Went for Christmas Eve. Food and drinks and service were good but definitely not worth what we were charged.

Such a lovely dining experience at Cochon, hard to say what my favorite bite was. We went for a work dinner and had a party of ten, but the service was still attentive and prompt. Great selection of wine, and extremely fairly priced per bottle. The atmosphere is sophisticated but not uptight, great for date nights. We will definitely be back.

I'm still a major fan of this gem of a restaurant. It has everything, atmosphere, cocktails delicious food, exceptional food.

Great food, excellent ambiance, exceptional craft cocktails and fantastic service. Cute place well with the visit!!

Updated review for our anniversary celebration at this fabulous restaurant where I knew we would enjoy a scrumptious meal. First we started with bone marrow for each of us, so delicious. The blueberries were perfect on top. Don't judge us until you've had it because once you do then you'll know what we're talking about. Followed by fried oyster salad for me and a bean soup with ham for hubby. Then I had the Rockfish special while Hubby had the Duck. It became very quiet as we each enjoyed our meals. The best way to judge a restaurant is to see if there are live flowers or not at each table. Yes, Cochon on 2nd does indeed have them. The rose has a pleasant scent. If the restaurant doesn't have live flowers or if they're wilted or worse, plastic then proceed with caution. That's what my husband just taught me and he's a very smart guy. Oh, yes btw he treated me to this expensive meal.

Finally get to try this fairly new restaurant in Williamsburg. Reservation is a must! This restaurant reminds me Farm-To-Table style restaurant we had in Ibiza Spain with mediocre taste compared to other FTT restaurants we have. Let's talk about the waitresses demeanor. Our waitress is a bit over-bearing, lack of finesse or refined. I thought maybe it's just her, then the waitress on the next table also has the same demeanor. Both are loud and maybe it's just me, but I hate it when strangers call me 'Love'. Do we know each other? FOOD -Octopus Salad 5 stars We started with their appetizer special Octopus Salad (marinated octopus, then charred using their wood grill served with vinaigrette dressing, shaved fennel, capers, olives, cherry tomatoes). Grilling octopus can be a hit and miss. This one certainly grilled to perfection. Instead of ordering the actual dinner, I ordered the Moody's Sticky Ribs and Firecrackers Shrimp, while my husband ordered Beef Tenderloin. -The Moody's Ribs 4 stars It has a delicious taste (the sauce), meat is tender yet crisp outside, but had they marinated the ribs before cooking, I would give them 5 stars on this. Since Covid, my taste has changed significantly. I can't enjoy eating meat (pork, beef, chicken, etc.) that has a strong taste of the meat itself. The ribs taste too 'porky' for me. I had to scoop lots of sauce and mix it in my mouth. The sauce is really good! -Firecracker Shrimp 4 stars Very yummy with an okay balance of sweetness and sourness. I think if they add more sourness, it'll be perfect. Still, it's quite yummy. The wonton wrapper on the bottom is a bit stale. - Beef Tenderloin Green Paper Sauce 4.5 stars Menu is small and didn't want to order out of the specials, this one seems to be the best option out of the menu. I, myself, don't care much about the taste or the flavor of the beef itself. I would rate 3.5 but since it's his dish, I put his rating. Desert A minuscule Crème Brûlée is quite DELICIOUS! 5 stars However, it's not described in the menu of being minuscule. I need 2 ramekins if this is the size! D2.5" x H1.5" ramekins but the actual crème brûlée is only 3/4" high! Is this a French Restaurant??? Updates: When the waitress asked how the desert is, we both said it's very delicious but SMALL. She got us another one on the house.

This was our first visit to Cochon on 2nd. We went for a birthday dinner, and they went out their way to ensure we had an extraordinary evening. Our server was friendly, polite, and very knowledgeable. She spaced our drinks and food so we could relax and savor the offerings in their warm and cozy restaurant. Tables are well spaced, ceilings are very high, and the decor is rustic. Noise is minimal, and we could have an intimate conversation. We started the evening with a French Martini and a Hibiscus Margarita, followed by the fried oysters served in a cocktail glass with remoulade dipping sauce. We also accepted their homemade bread service. It was a seeded bread, which we really liked. All items were delicious! For entrees, we enjoyed the duck paired with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and a rockfish special with Provence sauce and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Both plates came with a square of potatoes au gratin, asparagus, and carrot. The portions were generous and exceeded our expectations. We left room for dessert and ordered the pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream. The description said it included Grand Marnier, but we didn't taste it. We also ordered a Chocolate Martini and a latte, which were excellent! We highly recommend Cochon on 2nd for an excellent meal for any occasion. While prices may be a bit higher than many of the local restaurants, the food, drinks, and experience are truly special.

Last night we went to Cochon on 2nd for my Wife's birthday! We had a little bit of everything it was so good! We had an octopus salad, ribeye with foie gras, duck breast, and an amazing grilled pork chop! The strawberry cobbler and 40yr old Tawny was so delicious. Easily one of my favorite meals I've ever had! Oh and I can't forget about those ribs I'll be dreaming about for a while! The service was top notch, one of the best servers I've ever had. I highly recommend for a date or special occasion!
