“I don’t want you to become the customers’ friend, and they don’t care what your name is or anything about you. I do want you to take care of those customers’ every needs. I want you to interact with them enough to help them with their menu and drink choices. When the food is served and the customer isn’t eating it, find out why. If it’s not right, fix it. If it’s not what they expected, make it right.”

Urban Food Group website is still hush-hush (or they’re too busy to update) on menu and such for Coquette.

Average entrees are $18, but you can get away for a lot less than that. This is very simple, technique-driven cooking, using great ingredients. The service will be as professional as you’ll find in the Triangle — it may not be perfect right away, but it takes a few weeks to figure out who can cut in on the floor and who can’t.

It is definitely the philosophy for more upscale restaurants. Is Coquette intended to be upscale or more every day French dining?

I’ve always thought that Urban Food Group’s restaurants had the most impressive service I’ve ever had in Raleigh (especially their flagship, Fraziers). To read the quotes from their training definitely explains it.
