   The food was outstanding. Waitress didn't check in much. We had to keep calling her to our table when we needed something. .

   The food was absolutely delicious and so were the drinks we ordered. The service was wonderful! Top 10 meals I’ve had in my life. Can’t wait to return!

   We had reservations to celebrate my parents' anniversary. We were seated at a very drafty area near exterior door. We were told there were no other tables for 4 people except one, but we'd only have an hour and a half because of another reservation. That table was vacant for nearly 2 hours. I'm still baffled about why those people couldn't have just been given our table if we weren't finished, but apparently they were more important than we were. We considered going elsewhere because it was very cold for all of us, but especially me as I'm dealing with neuropathy from cancer treatment, so being cold is very bad for me; however, being Valentine's weekend we didn't have a lot of choice. They said they'd close one of the doors to the area with the exterior door, but that made no difference. Our server was knowledgeable and fairly attentive, though we did have to ask for more water as it was never offered. The calamari was over-cooked and chewy, but had great flavor. The ceviche was excellent as were the scallops. The lobster empanadas, ham, cheese, potato salad and chicken were very good. The dates were fine. Tequila and wine selections are excellent and the cocktails are good. This was our first time to Coa, but have been to the Drake many times for various occasions, including having our wedding there so this was an extremely disappointing experience. We ordered probably 10 tapas, several drinks, desserts, etc and spent over $500, but didn't feel valued as customers. We will not return to Coa.

   Hidden gem in the west suburbs. This will be my new go to tapas place. Incredible cocktails as well.

   We loved Coa! We’re so happy we were finally able to check it out. The restaurant was super cute, felt like we were on vacation. The service was excellent, between the hostesses, the waitress, the manager… everyone was super attentive and so nice! The ambience was great, again vacation. Now the food…. it was delicious! We ordered off of the hot and cold tapas menu, everything was so good! We had no room left, but we had to order the pastor tacos… so good! My husband and I are already planning our next dinner and I’m planning my next girls night out here so we can try the sangria!

   Food was good, but certain courses were delayed and seemed like they'd been under a heat lamp too long. Also the whole restaurant was cold, especially the restrooms.

    Date night dinner. The restaurant is design nice inside. The staff very professional and attentive. Pros: happy hour appetizers was good, cocktails was good. The entrees was just okay. Cons: we had a stack of menus that remained on the table that wasn't collected, bathroom was freezing (staff notified). The only option for seating when you book online is hightables for 2 People, some people can't sit high, but the host told us we can call and request a regular table. The restaurant wasn't crowded and there were plenty of tables to spread guest around, but a couple with a child sat behind us and the child was loud, crying and clanking of glasses..we cut our pre-valentine dinner short! So overall I will pass on visiting. I'm a foodie and I want food to put an impression on me, and this wasn't that. Maybe in the future I will give it another try.

    Thanks for visiting us, Yalonda. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our appetizers, cocktails, and service. We appreciate your feedback about the restroom temperature and seating arrangement. We're sorry to hear about the discomfort caused by the child and understand how important this is for you. We're always looking for ways to improve and your feedback is invaluable in this process. We hope you'll consider dining with us again in the future.
