    We came here for a special Father’s Day dinner and unfortunately had a very frustrating experience from start to finish. When we arrived, we were handed a pre-fixe menu with no prices listed, and no one came to explain anything for at least 15 minutes. I wasn’t sure if there was a regular menu or not. When I finally asked for a drink menu, it took forever to arrive—only after I had to remind the waiter again. We waited over an hour just to receive our appetizers, and then another full hour for our entrees. The waiter kept coming by to say the food was “coming,” but it clearly wasn’t. We didn’t complain at first, but after two hours I had to get up and speak to him directly. Only then did our food arrive, just a few minutes later. That alone tells you a lot. After eating, I asked to pay right away. The bill included a 20% gratuity that the waiter claimed was “automatically included.” However, I had already looked at their website beforehand, and it clearly said gratuity is optional—even on the Father’s Day menu. When I brought that up, he eventually removed it. He also added a bottle of water to our bill that we never ordered. Once we paid, the waiter actually followed us out of the restaurant to defend himself, saying it wasn’t his fault and that he just works there. Meanwhile, the manager overheard this and made it very clear—with his body language and attitude—that he didn’t care to step in or take accountability. He walked past us, didn’t say a word, and went straight to a phone call as we were leaving. The food was decent, but definitely not worth the $200 we paid for two appetizers, two glasses of wine, and two entrees—especially considering the lack of service, communication, and professionalism. I do not recommend this restaurant. It was a stressful and overpriced experience on what should have been a relaxing night.

    The restaurant did not advertise there would be a pre fixed menu for Father’s Day when booking the reservation or when we arrived. Typically, if there’s a fixed menu it’s displayed before booking the reservation. We didn’t find out until we had been seated by the hostess and given the menu. When we asked the waitress she stated that other customers had complained about the same thing but that the restaurant was only offering the Fathers Day menu. Reluctantly, we proceeded to order. A few minutes later I got up to use the restroom to discover some tables had items off the standard menu such as coconut shrimp and seafood tower etc. We asked the waitress about this she seemed perplexed and asked if we wanted to speak to the Manager. Upon speaking with him he said the customers we saw with those items ordered from the bar not a table…which made no sense considering the waitress had just told use they were not available at all. The manager was not apologetic, and to be honest a bit brash. Based on this, we decided to leave and cancel our order. We will never go back to this restaurant….very poor customer service and lack of communication. Save your money and find another place to dine. Don Coqui leaves a lot left to be desired….save yourself the trouble. After leaving we drove to Bayonne and dined at Americano where the food was absolutely superb, 5 star customer service, classy, and beautiful high end decor.

    No one told me there was a preset menu for Father’s Day. I hardly ate any of the choices on the menu. I was so embarrassed bringing my partner there expecting more options. The food took a long time.

    Upon our initial arrival, the seat was soiled with food particles, but a staff member promptly addressed the issue by cleaning and placing a protective covering on the seat, which was a commendable gesture. The waiter was also exceptional, showcasing impressive knowledge and helpfulness, ensuring that we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The ambiance was equally elegant. Thank you so much for allowing my husband to have a really good dining experience as well for Father’s Day beautiful.

    The staff was attentive and hospitable, but the overall experience felt rushed and transactional. We weren’t allowed to order a second round of drinks, and it felt like we were being pushed out as soon as we finished eating. We understand it was a busy Father’s Day, but for the price point, we expected a more relaxed and accommodating dining experience.

    Host sat us down with no menus waiting 15 minutes for one. Then was rushed to order our food. once we received our food never saw our waiter again until we had to go look for him to get the check. Never asked us if we wanted refills never asked us if dinner was okay. My husband sat in front of an empty wine glass pretty much the whole dinner because he only got one cuz that was the only time we saw the waiter. Very bad experience don't recommend. The poor couple next to us was there before us and we did half an hour before they got their food and they ordered way before. Finally when the waiter came around they said to them we never got our food and the waiter said oh the kitchen must have made a mistake.

    Great staff! From the Professional and courteous security officer in front to the most polite waiter (Marlon) and fast bartenders making the best rum punch 10/10 service. Spectacular views with the best live salsa music. Owner Jay Gonzalez has a good one here! Must visit. Only thing I would say is maybe the Hostesses can be a tad more attentive and welcoming. However, def a place i will visit often!
