Brought to you by Award Winning Chef Michael Chiarello and located at Pier 5 on the bustling San Francisco Waterfront, Coqueta is inspired by the cuisines of Spain. Chef Chiarello feels that Spain’s signature ‘small plates’ coupled with the social vibrancy of their dining scene is the perfect combination for San Francisco, which has its own deep-rooted history with the country. Focusing on regional dishes from Madrid, Catalonia, the Basque Country and beyond, the menu will feature Chiarello's interpretation of traditional Spanish cuisine and, as has always been his tradition, will highlight the bounty of fresh, local ingredients from land and sea.

Coqueta means “flirt” or “infatuation” in Spanish, and represents Michael Chiarello and his team’s exploration and interpretation of Spanish Cuisine, wine and inspired cocktails, while highlighting the bounty of Northern California.

    This was our third visit to Coqueta spanning 10 years and once again it was a dining adventure. If I had anything critical to say it was that the tables would not accommodate more than a few tapas courses at a time. Otherwise the dishes were each special. For us the standouts were the duck/pork meatballs and the mushroom platter. The flan for dessert was a complementary birthday special

    I've been a long time fan of Coqueta, but hadn't visited in several years. Two of us shared several dishes. Everything was authentic (I was with a spaniard!), tasty and the service was excellent. Only complaint, the wine pour was very light!

    Our first time to this restaurant and the food was excellent very well prepared and well presented. The flavors were great and clean and crisp. Some unique twists on some traditional Spanish dishes. Served in a traditional way but in bite-size portions that were attractive and flavorful. Service was friendly and attentive. Definitely will return well worth the visit.

    I came here all the time for lunch when I lived in SF; I was in for a conference, and decided to go to dinner, which was much more crowded. Staff was, eg, dealing with a table of about 24, so they were slammed and the restaurant was very loud. After about 20 minutes of not being greeted by a server, I asked one sprinting by if someone was assigned to me, and I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly kind and attentive she (and the other slammed staff) were to me for the rest of my time. The food, as always, was incredibly tasty — I always get the salmon toasts, which have a wonderful honey taste, and this time I ordered patatas bravas and garlic shrimp, as well as gin and tonics. As someone who travels solo for work and pleasure frequently, I always like to note when a restaurant treats a solo diner with the right combination of attentiveness and leave-you-in-peace, and the combination of great service and great food here makes this a regular SF stop for me.

    Coqueta is one of my favorite restaurants for the location, the small bites, and the informal-chic atmosphere. I appreciate the food, the same I find in the tapas restaurant in Barcelona or in Madrid. A bit pricey, though admittedly the location commands it. I recommend it for an informal dinner with friends after work or for a date. Always leave a positive vibe.
