Cocotte is where I like to go for brunch when all my favorite places in the neighborhood (Rosewater, Stone Park) are too crowded. Endless cups of nice strong drip coffee and a basket of free coffee cake tide you over till your food arrives. The pricing is a little weird - some dishes, like the pear and gorgonzola salad with walnuts, are tasty but overpriced; others are fine - but don't worry, your grad school friends will be able to find something to eat with a nice high calories-per-dollar ratio. The exposed brick walls and pew-style booths are wonderful. Serving the ice water in those mason jars is a nice touch. Don't ever eat brunch at Belleville or Moutarde if you can get a seat here instead.

Having been there three times in the span of a month, there was just something charming about this place and refreshing in comparison to our dispppointing visit to Moutarde down the street. On the weekends, it's a heavy crowd but not too noisy, and for the most part the service is on their toes. On my second visit, I had the French Onion soup, which was a bit too salty, but then the second course of pork tenderloin was perfectly cooked, coupled with the mashed sweet potatoes and a portbello sauce that delighted my palette. I also recommend the foie gras and the creme brulee, which I cannot leave without enjoying after an overall pleasant dining experience. Pro: Great Creme Brulee, friendly service, welcoming and unpretentious atmosphere Con: Wait staff seemed a litlte unconcerned about a good wine pairing for your meal; also with rustic ambience comes uncomfortable wooden chairs and booths.

Cocotte is little bit of a coquette

Charming and cozy, but nothing truly unique. Food was pretty good, but the service left me frustrated. The waiter seemed to be playing hard-to-get--as in hard to get my check dealt with. A nice, enjoyable spot, but really nothing that I haven't seen before.
