    We showed up for an early dinner, so could only order from the midday menu, but we were not disappointed. Our appetizer, Fried Brie, was amazing. Bold flavors and made to perfection. We then turned to our sandwiches, one chicken one burger. Both were cooked perfectly. The flavors melded together in one delicious bite after another. The hand cut fries were excellent as well; not soggy at all but not over cooked either. We were very pleased with our first time at Coco’s and will certainly be back again.

    The ambience was weird. Some of the tables had tablecloths, and the ones without seemed like those in a cafeteria. The music was low key, but turned out to be the top 40 on the radio, whereas the decor was less modern and cutting edge and more "parents at the club," the golf club that is. I took my sons and a girlfriend of one them, and the girlfriend had a salad with salmon. She said it was good. I will say it was enough for 4 people, but she ate it all. The salmon looked overcooked to me, but she said it was not. My sons liked the pork and the charcuterie board. The cheeses on the board were blue/Bleu cheese and brie, nothing fancy, but they were very good. We also all agreed the chicken was the best dish (smoked or roasted) and the risotto lacked flavor. I was not impressed with the Riesling we tried from Oregon, but that's on Oregon. The bottle was beautiful, however. Service was also a little off. The restaurant was not full this windy Saturday night at 8, but on a couple of occasions we wondered why the wait person had not come back to check on us (we waited to ask for the check for about 5-7 minutes, even though there are only about 12 tables in the room and you can see them all in one glance). We also were without water for a bit before someone noticed. They serve water in carafes on the table and tiny 4 oz glasses that are cute. In a way, the menu was the biggest issue for me. It was wordy; it was hard to find categories - most of it was wine and cocktail listings - and the offerings seemed boring compared to what I saw on Yelp, which I now know we're because Coco's is trying to copy the winning formula of The Winds Cafe in YS, which is a favorite of mine. It fails in the ambience on that mark. It should remove the Oregon Reisling as too sweet and heavy, rather than crisp and clean, and perhaps block the lights toward the kitchen from the diners. The menu we can deal with. The noise level was excellent. Prices reasonable.

    A nice experience with an above average ambiance. Some of the food was above average. My pork shank was very fatty. A disappointment. I would go back but I would be a little cautious about what I order. Did not live up to their price level.

    Food was awesome: rib eye was cooked perfectly. Squash bolognese was good. Shrimp with linguine was awesome. Great Caesar salad. Chocolate tart was a must. Only thing: it is not traditional Italian more like nuvo Italian or contemporary Italian.

    Our only complaint is that once we were seated at our table, we waited for over 10 minutes and no one helped us until we asked the server if she knew who our server was and she said, "oh, you all had drinks so I thought someone else had taken the table." She was wonderful and comp'd our desserts as an apology! We had a wonderful meal and dessert! It was a great way to spend an anniversary dinner!! And thanks to our server!!

    We were out celebrating birthdays. We were expecting a nice dining experience. But, they sat us in the bar area, close to the outside door. The space was loud and not as comfortable as the dining area. They had paper placemats that were also the menu and the lighting over us was poor so that reading the menu was a challenge unless you held it up out of the shadows. We spent about $200 and while the food was good I was left unimpressed by the service and the atmosphere. Next time I’ll choose somewhere else when wanting a upscale dining experience. It was a disappointment.

    Pork Shoulder was over cooked and the Ribeye was extremely tough. Had to waive server down just to get another round of drinks. And, had to walk my credit card up to her so we could get out of there. Food has always just been average, but last night was enough to keep me from coming back.

    Everything about Coco’s is amazing. The ambiance, the staff, the drinks and food- becomes an experience that hasn’t disappointed me yet. It’s moderately priced but holds a strong menu that can meet everyone’s palettes. And the food is always well designed from appearance to taste. The fried brie is a MUST. It’s a delightful appetizer that everyone can enjoy. Thank me later. 😊
