So So So Good

I don't even know where to star with this place. I guess a good starting point is their green cred, since this is after all a green reviews site. Well that is very simple - everything that possibly can be is sourced locally and organically (local before organic). You can definitely taste the difference - the veggies taste like they were picked that morning, which, most likely, they were.

As for overall taste - this is one of the best restaurants i have been to in this city so far. The truffle flat bread - OH MY GOD! They also had some really solid crudo, and the fish of the night (skate when i was there in a brown butter sauce) was one of the most interesting fish dished io have ever had. Soft and flaky - it was almost a pastry - a delicious pastry! The one thing i would caution - everyone told me to get the fried green beans - my vote there is... eh? It was certainly a taste i have never had before - they were fried in a light tempura batter that somehow made the greenbeans keep their flavor which is SO HARD to do with something fried. At any other restaurant i would say they were great - at CoCO i would say there is too much great food to get something merely good.

Plus - Jen is awesome, and is going to kill on the next season of top chef. O JEN!

Great food, a little loud

i went recently for a birthday dinner and had to lean in for my entire conversation. surprising, since this place isn't very large. overall, the food was great and the service was on top of it. i made a last minute reservation and they were very accommodating.

a little on the pricey side when you order drinks, but worth it. order the flatbread pizzas.

their mixed drinks are talked about in mixology circles, and their wine list was great.
