Serving modern French cuisine in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle. We didn’t find anything terribly French about it. Service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Plating was lovely. Ambience fun and comfortable. The food was good – nothing exciting or innovative, though.
We tried: The bread service (orange butter FTW, but they lose points for serving cold bread). The French onion soup was perfect – it smelled as good as it tasted. The leafy green salad was meant to serve two. I found it too heavy on the vinegar, so too acidic, needing sweetness to balance it. (Perhaps some dried cranberries or sliced apples or pears would have helped.) My seared scallops were cooked well, and the peppercorn sauce was sweet to balance the salty of the seafood, but none of the vegetables on the plate were worth eating. His Heritage pork chop was good, though it lacked seasoning. Dessert was a success: He had the chocoloate cremeux and the only complaint about my lemon meringue tart was that I wanted the other half of it.
Given the wide variety of new restaurants left to try in the Seattle area, there is probably no reason to come back to Le Coin any time soon, but worth giving it a try if you haven’t already. We are not wine people, but they displayed a large collection.
