Coqueta is Michael Chiarello's new restaurant located on Pier 5 in . Coqueta means "flirt" in Spanish. What an appropriate name for his twist on Spanish cuisine. Each dish and drink definitely flirts with you with it's presentation. Often you wonder, how could I possibly eat/drink this work of art. You submit and eventually do. It's been some time since I've been impressed with every sip and bite at a restaurant. How do I know? Well, I go for a second sip or bite right after the first and then I say "Wow, this is amazing, I haven't tasted anything like this before".
The Barca Gintonic is on the Spanish Gin and Tonic section of the cocktail menu. It was the perfect drink to start a meal. I was surprised with the presentation of this cocktail. The cocktail arrived with the gin and the garnishes in the glass. The Fever Tree tonic was poured table side. Lastly the server gently shook the drink in a circular fashion on the table. What a great conversation starter.
