Remarkably, it was a side dish--a testament to how Chef Rachael treats every single component on the plate with meticulous care. When community members ask for recommendations that deliver both an exceptional meal and an outstanding beverage program, this is always the first destination I suggest. The menu beautifully balances signature cuts of steak with a thoughtful understanding that other proteins matter, offering expertly prepared chicken, fresh fish, and dedicated vegan main options. I truly believe "the bites" and "the sides" are equally treated as stars, and I always go back for the seasonal salad and crispy potatoes. The beverage program is equally legendary, offering an extraordinary opportunity to try rare whiskies from all over the world and different eras, where every single pour carries its own unique story. When I brought my partner in for his birthday, the owner asked a few questions of his whiskey interests, and customized a flight for him. It is a nicer, upscale restaurant that remarkably retains a deeply grounded community feel, and in my experience local recurring guests are remembered with genuine hospitality.

We also had the tuna tartare tostada and the chicken Caesar flautas. The tartare was good as well but does not compare to the dry aged tuna tostada. The flautas were surprisingly good, and were great to add some volume to this otherwise light meal while being a cheaper option from the menu. I would absolutely get them again. Great crunchy corn shell, creamy cheesy chicken filling, fresh crunch Caesar dressed romaine on top, with an unexpected kick from some salsa verde. Despite the high quality of this food, including gorgeous plate presentation, this place feels down to earth and casual. The light beers offered by Fair Isle (since La Marea is inside Fair Isle Brewing) were a perfect compliment to the fish. Truly the best seafood meal I've ever had in Seattle.

On vacation stopped by Le Coin while visiting Seattle, and we had a wonderful experience. As a guy in my late 40s, I appreciate a restaurant that focuses on quality food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere, and Le Coin delivered on all three. The restaurant has a warm, inviting feel without being overly formal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I started the evening with an Old Fashioned, and it was excellent smooth, well-balanced, and a perfect way to kick off the meal. For dinner, we had the fresh fish and potato croquettes. The fish was incredibly fresh, cooked perfectly, and full of flavor. You can definitely tell they use high-quality ingredients. The potato croquettes were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired wonderfully with the meal. What I appreciated most was that we never felt rushed. We were able to sit back, enjoy our food and drinks, and take in the atmosphere. It's the kind of place that's great for a date night, special occasion, or simply enjoying a nice meal while visiting Seattle. If you're looking for excellent food, great cocktails, and outstanding service in Seattle, Le Coin is definitely worth a visit. I'll be sure to stop by again the next time I'm in town. read more

If you're looking for a fun and fabulous brunch spot in Seattle, you absolutely have to check out Le Coin in the Fremont area! This amazing French restaurant is perfect for anyone who loves good food, great drinks, and an intimate boutique atmosphere that just oozes charm. First of all, let's talk about the food - it's simply amazing. The omelets are to die for, and the burgers are super juicy and flavorful. And don't even get me started on the drinks - the cocktails are so delicious, you'll want to try them all! But what really makes Le Coin stand out is the vibe. It's got this intimate, boutique feel that just makes you feel cozy and relaxed. It's perfect for a low-key weekend brunch with friends or a special occasion with that special someone. And the service is just as amazing as the food and atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and attentive, always making sure you have everything you need and offering recommendations to help you get the most out of your dining experience. Overall, Le Coin is one of the best brunch places in Seattle, and a must-visit destination for anyone who wants to have a good time while enjoying fantastic food and drinks. So grab your crew, head on down to the Fremont area, and get ready to have some fun at Le Coin! read more

We've been to Le Coin several times before and used to love it, but this visit was extremely disappointing. We were served oysters that were clearly not fresh -- they had an unpleasant odor and a mushy, almost porridge-like texture. Completely unappetizing and frankly, unsafe to eat. Even more concerning: we clearly informed the staff that my partner has a mustard allergy, and yet a sauce containing mustard was brought to our table. When we asked the server about the ingredients, they had no idea what was in the dish -- which is unacceptable when someone's health is at risk. The overall attitude of the staff was careless and dismissive, and it felt like they just didn't care. For a place that charges premium prices, this kind of service and food quality is simply not acceptable. We left feeling extremely disappointed. Le Coin used to be a favorite, but after this experience, we're not sure we'll return. read more

Title: A Culinary Journey Not to Miss - Le Coin French Restaurant in Fremont, Seattle! Le Coin is a true hidden gem. From the moment I tasted the Foie Gras, delicately spread over freshly baked bread, I was transported to a world of luxurious flavors. The rich, buttery texture of the Foie Gras with some yummy pink stuff (???) paired perfectly with the warm, crusty bread, created a symphony yummy-ness. Of course, I couldn't resist resist the delectable oysters, which did not disappoint 10/10. The combination of these outstanding oysters, the delectable Croque Madame, and the Foie Gras bread service made for a meal that I won't soon forget. The ambiance at Le Coin is welcoming and casual, with a touch of French charm that enhances the dining experience. The attentive and friendly staff added to the overall enjoyment of the brunch, it was a vibe. Will be coming back! :) read more

Le Coin was a wonderful surprise. Nestled in the hills above Fremont, it feels less like a city restaurant and more like a cozy French country retreat. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and full of flavor, but what really stood out was the overall experience. It's the kind of place where you settle in, enjoy good conversation, and lose track of time over a great meal. Seattle has no shortage of restaurants, but Le Coin has a charm and authenticity that makes it memorable. We left already talking about coming back, which is probably the best compliment we can give. Highly recommended for a date night, special occasion, or simply a relaxing evening with great food and atmosphere. read more

Service: The service at Le Coin was a bit lacking. While I understand that Saturdays can be busy, the staff didn't exactly go out of their way to make us feel welcome. It's the only reason I'm deducting a star from my rating. Ambiance: Le Coin boasts a beautiful ambiance. The decor is both cozy and chic, creating a delightful atmosphere. Food: The food was the highlight of our visit. From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was delicious. I'll definitely be returning for more culinary delights. Please pick: Apple Fritters!!!! In summary, Le Coin is a gem with great food and a lovely ambiance. Just be prepared for service that could use a little more warmth. read more

I can't speak highly enough of the food and service we received on our visit to Le Coin. What brought me to the restaurant was the cool drink menu which was inspired by one of my favorite shows-The Wire. We were able to reserve a seat at the chefs counter and it was worth it. The chef and other kitchen staff were amazing. The interacted with us, answered with questions etc. The octopus is absolutely phenomenal and so was the pork chop and sablefish dish.

It sounded like a fun drink, but I was tipsy before our first dish arrived and I didn't even finish the drink. Oyster Shooters- Cool concept, not great execution. If we are adding fun things like Mezcal and Jalapeno vinegar I was thinking something magical would happen in my mouth. Instead, my tastebuds were seared and my stomach was questioning if it would keep everything down. This is a hard pass. Oysters: They go from sweetest to most briny on the menu. So we got top two sweetest, followed by two in the middle and the last two. It was fun because we were really able to tell a difference in taste this way. I found out Im a sweeter oyster gal while my husband enjoyed the brinier one. With our oysters we got a glass of the NV Azimut Cava Brut Nature-excellent with all of the oysters! We will get this glass again. Next, clams. This is a MUST GET! The broth was outstanding and a different vibe from your typical "clams in white wine broth". Next, Pork Belly. I usually love Pork Belly, and this was mentioned as a must try a lot in the reviews, so that's why we got it. But the Pork Belly is definitely Pork Belly-ing here. Super rich (normal), and the accompanying flavors were strong and also fatty. It was a little heavy for us on this night. Great option if you don't like seafood, but if you do, go for the Halibut instead. We had a couple next to us who got the Halibut and I could smell that we missed out on that dish. So I would highly recommend you get the Halibut (even though we never tried it. I can just tell it's amazing). Dessert was Spiced Chocolate Pot De Creme. Again, fantastic! I honestly wasn't expecting this to be so good but the chef hit it out of the park. Really this review is more so I can remember what I got and liked/didn't like and can order the winners again. Because we will definitely be back!

Nothing that really wowed me in terms of quality or flavor. The mashed potatoes felt like something from a cheap cruise ship dinner. Two ppl was over $200 and we didn't even order drinks. Service was genuinely good, though. Our server was attentive and friendly the whole time, so that part I can't complain about. But honestly, for the price, it doesn't compare to other steakhouses around Seattle. You can find better quality for the same money or less elsewhere. Good service alone isn't enough to make up for so-so food and weak value. Don't recommend overall.
