    Koya is a place where I’d recommend everyone to try out at least once! The food was really good and had flavor to it. The waitress was very nice and made our experience even better with how she treated us! I would definitely go back again.

    Loved the concept, drinks were very good, chocolates quality was excellent! I would like to have the chocolates compliment the drink flavor, rather than be same flavor of drink or same liquor inside the chocolate. The redundancy was overpowering on some flavors, and fatiguing on others. I think if it were more like a food/wine pairing instead of the repeated flavors, this experience would be phenomenal! I still enjoyed it, but would prefer more traditional, complementary flavors. I did buy some of the chocolates (banana foster, etc.) and those were TRULY EXCELLENT! So maybe just rethink what is being paired together.
