We were sat down immediately. Everything was great. It took us 45 minutes for our waitress to get off her phone to see that we are sitting down almost an hour. We almost walked out. The couple that was sitting behind us that came in later than I got served first.

I got the jerk chicken, I think the meal would be better and certainly easier to eat, if the chicken was cut up into a couple of pieces.

One of our favorite restaurants! Food is always excellent. Great service. Our waitress was serving another table so the hostess came and took our drink orders in the meantime. Great teamwork!

Coco's is a special place. We started the evening with the fried brie and bruschetta. It was very tasty. For dinner I had the Bourbon Street salad which is always a winner and my husband had the Shrimp Fettuccine which he thoroughly enjoyed. There was plenty of shrimp cooked to perfection. Our server, Rosie, was outstanding. She made suggestions, gave us space to enjoy the meal but checked in appropriately. She was professional and very friendly. I will ask if she is working the next time we dine there. It was a lovely way to celebrate our anniversary.
