Coqueta – San Francisco

It’s nice knowing people who know people who can hook you up with last minute prime time reservations at the most sought after restaurants in the city.  I am one lucky chunky girl that my friends want me to eat so well.

Coqueta is a new Michael Chiarello restaurant that has received 3 1/2 stars from Michael Bauer for good reason.  There’s a lot of thought that goes into each simple yet sophisticated plate/bite.  My mouth waters as I reminisce of the Pluma.  Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in the city now.  I’m told that the Guacho and the cheesecake bites are a must.
