it was the epitome of desire! They presented it whole, and then, with the grace of a lover, expertly sliced it, all while that wood-fired oven added a seductive smokiness that elevated the flavors to new heights. It was a touch rarer than I'd usually go for, but I cleverly saved the rare bits for a to-go bag, an enticing rendezvous for the next day.

Coqueta knows how to play the mixology game too, offering a sensuous selection of cocktails befitting a fine dining establishment like this. Each sip was a flirtatious tease.

Now, I must admit, the prices here might raise an eyebrow, but trust me, every penny you invest is returned tenfold in the form of the tantalizing experience, the romantic setting, and the unforgettable flavors. Coqueta is where you come to ignite your senses and create lasting memories. 💘💸🍽

This was my second visit to Coqueta. This is by far one of the must try restaurants on the Embarcadero.

This time it was for a large party. Everything we had was well prepared and cooked to perfection.

Our server was very polite to everyone at our table and made sure our glasses were never empty.

Great place for dates and birthday celebrations.

We enjoyed a most spectacular lunch, dining outdoors with absolutely phenomenal and attentive service. I look forward to returning.

A hidden gem with great waitstaff, super bartender and interesting, playful cocktails. We had a day-getaway to cocktail and appetizer hop our way along the embarcadero. Coqueta did not disappoint! Authenticity, quality, and value… especially compared to some neighboring restaurants where you might pay close to $20 for a sippy cup amount of a cocktail!
We landed on Coqueta, sat at the bar and enjoyed a special gin cocktail, a from-the-source Basque sidra, and two tiny pinxtos! Everything was spot on, but being a Spaniard myself, I allow myself to critique the flavors of the pinxtos: the huevos de cordonice were short on salt, overcooked and sadly, a bit dull in flavor. The Boquerones were very tasty, I just wish one order came with two bites!
The bartender on duty, Wilfredo, was super nice, approachable and talkative, a great add to this gem of a bar with spectacular Bay Bridge views!

Drinks were superb and the service and vibe was excellent. I also really appreciate their unique flavor combinations in their food

What a tremendous experience. Coqueta is a special place and I can't wait to return!

The service is always high quality here, and the food is delicious.

I really enjoyed the tomahawk steak the last time I went. Their paella was good, but I feel like you can find similar quality paella in the area for cheaper. For an appetizer, I highly recommend the seared peppers and their beet salad.
