Great service and tasty food! Came for a wedding anniversary and did a RSVP for 2 people which was easy to book. Ordered: - Brussels 9/10 (good flavor - texture on softer side) - Japchae 9/10 (not standard "japchae" I expected, but menu explicitly lists that it's an udon noodle - this was probably my favorite dish!) - beef tartare 10/10 (needs extra seaweed chips) - Spicy rig 9/10 - Wagyu hot dog bao 6/10 (just not my thing) - pistachio ice cream with chili oil 5/10 (as expected - wouldn't need to order again) - 1 glass of wine - 3 cocktails Total $233 before tip Really like the Asian fusion aspect of the menu and that they switch it up/try new things. Definitely pricey, but we got a good amount of food based on what we ordered and ended up being really full and taking food home. Ambiance is nice - although, I still don't love the little bugs flying around the moss ceiling (a complaint I had from last time I came last year). Parking is normal Cocoa Beach parking. Would recommend parking further and walking since the closer lot is more expensive $/hr read more

Firstly, the restaurant had a great layout. Plenty of areas for groups and smaller parties. The drink menu is well rounded, with a comprehensive wine list, and a fairly extensive bourbon list. The food was extremely well prepared, and presented well. Atmosphere was welcoming and very friendly, with a selection of shareable appetizers, and entries. Will definitely be going back. read more

Fantastic upscale shared plates dinner with an Asian flair at the Backstreet Boys' and bro owned spot in Cocoa Beach. 4.5 stars Food 4.5 Atmosphere 4 Service 3 Cost to worth it rating: 3 (definitely spendier with shared plates ~$25-50) Opentableable: no, on Tock Return worthiness: yes Eve award: best shrimp cocktail Highlights: - Creativity: I've had fusion many times but the way this was done was thoughtful with excellent and unexpected additions. Sauces were off the chart delicious. - Ricotta toast: insanely thick and fluffy perfect pieces of bread topped with dollops of whipped ricotta and chili crisp. Crunchy, smooth, and a bit of spice. The appetizer I didn't know I needed in my life. 5 stars - Shrimp cocktail: probably the best I've had. 5 humongous shrimp perfectly cooked and chilled. Served with a Thai peanut satay sauce that was delectable. Didn't envision this combo and it worked so well. 5 stars - Lamp chips: 3 nice pieces my husband and friend enjoyed. 4.5 stars - Miso cod: solid version marinated as expected with 2 pieces plus bok choy. 4.5 stars - Umami fries: large plate of perfectly crispy curly fries with Japanese spices on top. 4 stars - Mozzarella sticks: long rectangles covered in a panko potato mix. Crunchy and gooey. Paired with ranch and guachong sauce. 4 stars - Artichokes: 3 large lightly fried pieces which looked like chicken wings. Could've been sliced into smaller bites. 3.75 stars - Dining room: modern bougie vibe. Long bar across the length of the restaurant with a few higher tables of in back (shaped like elongated guitar picks) and a banquettes. A living wall ceiling and artsy wooden touches. Midlights - Flank steak: large slices with not too much flavor. Most unremarkable item we had. 3 stars - Water service: need bigger glasses or for them to leave a carafe on the tables as they didn't come by to refill often enough. Being in a tropical location, hydration is important. - Drinks: cocktails sounded fancy but were just ok. Even their version of a smoked old fashion was lacking in the smoke reveal. Wine was also just ok - Waiter kept on calling us sir and ma'am making us feel old and bit uncomfortable Lowlights - Out of few things. their sole bakery item dessert in a brownie I was excited about and 2 out of 7 glasses of red wines read more

Modern, nice, upscale feel with friendly attentive bar staff. The food and margarita were both good. I enjoyed the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken with peanuts. I was there a little early for dinner and was one of only 6 people in the restaurant. read more

Starting off by saying their 20 oz Wagyu is the absolute best steak I've had in the Space Coast and the best I've had in Florida. $140 may be intimidating to some, but it was worth every dollar. The service here is A+ top notch in the industry. They run their production almost as tight as The Bear on the TV Show, YES CHEF! The drinks are unique and poured well. They came out fast, great bartenders on both sides (lounge and restaurant). The food comes out like a production line up of a play...first was some amazing carrots and mozzarella sticks...both absolute stunners. Rolling in next was the outstanding blast of sweet potato tots. The glaze on these is an epic delight. The mountain of mushrooms came out looking good, the mini tacos looked amazing, and then KFC! We had two people in the party order this awesome plate of Korean Chicken, like some General Tso's style nice and spicy. Next out was the Asiago Noodle Pasta entree, it was a hit. Last but not least was that mouth watering beautiful slab of wagyu. Oh what a treat for us all. I was worried at first about this servers suggestion of "sharing everything is how the chef intends it" but the way they present, serve, and flow with the appetizers to meals fills EVERYONE up and was a wonderful surprise of so many different flavors. Two thumbs up to the crew Saturday night, y'all are some rock stars in the kitchen. Get your big boy wallet out, because this fine dining comes at a price that it deserves. $85 in drinks and $210 in food for my wife and I. The best meal we've had in Florida in the five years we've lived here. read more

Wow. What an amazing addition to Cocoa's Culinary scene! Well, perhaps the beginning of it. Lol. My family and I are in Cocoa from Orlando quite often and we have our regular roster of restaurants that we like to go to. But none of them could be considered fine dining or even "cool, foodie" restaurants. Coa Cocoa Beach is the first of that kind here. The second we walked in we were warmly greeted by "Fin", our server. Since it was a slower night, only he and one other server, who was also the bartender, were waiting on tables. Fin had several tables he was juggling ( I think they got busier than they had anticipated), but managed to do it with grace and ease and not only had our food and drinks out quickly and efficiently, but also managed to talk with us and make us feel heard and welcomed. He did this with each table. I've truly never seen a better server. Thank you, Fin, for such an amazing night! We started off with cocktails, and both were incredible. I had the "You are my Fire" and my wife had the "Goodnight moonlight". Mine had just the right amount of smoke- very little. Ha. As for the food, WOW. I started out with the Roasted wild mushrooms- I LOVE mushrooms- and they were amazing. For her entree, my wife had the Miso black cod and it just melted in your mouth. I had the Whole branzino special and it was sooo delicious. It had some peanut Thai type sauce on it which complemented it perfectly. For a side we had the Tempura Fried Artichokes, and I have to say that they were STUPID good. Just lightly fried and amazing. From the service to the cocktails, to the food, to the beautiful interior ( with cool ROPE (?) covered walls) COA was amazing. We'll be back! read more

Coa is an awesome upscale dining and cocktail option in Cocoa Beach! The inside is elegant with a beautiful bar and a tropical wall, and the menu is tapas style and meant to be shared. I have been a few times since they opened, and each time it has gotten better. I personally prefer to get cocktails in the Coa Lounge next door, which often features a DJ. In the main restaurant, I don't love the cocktail selection and prefer to order off menu. The food is delicious-- some of my favorite items were the Thai peanut chicken, the calamari, the vodka pasta, and the giant mozzarella sticks. We ended dinner with fried Oreos, that were so delicious. The service is always great with attentive individuals. Check out my Instagram for a full video review! @centralfloridaeatz read more

Double Down Burger was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, slight spice but not too much. The Carpaccio Sandwich (not pictured) was also fantastic - large size with a generous amount of carpaccio. Would go back for that sandwich. read more

We did the restaurant side for a date (great date place, by the way) and had an awesome time. The drinks were really good and I got some steak and pasta dish that I enjoyed. The waiter was really good and made a lot of recommendations and answered our questions. It's worth checking out and has a different vibe than the other places around it. There's also the bar side of it, closer to the beach entrance, that I'll have to check out. read more

Via is a gem in Cocoa Beach, just the kind of upscale bar we have been needing. Its appetizer menu cools use some additions, but the menu items are well done. read more

Service was great, food is well done and the portions are not as tiny as one would expect. There are a few changes I would make however, and I hope the manager is reading because I want this new business to thrive. First of all, there is a burger on the menu that is not available until 8 PM. And the place closes at 10! This should be available at all times, we eat early like a lot of people and this was a bummer. It's a tease, and it looks like one of the best items on the menu. Also, a lot of these menu items are spicy, and they need to make sure that there's an option for people who aren't into that. Maybe add one more salad or pasta item... Also, the Matcha mocktail was almost undrinkable...literally ground up grass. We would go back. I'd like to try to whipped ricotta and the burger! read more

We went to dinner on Easter Sunday evening. It was not busy at all which we anticipated since everybody did brunch there... Our server was Zach. He was very friendly, very knowledgeable and very attentive to us... We coursed out our meal there for about three hours from start to finish and honestly everything we tried was really great. The timing of the meal was fantastic, The quality of the food, the temperature, the taste... everything great. This place only opened about five weeks ago so all the kinks have been worked out as far as I can see, even the bartender came over to make sure that we liked the cocktails she was making us. Highly recommend & I would definitely go back. read more

I have been wanting to try COA for months, and it absolutely exceeded every expectation. Every time I sell a home in Brevard, my husband takes me to celebrate at a new restaurant. Since my most recent closing was in Cocoa Beach, it only seemed fitting that we finally experienced COA. We started with the Caesar salad, the chopped cheese rice cakes. We had originally ordered the KFC dish, but I have a severe shellfish allergy. Our waitress went above and beyond by coming back to let us know it was fried in the same oil as the shellfish. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and commitment to my safety. Instead, we ordered the 20 ounce New York strip medium rare, and I never imagined my shellfish allergy would end up being a blessing in disguise. It was, without question, one of the best steaks we have ever had. The temperature was perfect, the presentation was beautiful, the flavor was incredible, and it was unbelievably tender. Every single bite was exceptional. To finish the evening, we shared the pistachio gelato, which was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Excellent food is one thing, but outstanding service and genuine attention to your guests make an experience unforgettable. We will absolutely be back. I truly hope this restaurant becomes a long term staple in Cocoa Beach because it deserves to succeed. If the owners are ever looking for additional exposure, I would love to help. We host networking events throughout Brevard at local restaurants and are always looking to support outstanding businesses in our community. COA, thank you for an incredible dining experience. We cannot wait to come back. read more

Pretty small selection and I was expecting more depth of flavor and spice but didn't even experience anything that was medium spice.

We had pre dinner mojitos in the lounge and they were great. The mojitos In the restaurant were not. But our server ordered and picked some up from the lounge for us (different bartenders). Both the lounge and restaurant are beautifully decorated and the lighting just perfect, creating an elegant ambiance. For dinner we had the filet and branzino, both were very flavorful and cooked perfectly. The filet however was very small. We also ordered the trio of sauces for the steak, but not sure we needed it. And we finished with the crème brûlée, which too was excellent. Dinner here is pricier, but worth it if the same quality is consistently delivered. We'll be back and will update our review. read more

Our waitress Carrine did an excellent job making this an exquisite dining experience. The food has immaculate flavors of savory and spicy. The atmosphere makes me feel like I am on vacation, even in my home town. Coa provides a Michelin-star dining experience without needing to even label it as one. Absolutely recommend to anyone visiting the area or others looking to enjoy fine dining in an area lacking it. read more

Last night's dinner was less of a meal and more of a masterclass. Part AI think tank, part real estate power summit, and part culinary adventure. Joining me were Luther from Streamline, a guy who knows more about AI than most sci-fi authors, and Diane from Symplifi, whose fintech brilliance somehow made sense even over cocktails. My wife Alyssa, the barefoot-on-the-beach, contract-slinging ninja from Curri Properties, brought the charm and the martinis (complete with blue cheese stuffed olives that basically made her night). The starters? Absolutely fire. A glazed carrot dish that felt like a spa day for vegetables, Korean barbecue chicken that brought just the right amount of sweet heat, and a Hamachi Crudo that arrived floating in cucumber water like it had just emerged from a high-end Nordic spa--avocado mousse, furikake, and micro-cucumber accents included. Main course? We shared a beastly 20oz NY Strip that needed its own zip code, and a pasta dish that came with a disclaimer: Not for spice wimps. Naturally, Alyssa devoured it while mocking me for waving the white flag halfway through. (Some battles are just not worth the heartburn.) Between the laughs, the AI talk, fintech insights, and beachfront property hot takes, it was a perfect evening of great food and even better company. 10/10 would dine (and get roasted for my spice tolerance) read more

I eat here often. Food is OK. Ridiculously overpriced. It's better than fried food fare from beach adjacent restaurants. Had brunch by myself. Toast eggs and bacon. About $70. No complimentary mimosa and explains why the place was dead on a weekend. Favorite item on the menu is the eggplant. That's it really. Atmosphere makes me feel better being away from my home in NYC but the waitstaff is the only reason I come back. I love food but good service is pretty much why I've gone back. read more

Absolutely amazing dinner - kind of Tapas style - but each dish was inventive and delicious. Staff was expertly knowledgeable about the food and the specialty drinks I enjoyed their take on the Old Fashioned along with the broccoli rabe Caesar and the steak. It was a great meal and I will return. Beware the parking lot across the street-they will steal you money. read more

Lounge was lovely & drinks tasty. The dinner menu had very good, unique food. Unfortunately, our waiter (Finn) was impatient & unkind when we asked questions about the menu. He told us it was "self-explanatory" when we asked about certain dishes. Overall poor attitude. When it was time to pay he wanted our group to pay one single, large check & then sort out on our own other what we owed to each other. We requested separate checks & he made us wait 30 mins despite the restaurant having emptied out. Our group of women will not return. read more

I was hesitant at first with the small plate and sharing concept. I was quickly on board after the 1st plate was brought out. We started with the BBQ carrots and mozzarella sticks. Absolutely amazing. We also ordered the noodles, KFC and sweet pot tots. Each being more impressive than the last. We finished with the Wagyu Steak and let me tell you, I have never in my life had a steak that flavorful and delicious!!! read more

Great ambiance and a chance to dress up. I was only on the lounge side which had Excellent service and nice drinks with Good food.

I had a very disappointing experience at Coa's. Despite the restaurant not being busy, the service was disorganized and inattentive. My meal arrived late with badly burnt potatoes, and my cappuccino never showed up until we were literally walking out the door. ​Due to a dietary restriction, I had a health scare regarding potential cross-contamination. Our original waitress never came back to check on us, so I had to flag down different staff members just to verify the ingredients in my meal. ​The most confusing part was the end of our visit. We had a medical emergency and needed the food to go. After first bringing the food back in a bowl instead of a container, the server finally brought a box but strangely tried to get me to eat out of it right there, even waving the food at me, after we had already explained we were leaving for urgent care. Between the poor food quality and the unprofessional service, I won't be returning. read more

11/10 exceptional! Surprisingly the mocktail was one of the best drinks I have ever had. The calamari was delicious & it was nice to see some variety to a traditional dish. The chopped cheese & king crab tagliatelle are Michelin star worthy! The smoked salmon roe has ALOT of flavor & the chopped cheese rice cake has a little bit of a kick to it, you'll dream about these. Hopefully you live here so you can go back anytime, but if you're on vacation, it would be criminal not to go! Bobby & Finn led us through the menu expertly and elevated the already amazing experience. The black sesame crème brûlée is THE dessert to get. read more

Service here was awesome-- attentive without being overbearing (and non-judgmental to requests like "can I please smell the rhum agricole?"). Servers and bartenders alike seemed both passionate and knowledgeable. Vibes were great, and the interior was beautiful. Even though the space was open it wasn't too loud. Food was overall pretty good but I recommend listening to your server's recommendations. Everything I tried outside of what she recommended was fine, but her recs were *stunning.* read more

A wonderful family dinner at Coa. After all the talk, we decided to give Coa a try. We started at Coa Lounge and enjoyed some handmade cocktails before dinner. Their bartender stirs up some pretty imaginative drinks. I brought a couple bottles of our favorite Cabernet to enjoy with dinner with their corkage fee at $35. The restaurant vibe is refined and laidback. Service was prompt and professional without hovering over our every move. The menu items were imaginative and shareable with our servers timing and pairing each course. We never felt rushed. We are looking forward to the Koko Coa dinner on July 22nd. read more

We were very impressed with coa. Food was absolutely incredible. Every single dish we got was a home run. Wasn't a single thing we didn't like. The chef has a way of making all the dishes work seamlessly together no matter what you order. Our waiter explained how the menu is ever revolving which I thought was almost exciting... made me want to come back again just to see what they'd have next. We sat in the main dining area and all of it felt like a vibe. All together I give this place ten stars if I could. read more

We've been to Coa twice in the past week and the food is absolutely amazing! Party of six foodies and every bite was a culinary journey. The wine list is a huge draw.

Amazing dinner! Not your usual Cocoa Beach bar food - be prepared for savory small plates each one delicious. Our server Corrine was terrific! Drinks were delicious.

Great atmosphere. Stopped for brunch and server made excellent recommendations. Mimosa flight was a lot of fun.

The food was spectacular! The steak had very great seasoning on it! The sides were toppled with sesame seeds, and even though I was allergic my friends were in love with the dishes. The waiters were amazing! They were able to explain the items on the menu, and were happy to take accommodations. The ambience was so nice! It wasn't loud at all, and was a nice cosy space! I'm so happy the dress-code was formal, as it made the restaurant very nice to be in. In the bigger restaurant the ambience is breathtaking! I especially love the moss they had decorated it with! read more
