It was very hectic and noisy while we were there. The entire dining room was being used for a wedding reception and the bar area was too noisy to have a conversation. There weren't enough menus to go around and we had to share. Food was fine but nothing special. I know they just changed owners so I'll probably go again. Was there recently for lunch and sat outside. That was very pleasant but not an option Saturday night with the heavy rains.

Need to do something about noise level. Too loud. Need to bring back special nights like, 1/2 off hamburger Tuesdays.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. Located inside a Columbia neighborhood, next to a golf course. They offer both outside and inside seating and both have an upscale, calm environment. The service and food is amazing. I highly suggest a visit.

We went during Howard County Restaurant week for dinner. They offered 3 courses for $35. The food was tasty, but VERY small portions. I had enough but my husband was still hungry after dinner. We will give them another chance and, hopefully we will be more impressed.

We went to Coho Grill for Restaurant Week, so there was a limited menu (which we knew about beforehand). The food was very good, but not excellent. My salmon was a little too 'crusty,' but tasted good. The cucumber/radish side was nothing special. The chicken and corn porridge was very good. The grilled-peach salad and the two desserts we had - peach cobbler and chocolate mousse - were very good. Our service was a little strange. Three different people waited on us at various times, and that caused some duplication of effort. The service was also a little slow at times, but not unreasonably so. I'm not sure if this multiple server routine is "standard" at Coho or if there was a problem with our particular table. In any case, our bill was less than expected, and although no one mentioned it we’re pretty sure they adjusted our bill due to the service. So, kudos to them for that. All in all, great value to try someplace we hadn’t been for several years. Only wish the weather had been cooler so we could have sat outside.

While the food here tasted great, it wasn't worth the price per meal. We went here as a double date, and of the four of us, only one person had enough food to feel full after the meal. I don't know why the dinner plate was as expensive as it was for a small (probably 3oz) piece of fish and a cucumber/radish salad, especially considering a large burger with fries that filled the plate cost about half as the dinner plate. The dessert is delicious, and they have a good selection of liquor, but the price of food seemed unwarranted to me.

This used to be a "go to" restaurant for my husband and myself. I think it is going through some growing pains with a new owner, new chef and a new menu. We were offered the Restaurant Week menu and a very limited regular menu. We ordered from the Restaurant Week menu. After almost an hour, our appetizers arrived and less than five minutes later, our meals arrived. we had the appetizers and main dishes on the table all at the same time. One person ordered chicken and salmon was delivered. It was not replaced. During dinner, a glass of wine was ordered and delivered after dessert and coffee was served. As far as the food, it was OK, but nothing special. Nice presentation, very small portions. The salmon was very good, but served with a garnish that was so small, it was basically salmon on a plate. The chicken was good, but the corn porridge served with it sounded better than it tasted. The kale, parmesan, pine nut and lemon salad was basically kale on a plate with a few nuts, hardly any cheese and no lemon. With the new chef, it might take some time to get the menu, service and kitchen together. Will try again, in maybe a year.

We visited Coho during Howard county restaurant week. The restaurant week site had them listed as a $20-25 dinner price point for the event. Checked out the restaurant week menu on Cohos site and was impressed by the 3 course price fixe menu. No price was listed on the restaurant website. When we arrived we received a different restaurant week menu and the price was $35. We did not order from the restaurant week offerings. Server was unfriendly. Food was unimpressive. Location is very lovely. Hope the new owners can get it pulled together. We will not go back.

Coho Grill is very attractive and has a nice atmosphere. It was very noisy though on a Friday early evening (happy hour?) It was just my husband and myself so we had no difficulty in talking and hearing. However, with a larger group, it could be difficult. We both had the marinated steak salad which we enjoyed. We hope to see more variety on the menu next time.
