Le Coq

“Great dishes and service, the servers are attentive and knowledgeable. Food is delicious. The bar at the front is hip but loud, not ideal if you just want to enjoy food.”

“What an absolute gem in La Jolla! The atmosphere was incredible. The service was impeccable. I got the filet, my boyfriend got the steak frites, both were so delicious. And make sure to not skip the tableside chocolate mousse for dessert! Truly tastes straight out of Paris. The interior is such a vibe and it’s a great place to just get a drink as well!”

“We had a fantastic evening at this lively, vibrant restaurant! Seated immediately upon arrival, our server Cory was prompt, attentive, and delightful. The Date Night menu was a highlight—rich Salon Rillette with hot Bing bread, perfectly cooked Denver steak and prawns surf & turf, and a decadent chocolate mousse to finish. The energetic music adds great atmosphere, though a few decibels lower would help conversation. Floor managers checked in, making us feel truly cared for. Highly recommend—excellent overall!”

“Had a FANTABULOUS girls’ night here. We came on a Sunday, and it was pretty low-key, but we heard that Fridays and Saturdays can be overly exciting. Will have to come back and give it another try when we’re in town. Dinner was DELISH and Caleb was the best server! We had a friend that didn’t drink, but he brought her a very small glass of light champagne for her to sip on. After dinner, we moved over to the bar for some cocktails and closed the place down. Would definitely recommend this restaurant; food and cocktails were really good. The severs, bust boy, bartender and hosts were also very nice.”

“Celebrated our anniversary here, and everything was spectacular! For cocktails, I had the Cha, which was a Japanese whiskey + green tea concoction. I really enjoyed it, and ordered another. My wife had the Neuf Connection which was refreshing, but switched to the Langlois Rose later. We started with the Tuna Tartare and Fried Oysters, both fantastic. Fried Oysters were more like a tempura, which I love. For entrees we shared the popular Steak Frites, which lived up to the hype, and splurged on the Miyazaki A5 strip which melted in the mouth. We ordered the Pave as a side based on the server recommendation, and it was like a delicious hash brown. Pistachio for dessert which was good but nothing special. The service was exceptional. At one point Pinay Chef Tara Monsod herself came out to serve it, and that was incredible. She was super nice, and even took the time to get a picture with us. The restaurant was beautiful, in a refurbished old car dealership. Wish we had one of the booths with more space, as our table was very tight right next to tables next to us - that part I did not like. Overall we enjoyed our anniversary night and would go back here again. I highly recommend checking this place out.”
