About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • 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.

    The space and decor here are well done; there's seating indoors, outdoors and in covered space. Service was attentive. The food was solid- well prepared and tasty. I would recommend it.

    A consistently good restaurant. The food and drinks are solid. Portion sizes for tapas are decent. Reasonably priced for San Francisco as well.

    Food came fast and good service. Highly recommend the tomahawk. Ensalada de kale and ensalada de remolacha were good (forgot to take pics of both) as were the gambas negras and pulpo a la parilla (very tender) (forgot to take a pic of the pulpo as well). We ordered the Paella Mar y Montana which was very good. I would pass on the Setas al Ajillo (mushrooms) which was VERY salty. Skip the Patatas Bravas and Croquetas de Pollo as well - nothing special. For dessert the Tarta de Queso Manchego with raspberry sorbet was excellent. The Tarta de Chocolate served with mango sorbet was good but very rich and decadent. If you’re a chocolate lover, this is your dessert!

    Open Table recommended this as a “romantic restaurant” so I booked it for my spouse‘s birthday but it was pretty meh as a special occasion location. The outdoor area barely has a view. We were right on Market Street with pedestrian and cars right next to us. Our server was working hard, but had a very large area to cover. We ordered a paella and two appetizers, the paella came first, one of the appetizers never arrived. We mentioned that when we asked for the bill and our server offered us an extra drink, which was appreciated. I had noted in the reservation that were celebrating my spouse‘s birthday, there was no acknowledgment by the host or server that we were here for a celebration. In contrast, we had gone to La Mar for my birthday, had a seat facing at the water, received a handwritten card and comped dessert. Coqueta is great for a casual meet up, but for a special occasion, I would suggest elsewhere.
