    We celebrated our anniversary at coco palm , food was amazing to say the least , waitress was attentive even though she was clearly swamped and possibly by herself with 10 other tables going , hoping to go back soon and sit outside at night time to enjoy the view better, sadly we weren’t able to enjoy it due to all the parties going on

    The service was horrible, food was mediocre and I was charged 30 dollars for a kids chicken fettuccine plate. The server Alfonso was rarely around and that’s that it wasn’t busy. It seems over the years this place has truly lost its classiness. Lack of dress code enforcement. There was men in shorts and flip flops…won’t ever be going back.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the area and always look forward to the food. This time, food was good as usual, but our waiter ruined everything. Never refilled our water once, took too long to bring our drinks even forgot some of the drinks we ordered. Beer came with no glass, paella came with no serving spoon which took about 20 minutes just to get it and never checked on us except when we were done. I think the seats are a little cramped. When you sit behind someone who is a little drunk or laughs like there is no one else around, you are done for the day.

    First experience was BAD we have a reservation and our table was given to someone else and they make us wait almost 2 hours, once the seat us just to get some water took forever and when we order our food since paella takes more than 40 minutes to do I was suggested to try another plate similar which at the end did not have any flavor and it was served cold. Not a good experience and bad service.

    First and last time here. Food was lacking everything. When we arrived the table was ready and water was already served. That was disappointing because there was one fly near our table. The rice with beans was extremely tasteless and dry . I would recommend this restaurant.

    Food was good. Service was awful from the waiter to the supervisor that walked around kicking guests out right at 2 hours. Even though the restaurant was not not full and only one couple waiting for a table. Even the Valet employees were rude. Would not go there again.

    Our server gave us a dirty glass with food on it. She was very slow to check on our table, we had to ask another server for a clean glass of mimosa! It was not busy, so why the service was so slow I don’t know? The food was excellent and I was really sad they don’t have the buffet with unlimited mimosas…

    Food and service was amazing. Wife and I went for our 16th Anniversary dinner. Heard about this place by word of mouth. Our waitress Maria, was very friendly and didn’t mind explaining what the menu items and even recommending plates. Drinks were plenty strong and the atmosphere was cool with a Latin jazz sort of vibe. It was a great experience overall and I would highly recommend.

    The food was excellent, and the service was good, considering it was Father's Day and the restaurant was very crowded. However, we had a reservation and still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. We ordered appetizers at the same time as our beverages, and they arrived with our meals, after a very long wait. Prices reflect a more upscale dining experience, but the way we were treated would be more like a low-end chain restaurant. If we were treated better, we would be more interested in going back.
