Gastown—(November 18, 2019) Coquille Fine Seafood has been around now for a minute now after initially opening to much anticipation and fanfare thanks to its sterling pedigree inherited from team behind L'Abattoir and their renowned "slaughterhouse" restaurant just a few blocks away.

Since its inception, I have always enjoyed spending time in Coquille's regally cavernous and nautically ornate 4,100-square-foot dining room (seating a hundred) with every detail or aspect complementing the whole sea theme to a tee.

The tuna crudo and its foie gras were particularly decadent in their simple tastiness while the gnocchi felt classically comforting in its many flavours.

On a final (somewhat ironic) note, the seafood restaurant is reportedly for sale less than two years after its opening.
Update: Sadly, Coquille has confirmed it is indeed closing at the end of the month/year.
