An amazingly big and exhausting menu. The prices are okay for quality. Bigger than it looks but still there's only a few tables and it was basically empty. It's got a counter to order at and it seems most orders are called in. The menu is fucking massive. Covers basically everything. There's plant based versions of burgers, fish, and wings. It's about $8 for a milkshake. These are made with oat milk or other non cow version. I got the Cookie Monster Milkshake. This is made with blue spirulina, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate syrup, oat ice cream, and oat milk, and they made it thick. It's about $14 for an entree. Lots of these to choose from. Comes with fries. I got the Legendary Fish Sandwich. The patty is made with banana blossoms, and topped with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and vegan tartar sauce. A little too crispy but it actually had flavor. She had the Vegan Ribs. Comes with choice of two sides and jalapeño cornbread. The menu has tons of other stuff. Got to say it's the best option around here for plant based soul food. It's closed Mondays. There's too many options for vegans and vegetarians.

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.

This is a classic made with bitters, cherry, and sweet vermouth. Also you get a choice of bourbon or rye. I got it with rye because I wanted rough stuff. As for the food it's limited and meaty. The burger seems to be popular. Got to say it's a great value when you go early. It's located on Pearl at Huron. They're closed Sundays and Mondays and are only open evenings or whatever.

These include cocktails and appetizers so we got a few of these. It's about $12 for a cocktail. Of course now it was cheaper obviously. Best we had of these was the Bajajito. This is Baja Blast, coconut, lime, mint, and rum. It's about $14 for wings and there's several kinds, even plant based. We got the Vegetarian Polenta Wings. Comes with choice of a sauce and we got hot. These could have been crispier but thankfully weren't mushy. As for the rest of the menu, there's also deli items. Things like sandwiches. For sure it has pretty great specials we could get again. It's located on Allen at Franklin. There's burgers and wings including versions of these for vegans and vegetarians.

The agnoloti wasnt your normal small hats but rather more interesting ravioli. But who cares it's shape--it was balanced, housemade pasta that made me very happy.
