点评:We had an average dinner at the Coqueta in Yountville, but I feel that I wasted one of my nights out to dinner dining here when we could have had a good or great dinner elsewhere.
Generally when we have Spanish food, we find the food or at least some dishes to be delicious. We were very underwhelmed at Coqueta. We ordered some shared tapas and a paella for the main dish. We enjoyed the patatas bravas, the presentation was nice and they tasted good. We also had the pan con tomate, which was below par. The tomato confiture just tasted off, not fresh tasting like you get in Spain or even other Spanish restaurants in the U.S. The mushroom dish, setas al ajillo, was HORRIBLE. They put so much vinegar in it, I fail to understand what they were trying to achieve.
The paella they served was one of the most boring bland dishes I've eaten in a while. I think my morning oatmeal was more flavorful. The presentation of the paella was really nice. If you wanted to take a picture of it, it would look great on Instagram. But it seems like they cooked the seafood separately from the rice, because the rice was lacking flavor, salt, and saffron. The seafood on top tasted good though.
Some positives: the cocktails were great A+, our dessert was classic, the service was nice and attentive enough.
翻译:我们在 Yountville 的 Coqueta 吃了一顿普通的晚餐,但我觉得我浪费了一个晚上出去吃晚饭,而我们本可以在其他地方吃一顿丰盛的晚餐。
一般来说,当我们吃西班牙菜时,我们会发现食物或至少某些菜肴很美味。我们对 Coqueta 非常失望。我们点了一些共享小吃和主菜西班牙海鲜饭。我们很喜欢 patatas bravas,摆盘很好,味道也不错。我们还有 pan con tomate,低于标准水平。番茄果酱刚尝过,不像在西班牙或什至在美国的其他西班牙餐馆那样新鲜。蘑菇菜 setas al ajillo 太可怕了。他们在里面放了那么多醋,我不明白他们想要达到什么目的。
他们供应的西班牙海鲜饭是我有一段时间吃过的最乏味的清淡菜肴之一。我觉得我早上吃的燕麦片更美味。西班牙海鲜饭的介绍非常好。如果你想给它拍照,它在 Instagram 上看起来会很棒。但他们似乎把海鲜和米饭分开煮了,因为米饭没有味道、盐和藏红花。不过上面的海鲜味道不错。
一些积极的方面:鸡尾酒很棒,我们的甜点很经典,服务很好,也很周到。
