Coquette is somtimes called the ""other"" french restaurant because it is the newer of the two high end french restaurants. But Coquette is less cold and is a better value for you money. The ""around the word"" menu changes every month and has had some of the best dishes I have ever eaten. The staff is always friendly and never prentious. It took two years before I found out that there is parking available behind the building. Pros: Warm and friendly, Special Menu more

Maybe we had read too many great reviews, but we were under-whelmed. Much of the food was really good -- the thin-crust pizza and pates were wonderful. But the salade nicoise contained teeny little olives that looked exactly like black beans -- making for a very crunchy first bite -- and the rest of the salad was fairly pedestrian. We arrived 1/2 hour early and sat at the bar looking at 3 adjoining tables -- empty the entire time until we were seated at one of them -- along with the 2 other tables, which overloaded our slightly hapless server. And I hate to have to beg for another glass of wine. We've happily give up a bit of the Milwaukee friendliness for a touch of big-city competence. Pros: Great parking Cons: , Poor table useage more

Food is consistantly great! Several of the salads/appetizers are uniquely special. You can feel comfortable in anything from casual attire to very dressy. Great people watching. The only thing that needs help is the ambience of the outside dining. more

I can't say enough about this place. I always feel as if I've steped into a little part of Paris in WI. when I'm there. The service is great, food wonderful and you can go casual. I've taken friends, family and business clients there. I feel it's a must when I'm in the city. Pros: Great service, wonderful food, laid back more
