Coco's Bistro

I had dinner at Coco's last night--Valentine's Day--and it was one of the best meals I have ever had. I ordered the halibut with beet risotto, which was the evening's special. My husband had the steak frites and mushroom soup. One of our friends also enjoyed the steak frites, while the other ordered a pizza.The service was exceptional. I missed the waiter's name, but he had very curly hair and provided the best service I have experienced at any restaurant. We live in Cincinnati, travel extensively, and consider ourselves foodies. Coco's is truly a hidden gem in Dayton, Ohio.

First time coming here. Loved the ambiance. The mushroom soup is awesome.Our waiter was very good and did his job well and he recommended the chicken. I should have gotten the chicken. The Cabbage salad w/the pomegranate dressing had very little taste. The Caesar Salad looked great.The drinks were strong, and the Spiced Pear Sorbet was delicious!I would came back. Love that they take reservations!

I was invited to a Birthday Brunch here at Coco and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. We had a great menu of chicken and waffles, eggs, shrimp and grits, collard greens and brisket. The service was amazing and the brisket was even better. The ambience was upscale.

We received a gift card to Coco's so gave it a try for dinner during the week. It was surprisingly crowded for being a Monday evening, but we were seated without a wait. The menu wasn't as big as I was expecting, and I thought it was funny that the drink options take up about 60% of the menu page. I tried the burger, as our server said it was one of the best in the city, and my SO got the brisket. The food didn't live up to the hype. My burger was pretty average, and the roasted garlic aoli became lost in the boursin cheese. The brisket was below average, and in hindsight, this was a terrible choice considering Coco's isn't a BBQ restaurant. It also came out lukewarm which was disappointing. Overall glad we tried it, but don't think we'll be back. On a positive note, the service was great, and our server Anthony did a wonderful job.

Went with a friend for dinner and we both thoroughly enjoyed our food. Nice comfortable atmosphere that was relatively busy on a Wednesday at 630. I started with the Mushroom soup which was creamy, smooth and slightly rich. For my entree I got the Shrimp and linguine while my friend got the Spaghetti and meatballs. Both were very tasty and seasoned well. Would absolutely recommend this spot!

Fantastic food and service. My date and I stopped in for dinner before the show at the Schuster Center. Our server went out of the way to make sure we were ready to leave in time. The Salmon for me and the steak salad for her were excellent and well prepared. We both thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the apple gallet dessert. We both highly recommend Coco's for an excellent dinner. .

Love the patio and the cocktails are good. I noticed they also had a separate banquet-type room good for parties/ meetings

Went for dinner on Friday at 5pm. The place was just starting to fill up. Had reservations so we were seated Immediately! Calm chowder and pizza were both appetizers. A bit overpriced but good tasting. Would have loved a crunchier crust on the pizza. Had the short ribs and Salmon entrees for dinner. Both were overcooked and over priced. Had 2 craft cocktails, average. The chocolate cake for desert was great but for $9. A small slice. Come on ! Not sure I'll be back !!!

My second visit to Coco's Bistro left me with mixed feelings. On my first attempt, I opted for the Burger, which, while decent, didn't quite justify its $20 price tag. The hibiscus lemonade, though tasty, arrived in a disappointingly small glass for the $8 zero refill charge. On this recent visit, I decided to give it another shot. While the Elderflower Gimlet was enjoyable, I couldn't help but question its $14 price point. My choice of the Mahi-Mahi turned out to be a letdown - overcooked fish, gritty grits, and a scarce serving of braised greens. Perhaps it's just been a string of unfortunate experiences on my end. Nonetheless, credit where it's due - our server was exceptional, earning a solid 5 stars for his part.

We went there for Valentine's Day last night before stopping over to the Ballet. We had no set dinner plans and I searched it on my phone while driving to Dayton. The website was user friendly and easy to make the reservation.Location is great and plenty of parking on each side of the restaurant. Just a short distance from downtown attractions.Cute and simple decor. Easy bathroom access.Hostess was adorable and friendly.Server was very welcoming and professional.The menu options were great. Not too overwhelming.Items were a little pricey but the food made it worth it. They had an excellent drink selection.I ordered the Caesar salad and lobster mac. My husband ordered the steaks frites. Holy cow. Soooooo goooood! I've had a lot of salads, that was by far my favorite Caesar. Highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be returning!
