About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Great for scenic views

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.

What an amazing restaraunt. Everything went well. The decor was very special and there were numerous nice touches. Delicious Paella, sangria, and croquettes. What else do you need from a cute little Spanish restaraunt!

Amazing tapas restaurant with views of the Bay if you sit outside, and inside has its own sexiness. Food has authentic flavors. Presentation was on point. Service was phenomenal! With each visit, this restaurant is getting better. We booked as a 2 top and ended up a group of 4. Luckily the restaurant was able to accommodate us as it was an early dinner. Atmosphere was great, modern and intimate, great vibe. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was amazing!!! Where should I start: The mushroom pintxos were moist and tasty. You can never go wrong with cheese at Coquetta. The salmon with truffle honey is always a favorite. Love the dates and goat cheese. Kale salad was big enough to share as an app. Potatoes brava was good. For our main- we shared a paella and two orders of beef. Tender, juicy beef with saffron garnish. Lots of wine to pair with. Clear and articulate descriptions of both food and wine magnified the experience. Thank you Harry and Alma! The staff worked together to care for guests rather than waving your specific server. Bravo !!!! The birthday dessert was yummy!! And special- thank you !! This is the Coquetta I fell in love with before Covid!

Nice restaurant with friendly staff but the food was just “okay.” The sangria was flat and lacked flavor and paella was underwhelming. I was excited to have paella but unfortunately didn’t have much flavor at all. We ordered the Mar and Montana and I was not impressed. I was excepting more from Coqueta but next time I crave Spanish food I’ll stick to Picarro’s.
