    The ambience was intimate, and the spices in the food were good. Service was good. The washroom experience was a bit unusual, people seemed to have a hard time understanding when the bathrooms are occupied and how to lock the doors. Anyways, we ordered the scallops and beet salad as appetizers which tasted delicious. Then the butter lobster masala and the short ribs as the mains. The butter lobster was the shining dish between the two. It was a perfect blend of seasonings. The short ribs on the hand, while the sauce was flavourful, we were really put off by the toughness of the meat. The dish the short ribs came in also was not deep enough so as we were attempting to cut the short ribs to share, the concern was spilling the sauce. And it was tough to cut AND bite into. Would not recommend this dish, but everything else was good.

    When you dine at Coconut Lagoon you will experience an interesting array of dishes that will stand out for your dining experience. The wine pairing was excellent which accompanied our pre-set Valentines Day dinner. Every course was excellent!

    The food was delicious as always. Very much appreciate the many vegan options in appetizers, main course and even for dessert. The service is professional and helpful. Always a pleasure going back. :-)

    A wonderful experience at Coconut Lagoon. Food is exceptional, flavourful selection of dishes. The lamb chops as a starter stand out, as does the lamb biryani.

    It was a nice experience. We took the chef samplers with wine pairing. Everything was really good except for the chicken dish as the chicken was very dry.

    Over all good. The only downside was our table was too smallfor 2 people and took a lot of moving our things around to make room for 2 meals. Parking is terrible as well.

    My friends were served their first meal and were eating and I had to wait 10 minutes before I got my dish I was sitting behind cleaning dishes and dispensing them which was noisy The service needs to be improved… not sure I will be back
