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.

Went here for lunch on Feb. 24. Weather cooperated and we sat outside. The red sangria is their in house recipe and the best I have had anywhere. We had a variety of warm tapas, every one of which was first rate. Service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.

Coqueta is always a good time. The food and drinks are delicious. It's just really really expensive. At least $125 pp if it's just tapas and drinks.

Amazing lunch experience at Coqueta. We followed the guidance of our waiter, Antonio M. Loved the Deviled Eggs, Salmon Ahumado (smoked salmon) and the Pulpo a la Parilla (grilled octopus with potatoes). And the cheesecake, Tarte de Queso Manchego. The service was spot on and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Cannot wait to return.

We have been meaning to try Coqueta for a while and I am sorry we waited so long. we were with a group which meant we could try more dishes. The food was delicious. We were especially fond of mushroom dish, the Catalan style vegetables (which was broccolini) and the albondigas. Our server Nikolas was very helpful in terms of getting us the right amount of food. We will be back

Drinks are absolutely delicious. The host was a little offensive and our server was amazing so he made up for her rude comment.

Service was great and looking to go back. The Paella was not that great and ended up being room temp when it came to the table.
