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. 😊
