You can smell this place walking on the street. Their wood fire grill is the first thing you notice and the kitchen is open to the atmosphere. We couldn’t resist the 32 oz tomahawk rib eye. They bring it out to you before slicing. Perfect medium rare and well seasoned. Good cocktail bar as well. Seemed like service could have been more prompt but everyone was very nice. Definitely recommend.
Excellent food and service. The tapas are flavorful and paella is amazing,

Every single plate was better than the last. The albondigas a la feria were amazing and so tenderly cooked (we ordered them with every round) and the cogollos salad was bright and delicious.

The ambiance and overall service of Coqueta is outstanding, but the food quality just didn't measure up to Bottega, it's sister restaurant. We had octopus and seafood paella and the seafood in general was overcooked and lacked flavor. One OUTSTANDING dish was the Croquetas de Pollo - and we agreed at the table that we could have eaten those all night long. Also, the flan and churros were amazing. And again, both food and wine service was outstanding. Maybe it was just an "off" afternoon for seafood, but I still have high expectations from any of the Chiarello restaurants.

Excellent tapas in the Napa Valley! We had a wonderful and delicious dinner at Coqueta. The food, the service and the atmosphere were all wonderful and the space is unique and beautiful. We sat outside on a winter evening and it was nice and toasty due to the heaters! The wine selection is also amazing. Highly recommend if you are looking for a unique dining experience and an alternative to CA cuisine. Thanks to Pedro, Karina and the Coqueta NV Team!

We were blown away by the potatas bravas! Very nice contrast between the fluffy pillow inside and the crazy light crunchy outside. This was our favorite item! A must get! The croquetas were a close second: creamy, crispy and the citrus pairing was unique and worked well!We also got the eggplant (more honey, cheese and bready than eggplant), octopus (smoky and tender), and some pinxtos: the date and the anchovy, both just ok.Tapas style was a perfect choice for us at 3pm. Excellent service by Karina! Fast and friendly. My seat had some leftover rice on it from the last guest and the chandelier above us had major cobwebs! Someone needs to do a better job cleaning here.

Enjoyed the sangria but the food portions were way too small for the price. I'll stick to my usual tapas place in SF where for half the price we get twice as much. The service was friendly.
The food is consistently delicious but this time the service was awful. It took us over an hour to get two small appetizers. No one gave us an update on our order and when we asked, the server told us that the paella dishes were given priority. We asked for a couple more pieces of bread for the shrimp sauce and they charged us for it, despite the long wait. Most restaurants would have given us the bread free of charge given the wait. We left hungry- we wanted to order more but couldn't tolerate the wait. There were 2 chefs too.
Yountville is full of wonderful culinary hangouts and restaurants. Coqueta is one of them where we had lunch in between wine tastings during our fifth day of our Napa trip. Their small tapas menu was perfect for what we wanted to order for lunch without descending into a food coma.We grabbed a couple of seats at the small bar area that had a nice glass pane view of downtown Yountville. We enjoyed delicious cocktails like the Membrillo. Given how hot it was that day, the selection was a refreshing one and a nice change from all the wine we had been tasting.For lunch, my wife and I enjoyed some delicious Jamon Serrano and Cana de cabra, which really hit the spot. While I could only enjoy the Albondigas a le feria because it had bread crumbs (but was absolutely divine), the Huervos nacionales were incredibly tasty.The spot was one of the true highlights for us and a fantastic place to enjoy small tapas and crafty and refreshing cocktails.

You will leave hungry. ambience was amazing. location was amazing. however the food was subpar, 20$ for 2 sliders, this is more one of those places that you take your in laws to, so you can show them you're making good money. wouldn't recommend to someone if you're actually in the mood to eat. because you will leave hungry. dishes were extremely small, like bird food pretty much. However the paella was good, but for 60$? i think there's better deals out there. Service was impeccable. However we noticed that our waiter kept filling up our waters extremely rapid. maybe to make us feel full?

Had a great experience at Coqueta in San Francisco so I decided to go to the one in Napa. Maybe I had too high expectations but the food was subpar and it was paired with terrible "service" aka order taker. Most likely won't return to either.
Great restaurant with amazing, creative Spanish style cuisine. Waiting staff was also amazingly attentive and kind. They ran out of coffee and the server even went next door so I had one with a fun cheesecake pop dessert. Definitely recommend!

I love the little town of Yountville, with its many nice bakeries, chocolate makers, shops and fantastic restaurants. There are several renowned restaurants in this town and this Tapas Restaurant from Michael Chiarelli, a sister restaurant to Chiarelli 's famous Bottega next door, is a perfect spot to stop for a lite but very interesting lunch or dinner.I visited with my sister and we enjoyed their tasty cocktails which the waitress/bartender made to order to our tastes - it was great service ?. We also had some tasty tapas, I particularly enjoyed the deviled eggs, but that is usually a favorite of mine.The restaurant itself is very comfortable and classy. It has an open feel to it so that you can dine outside, either in front or on the patio in the back. The interior is so very comfortable and pleasant.
Amazing!!!
