    We found the Fug Tree on Open table and a travel blog recommendation and it was exactly what we were looking for! We had a fabulous time celebrating my daughter’s 23rd birthday trip from Los Angeles -- and met others celebrating their anniversaries. We shared 2 apps, a salad, 1 main, and ordered 3 drinks (2 different cocktails and a glass of wine) — and unfortunately didn’t have room for dessert which we were looking forward to — but they still brought some homemade chocolates on a plate inscribed Happy Birthday with a candle, which was lovely! The wait staff were very personable and took great care of us including splitting shared dishes without being asked. The cocktails were unique and yummy. The food was a fantastic mix of flavors and cooked to perfection. The house was tastefully decorated for the holidays. Compared to LA prices it was at least 50% less expensive than a similar experience — but we did tip a lot more than we usually would since service was fantastic and min wage in NC is about 1/4 of that in CA.

    My friend and I had dinner at Coquette last night and it was an amazing experience with great food! Foie gras, potatoes beignets, steak tartare with bone marrow, lamb, champignions, hericot verts! Everything was incredible! A little taste of Paris here in the QC. Our server, Laura, was exceptional: she made great recommendations, answered our questions, was incredibly personable and made the evening an enjoyable one. Our only “complaint: dim those lights and set some candles on the tables.” ;) The manager came over to chat with us - and even made our complaint feel welcome. Such a great experience. I’ve been in for pastries but was thrilled to finally have the chance to savor an evening here. Don’t miss out! You won’t regret it.
