Fond Farewell to a Favorite
My experience at Cockscomb was filled with amazing memories. It's truly one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I am so sad to see it go. Thank you for everything, Cockscomb. You will be missed.

Delicious Duck Confit & Gracious Donation
I had their duck confit and kale salad to go. This was because they graciously donated food to health care workers at the local children’s hospital. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Oh and everything was delicious, especially the duck! Will definitely try to go in person in the future.

Amazing Food and Attentive Service!
I had this place on my list for a while and finally made it here last night. We tried the Kumiai oysters, surf and turf (steak and scallops), squid, and pig ears. Wow! All items were amazing. I could not stop raving while eating these dishes. The oysters were probably the best oysters I've had in a long time. Their carrots are absolutely delicious; definitely get this as a side if you can. Our server was so attentive and my water glass never went empty. Will definitely come back.

Overpriced Food, Limited Options
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The food was very overpriced for the quality offered. Additionally, the selection of options for vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary needs was basically zero. It was the first time I've ever sent food back to the kitchen.

Delicious Dinner with a Few Quirks
My experience at the restaurant was a delightful one, starting with some enjoyable happy hour drinks. I tried the negroni, which was a bit sweeter than expected. For appetizers, the crispy pig ears and a dozen oysters were absolutely delicious, and I particularly enjoyed the vinaigrette. For the main courses, both the sea urchin pasta and the cauliflower were very tasty. The pasta could have been improved with a more al dente texture, and the cauliflower was good but spicy. I finished with a very fruity and refreshing bowl of fruit with lemon curd and croutons, a unique dessert experience. 👍 The service was excellent, and I would definitely come back again!

Amazing Service, Uninspiring Food
My experience at this restaurant was a tale of two halves. The service was absolutely amazing; dishes arrived and were cleared away like magic, and everyone was great. I'd give the service five stars! We ordered a kale salad, a pasta dish, roasted sweet potato, "cheesy tots, " and some drinks. Overall, the food was just okay. The pasta was a little gummy and lukewarm. The sweet potato was mono-textured and mono-flavored. The kale salad was fine. The cheesy tots were cold in the middle. The price point is where the experience falters. For $180 with tip, the service and space were wonderful and as expected, but the food was uninspiring : /

Amazing Happy Hour Grilled Cheese!
I must be clear that I have only visited for happy hour, but I absolutely love their happy hour menu. The $1 oysters were the initial draw, but the frites and, OMG, that grilled cheese sandwich is the best I have ever had. I initially scoffed when I saw it was drizzled with honey, but after one bite, I understood. The combination of the savory cheese and the sweetness of the honey was AMAZING. My friends rave about the crispy pig ears, which as a pescatarian, I won't touch. The house merlot, a happy hour offering, is really good. The only bummer is that happy hour only lasts 1 hour, so get there early to secure a seat. The bar area is tiny.

A Culinary Experience That Goes to 11!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional, truly going 'to 11' in Spinal Tap fashion. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The Sweet Potato with smoked yogurt was a particular standout and the crowd favorite.
