Where some others have failed to make vegan food not just edible, but good, this restaurant has really put in the extra mile to make food that they are passionate about. It shows. It has that small business, personalized interaction and enthusiasm that is sometimes lost in larger restaurants. And the most important thing... They use quality ingredients and make amazing tasting, healthy food. While I'm not actually vegan, I love all good food, and will try just about anything. I'm only visiting Buffalo, unfortunately, but if I lived here, I would come back often. Definitely try this restaurant. They're the real thing.

I'd first had these at taste of buffalo last year and was wow'd by them, so wanted to enjoy them again. I ordered the version with balsamic and goat cheese, and was not disappointed. A good sized serving made for a hearty appetizer! We were able to sit at an outside table so the noise level inside was not an issue; it was easy for the 4 of us to carry on conversation.

We ordered chicken fingers and a roast beef on weck (Buffalo staple). The chicken tenders were very thin and more breading than chicken (definitely a frozen product). The beef on weck was not very hot and the fries were not either. I was disappointed because I do like their beers.

But tonight, tonight our first choice was closed and our second choice had an hour wait so we did a Yelp search not quite remembering that Ballyhoo was this location that I had passed over and over again. Walk in and you feel Buffalo... the waterfront dockside factory Buffalo and it's a great feeling. This ain't a wear your party dress to kind of bar but you just feel that you are going to enjoy yourself as you sit down at the bar or at the limited seating high tops or along the window side counter seats. An amazing awesome bartender who is playing a fantastic playlist of tunes you settle yourself into a place of comfort looking out at the perfectly framed General Mills plant that is busily filling Buffalo's breathable air with that comforting aroma of Cheerios! Young lady from behind the bar shares a menu and a check list of food ... sausage sandwiches ... soup ... and a few other items. Frankly you won't need more because the food is damn good ... the deep soul vitalization will start to work on you and you'll just want to stay. Get to chatting with the friendly bar keep ... always a good sign ... that music is good and your food arrives one steak and one chicken sausage sandwich both covered in yummy toppings ... chips on the side ... we indulged in LOTS OF PICKLES and based on the recommendation both ordered the black bean "chowder." Sausages were both delicious... the black bean concoction was one of those thick oh so good experiences and the pickles were special (There were lots and we brought them home.). Definitely a place to return to ... that superb barkeep makes apparently every cocktail ever created ... but a nostalgic Buffalo feel ... wondering who sat here through the years. They apparently are packed on Sabres home game nights but do what we did ... choose a slow moving weekday evening when you can watch the sunset formulate through the frame of Ballyhoos window ... watch your steps going home ...

Essentially Set up patio furniture and folding chairs to add additional tables to squeeze people in. To their credit, they curtained off each table to make it seem fancy, added a red table cloth and gifted us a tulip. The set up ended up being very nice. Everything tasted pretty good. The only glaring issue was that most items that came out did not seem to be particularly hot. It was busy for the holiday so can't be too mad about. Bread and oil was standard. Meatball was great. i loved the risotta bites sauce - very peppery. Bisque was fine - the croutons were excellent, just needed it warmer. Chicken parm was large portion (this came out hot). Salmon and mashed were good, white wine sauce was very tasty. Again Just needed the fish to be a touch warmer. Pretty well done for a nice Valentine's day dinner.

I ordered the Rosemary Frites, which were a delicious appetizer. I had the maple salmon salad as my meal, and it was amazing! The chèvre was so fresh, the greens were great, and the salmon, wow! A delicious meal that I got two meals out of because I took half of it home, as it's a pretty large portion. Originally, I was given the wrong order that I couldn't have due to dietary restrictions, but the waitress was very kind and gave me the correct one, as well as taking it off of my bill. I really appreciated that! We got macarons as dessert and they were super yummy as well. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Coco, and it will be in my rotation of "special occasion" local restaurants going forwards!

The music was a mix of French and English jazzy music. We stared with a bread basket ($6) and it was cold in the center, probably related to our very early arrival. The wine list had plenty of good choices at normal 10-13 dollar per glass prices. My mushroom pappardelle with chicken was beautiful and a large serving. If we weren't traveling I could have taken home a lunch portion easily. My dining partner had salmon salad and he was deeply pleased with his choice. The salmon looked great and he praised the light hand dressing the salad and loved the well balanced maple flavor. Deserts were both very well done. My flourless chocolate cake was dense, dark and served with a powerful raspberry reduction. The other desert was an apricot cake which was very similar to a sticky toffee pudding with a gentle fruity tang. Really good. Overall I enjoyed our meal here a lot but I could imagine an even better experience. Rather than the very large entrees offered A la carte, I would have enjoyed a more manageable serving of pasta and a side salad or a cup of soup. There were multiple fruit and house flies around where we sat which was unfortunate. For what I think is edging into fine dining. I think the value factor here was ok. Our dinner for 2 with bread, 1 glass of wine each and 2 deserts totaled about 125 with tax before tip.
