It's ideal for any customer as a private dining area or lounge. The main dining room is large enough to accommodate any size group, and it is noted for its lively atmosphere. Artu has become a go-to for tourists and our North End neighbors alike since those February days in 1992. Do you want Artu to host your next party or event?

Coquette serves fresh seafood, a hot-and-cold raw bar, flatbreads, and upmarket libations in a relaxed ambiance inspired by the flavors of the Basque Country along the Spanish-French coastline. Coquette, which sits cross-legged and sipping a martini on the ground floor of the new Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport, is right across the street from the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, so it'll be a popular spot for visiting professionals to meet for a nightcap before retiring to a room upstairs. Coquette is also the newest addition to COJE Management Group's growing portfolio, which includes Yvonne's, Mariel, Ruka, and Lolita, among other popular, vampy locations for fashionable dining, drinking, and socializing in Boston. Expect Coquette's lovely decor and delectable menu, which features twists on coastal French cuisine, to draw a large number of residents seeking for love at first sight and bite. Inside the 240-seat restaurant, a delicate and beautiful pastel-leaning color scheme of blues, pinks, and lavender has been used. The walls have a slightly iridescent sheen that reminds me of the inside of a nicely formed oyster shell, and there are dried, preserved flowers displayed in seasonal, installation-like groupings developed by East Olivia of New York. Meanwhile, a soundproofed ceiling above the four-sided bar is covered in a replica of François Lemoyne's The Apotheosis of Hercules, a rococo ceiling painting at Versailles known for its beautiful detail (as well as the tortured genius of the artist, who fell on his own sword shortly after). The dining room mural, which is a reproduction of Art Nouveau icon Alphonse Mucha's The Seasons, a series of paintings of nymph-like females representing spring, summer, fall, and winter, has been given a modern aesthetic flourish.
