UPDATE: Coquette, the French spot at Fifth and Bainbridge Streets, is closed tonight (TUES) after an elderly woman's car crashed into the restaurant on the Bainbridge Street side. Owner Cary Neff said she was taken away in an ambulance. He said city inspectors suggested that he block off the area and get it repaired. He'll do that. Wednesday (10/3), meanwhile, should see the green light for his liquor license. So he'll be buying his alcohol while supervising the repairs. If fate holds, he says, there's a 95 percent chance that Coquette will be running, bar and all, Wednesday night.
