Coco

Despite other complaints about poor and delayed service, we did not experience any of that.
There were four servers running around and it seemed that the work flow and deliveries were constant.
We were properly advised by our server that their new menu had smaller portion sizes, yet my wife & I ordered too much food. (The portion sizes are still generous).
Quality was good on average, though there are a couple of dishes that we didn’t care for, from a personal taste thing.
There’s not any other restaurant that is open during the early part of the week, so this is the best choice. Best to come here before going upstairs to see a movie, but one can dine here without the movie experience.
Good setting and lobby both in front & upstairs is a treat to see.

Small menu but well done. Salmon sashimi starter was a modern take with Wasabi cream, kinda taste like a mix of cream cheese and wasabi. Roast pork belly was excellent, as well as the beef fillet with beef cheek main dish. The main dish is enough to fill you up, we got a side of autumn veggies and it ended up being leftover. Chocolate donuts were amazing.

My experience at Coco’s at the Roxy was similar to my experience with online dating about a decade ago; and for anyone who has ever tried online dating, you know you never actually end up with someone based on whatever was written online.
I read through some of the other reviews, and Coco seemed to be all style and good looks without the girl-​next-​door niceties and sassy-​smart personality you’d find in someone you’d want to take home to Mother. Everyone seemed to come to consensus that Coco was a hot date, if somewhat inattentive and snotty at times.
Was Coco really like that? Not on our first date. She was dressed elegantly, done up like a 1920s art deco doll. She was smart, attentive and knowledgable and made a lasting impression with her food.
We ordered a ceviche to start, accompanied by well-​made cocktails. The martini I ordered was dry and up, the Moscow Mule was fragrant and a good companion to the ceviche.
Then came a duck for two. A half-​duck with mandarin and middle eastern spices, a new take on duck a l’orange. Coco described her duck with winter vegetables, but my guess was that she forgot to change winter for spring as I saw asparagus, spinach and french beans; all of which are spring vegetables.
The duck fat fries had to be the hot make-​out session of the night, with potato wedges that had crisp and flavorsome exterior and fluffy soft interiors.
All in all, I’d take Coco out for a few more nights, but she’s quite a stylish lady and I’m sure she’ll be happy with more suitors and attention from other leading men if given the choice.
