There is no food served, which I thought there was at time of booking. So initially disappointed, Nonetheless a recommendation of a fantastic pizza place just 2doors away sorted the food issue, and so we ended up having some great food to go with the drinks at Coupette. The staff were knowledgeable about their drinks, and more than happy to make cocktails not on the menu. The cocktails were great, the staff were super friendly and efficient, not over crowding but checking on our table just the right amount. This was my first visit and would most definitely go again and recommend it to other, a very easy 10/10
