Jumbo Crab Au Gratin
ReAnn H.

Happy Galentines Dayyy! So this place was interesting. "French inspired" food with an upscale vibe. Very aesthetically pleasing, and they hit it out of the park with the decor. Let's get into the food... Some friends ordered the deviled eggs which were fishy, steak dishes in which the topping options weren't plentiful i.e butters, sauces etc. When we asked we were told "this isn't a steakhouse". Ummm ok, well it's on the menu, but ok whatever. Asked for certain temperatures, wasn't accommodated. Idk what that side of potato situation was, but you can just skip all of that. Ended up just ordering a crab and spinach dip dish, which was basically an appetizer, but it was decent. Just needed some...seasoning. So needless to say, they didn't really eat anything. I ordered a the crab omelet and pancakes, which was surprisingly the best thing on the menu. They had ton of jumbo lump crab and I was impressed, since most restaurants fall short here. Service was ok, since guy, but I had to countlessly ask for a napkin when we first got there, a glass for my mimosa and the actual mimosa itself. Did they need help today? I feel like this place missed a lot of marks. And I guess since we wasn't feeling it, we got offered some random dessert they also could've kept. Cocody was cool, but the experience and food was so off. It was cute though...

Gorgeous place absolutely gorgeous and the food is really good !!

Do not come here on a Saturday unless you have absolutely nothing to do for the rest of the day. The staff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. Our drink order took over 30 minutes, and we eventually had to ask another waiter for help. Shout-out to Roger, though--he really saved the experience. He was attentive, helpful, and genuinely cared. Our actual server was nice, I guess, but seemed new and a bit lost. Food-wise, this visit was a miss. The crab au gratin was very bland, which was disappointing. The croissants, however, were amazing--easily the best thing we had. The sea bass I ordered never came, and I didn't want to wait even longer for another entrée. To their credit, the manager stepped in and comped us a lobster pasta, which was a solid recovery move. Overall, between the long waits and kitchen issues, it wasn't a great experience--but good management and Roger's service kept it from being a total loss. The manger tried his best to make it right but to many bad thing happened !

Return visit for brunch! (Second review 3 star) First review;(Halloween birthday lunch, which went away when I post the second review 4.4 stars) I've been wanting to try the Cowboy Breakfast plate, that offers two small waffles, 3 eggs, two types of bacons and potatoes. Thors was my first time trying lamb bacon and it was fantastic! I did discover on this visit there no comp bread. All three of My eggs came out poached, when I requested them to be only one poached and the other over medium plus The correction happened but I wasn't clear if it was going to an additional charge (given previous experience and lack of communicated details) I wasn't clear sure to send two back. It was the lack of attentiveness on this visit versus the last visit. I ordered a OJ, (not listed in menu) price is $5 no refills. I didn't get a refill on my water either. And it was less busy than my last visit. And I had the same waiter as before. Which he is really nice. I still look forward to bringing my mom here to visit for her celebration year! Or before that.

Stopped in for happy hour with the girls. The restaurant is beautiful from the patio , to the bar and dining area. We had a couple cocktails and some light bites. While the food was okay we weren't blown away. However do think I need to come back for brunch for sure and maybe dinner. The manager and bartenders were very welcoming and entertaining.

Chicken ratatouille

This was our first time to visit and it did not disappoint. We are going to France next year and are trying all of the French restaurants, Cocody is my favorite so far. The restaurant is stunning, the food is beautiful and delicious. The wine list is amazing, and Mario's knowledge of wine was very helpful. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef Lionel, he recommended the lamb, which we were hesitant about, but it was delicious and the pistachio ice cream I could eat every night! We love the restaurant and the staff so much that we went back and will continue to. Thank you George, Mario, Pena and Chef Lionel for an amazing experience, a'bientot!

Crab Salad Sandwich
April B.

We've had two great weekday experiences at Cocody, which makes this review a little bittersweet. On our lunch visit, everything hit the mark. I had the salmon tartine, Moi ordered the prime cheeseburger, and Brandon had the crab salad sandwich--all excellent. The ambiance is beautiful and very well thought out, and the service during lunch was top-tier. The chef even came to our table, which was a really nice touch. If you want great service, lunch during the week is the move. Unfortunately, Saturday brunch was a completely different story. Our waitress disappeared shortly after we sat down. We had to flag down another staff member just to order drinks and appetizers. Thankfully, Roger saved the day. He's actually the bartender but stepped in to help on the floor, and he was attentive, professional, and genuinely helpful when things were falling apart. The biggest issue: Brandon ordered the Chilean seabass and was instead served lobster pasta. By the time it was sorted out, I had already eaten, and he waited over 30 minutes for his correct dish--which never arrived. He eventually canceled the seabass altogether. Not exactly the brunch experience you hope for. It's disappointing because Cocody clearly can get it right--we've seen it firsthand during weekday visits. But brunch service needs serious improvement. That said, we'll be back--sitting at the bar with Roger, and only on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday. He definitely earned our loyalty.

Outdoor patio is large and spacious
Christine L.

Great brunch beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. Free parking in garage, valet and also self park. Pluses 1) crab au gratin with big chunks of crab was delicious and good amount 2) shrimp and grits big and spicy shrimp with a nice kick 3) duck 4) eclair dessert pretty and sweet treat 5) chocolate dessert yummy 6) birthday treat with macaroon Areas to improve 1) just minor points, table didn't have knives and the server brought some to us 2) water filled our sparkling water with regular water before we could let him know - maybe use different color glass for staff to know ? 3) our food came all at on once spacing it out may have been better We had a delightful time and would be happy to return. They have a big patio outside too. Highly recommended for special occasions!

I was invited to a birthday dinner here. It was my First time in this area. We were able to get parking in the parking right by the restaurant. As we entered we were pleasantly stunned with the beautiful decor. It's amazingly fancy and upscale, from the chandeliers and the assorted wines on the shelves to the wall lighting fixtures, real fancy! Our table was to the side with another group, very private. I can't tell you I remembered our servers because they didn't engage much with us other than taking the orders quickly and leaving. The drinks were amazing and the food was delicious. I had an allergy reaction to something that was on the cheese platter but maybe it was my fault because I didn't tell them I was allergic to honey even though we weren't asked, but hey! Got my meds and I enjoyed the night. There's also a cute area upstairs by the restroom to take pics. It's small and at the time it was only there or the stairs leading up were the only photo ops we saw. Overall a good evening. NB: when we got our invites we were told for a group reservation you're not allowed to pay separately. So we all had to zelle the person who booked and she was able to pay for the table. (This is Just for reference)

Lobster pasta
Lauren E.

Came here for a friend's bday dinner. There was a group of 7 of us. The stairs are so pretty in here but they do not allow you to take photos there. Kind of sad about this! I ordered the lobster pasta and it was really good! Great portions! The sauce had amazing flavor and the presentation was really nice. Overall a pricey restaurant, would come back for a nice occasion! The installations on the ceiling were beautiful. Ambiance would be great for a girls night out, or date night. Parking is easy in the shopping center right in front. The only complaint I had was you had to pay the bill from your phone and the system they used made it really confusing to split/pay bill, and we had problems with that towards the end.

Creamed spinach
Adannaya I.

So, walking in, the decor is absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, in recent months, you are not allowed to take pictures, so that does put a damper considering how pretty it is. But still come picture-ready. In terms of food, I came for dinner, and my steak and creamed spinach were delicious, although I would've appreciated a different sauce pairing or seasoning? The service was also just okay. Considering how nice it is, I would expect more. Overall, I think it is great for special events due to the vibe, but not necessarily the best if you're looking for a dinner with the best food.

The beautiful ceiling decor
Ale A.

The reviews seemed very mixed. Yet, I had a wonderful experience. The staff was kind and attentive. I went for lunch so not super busy. Perfect timing really. The decor is so beautiful, definitely VIBES! It's very light food and I love that, very fresh, and colorful!

Moquita Q.

Traditional French restaurant with some western African flair in terms of the food. Parking is a bit tricky as you will have to pay for parking no matter where you park but it's worth it once you walk in and are greeted by luxurious boutique editorial dinning decor. The bar is a lit marble with a very French inspired layout. A U shape allowing maximum efficiency for the bar tenders. We were seated to the outside patio which was neatly decorated. They were doing a few tastings of tequila, vodka, gin and mezcal. We ordered almost every dish on the happy hour menu. My favorite being the shrimp bites, a wonderful yet slightly spicy curried sauced shrimp. Very delightful. For the drink I had the hibiscus lemon drop with Amara's as the liquor of choice, very smooth, fragrant and elevated the dishes served to us this evening.

Lychee Martin
Moses D.

We went for a quick happy hour treat and it was Nice... the food was amazing and on point. The drinks perfectly crafted by the bartender who was also training someone new. Now for the cherry on top. We got to meet the owners who were just so nice and kind and truly represent the luxury and class just like thier restaurant. Can't wait for my next visit.

Parking is most convenient in the museum garage and the restaurant validates it. We had a reservation for Sunday night around 8 pm and it was surprisingly quiet...probably because it was a later dinner. The HRW menu was $55 for three courses. I started with the hamachi crudo which was light and fresh. It The passion fruit and peaches and I loveee a raw fish + fruit combo. It was so good! For my entree, I ordered the chicken. I rarely order chicken at restaurants, so I was a little skeptical but it did not disappoint. It was perfectly cooked, juicy, and not dry at all. It came with cashews and chili crunch on top which added the perfect texture and flavor. I loved how they elevated a simple dish. For dessert, I chose Le Fraisier, a vanilla Chantilly sponge cake and it was easily my favorite course. Not only was it delicious, but it was absolutely stunning!!! almost didn't want to eat it because it was so pretty! The service was also amazing. Our waiterRuben was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to make conversation with us. Every staff member who stopped by was equally knowledgeable about the food and the wines we ordered which is always appreciated when visiting somewhere for the first time. Overall, I was extremely impressed by the food, atmosphere, and service. It definitely lived up to its MICHELIN star status. Tens across the board!!!

We started with the French onion soup and deviled eggs. French onion soup was good with the appropriate amount for gruyere and bread and soup. The deviled eggs was their signature appetizer. It was good but not as silly as others we have had. The trout caviar gave it a nice pop and taste. For mains, we ordered the steak frites and short rib beef bouginon. Presentation-wise, the NY strip was sliced and had extras like rosemary butter, grilled garlic and onion. The bad is that it looked and tasted like a cheap cut of NY strip. There was sinew running halfway in the middle of the steak so made it tough to chew. I started discarding those pieces. The fries were delicious... and we ordered the truffle version with an upcharge. For the beef bouginon, the beef was tender but came in one big chunk. I've not see it served that way before. Beef was stringy and considering it's supposed to be short rib, it was lean IMO. The stew was decent with chunks of potato, carrot and pearl onions. For dessert, we ordered the Profilotores and Blueberry parfait. Thought the Profilotores was yummy! Paired with big scoops of ice cream makes it had to beat. The parfait was a soft cheesecake with big blueberry and sauce for toppings. It was a good choice... delicious as well. Overall, ambiance and service were great! The food esp the mains were a disappointment. Hope they spend a little more for a better cut of beef. Hard to justify going back unless somebody asks to go. Giving 4 stars as ambiance and service were 5/5 and food were 3/5.

Every dish was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. To end the evening, we followed Alberto's recommendation and ordered the chocolate soufflé, served with vanilla ice cream.

I went during lunch, and it wasn't too busy, which was a plus. We made a reservation because I had heard this place gets packed. I got the potato croquette, the steak frites (which was +$24), and the chocolate dome. The potato croquette was phenomenal, and I really enjoyed it. It was crispy with a soft interior, and the sauce tasted like a tomato bisque, which paired really well with it. The steak frites, on the other hand, was not good. I'm used to steak frites being cut already, which isn't a big deal, but this steak was WELL DONE when I ordered medium rare. The waitress did offer to make me another one since I only ate two bites, but I don't like sending food back. So, I just kept it, didn't eat it, and still paid for it. :( The chocolate dome was good. The flavors were decent, and I liked the texture. The cappuccino was bland and boring. I don't think I'll be going back here.

The pastry case was so light and flaky, really tied each bite together. And that sauce, bottle it. Lastly, dessert. This apple tart was indeed fine. The ice cream brought sweetness to the tart without overpowering the apples, and not a crumb was left. Service really allowed for the meal to be enjoyed.

There were lots of antique-looking clocks on top of the bar, which was really cool. Also the restaurant was not loud by any means, which is exceedingly rare nowadays. Our whole group enjoyed our meal, and it was so nice to try somewhere different. I'm definitely going to bring others to try Cafe Brussels, and would definitely recommend it for groups.
