This establishment is incredible and exceptional. Very kind and engaging personnel, delicious food and relaxing atmosphere. They were quite busy, but we were able to sit at the bar with zero wait time. The burgers were delicious, The chicken jambalaya is amazing, and the owner was incredibly nice and accommodating. We definitely will be visiting again, soon.

One of the best dining experiences around the Vincennes/Lawrenceville area! Upscale drinks and dining, great atmosphere, and friendly service! Featured here are the famous white wedding cake, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, and a chicken ceasar salad! Definitely a "must-visit" for a date night!

Well first i'm going say this is NOT a 5 stars restaurant. My husband and I decided to come in one night, because we have heard so many great things about Cocos. Sad to say we thought about leaving after hearing all the vulgar language coming from the kitchen...and may I add some of it was quite inappropriate. No one should have to listen to a male employee bragging about his genitals, especially at a restaurant.

Love going to CoCo's. We are not from the area and are staying in Indiana and decided to try this gem. It was absolutely amazing, from the service to the kitchen and the romantic setting it offers was a great experience. Don't for get to leave room for dessert or better yet order it first and take it home. I love the wedding cake but my husband love the butter pecan cake. Just try it, you will love it!

Delicious food, great service, and it's beautiful inside! We went to try it and ended up going back two days later because it was so good.

This place is amazing. We drove over an hour to get here and it was well worth it. The food and service were fantastic. Our server, Amber O. took great care of us. She anticipated our needs before we even asked. The white wedding cake is unbelievable.

Wow - This place was very unexpected. Came for a work lunch and they recommended we go here. We did not have reservations but luckily we were able to get a table for 6 right away. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and made really good recommendations. While I didn't get to see it, they also have a spa on site. I saw a couple people going in and leaving, I really want to do that next time I'm in the area. The food was very good, I had a sandwhich which was really good. They also have tons of dessert options which I didn't get but wanted to but was so full from all the good food I had. I totally recommend this place, I'm sure it will not disappoint!

Drove over an hour to try this destination experience from Bloomington Indiana. So glad we did! I took my mom here for her 68th birthday. After relaxing In the Himalayan sea salt room we enjoyed lunch alfresco on the patio. They were sweet to accommodate our small toy poodle. It was very cozy and shaded. I started off with a cup of the red pepper Gouda soup. It was Very well seasoned, full of big chunks of red pepper, and finished with creamy cheese. Delicious!! Then I ordered the stuffed chicken which is listed as a menu favorite. The chicken breast is Panko encrusted and filled with a savory cream cheese with a zesty glaze. Wonderful! It comes with a potato and vegetable of the day. I will definitely come back with my husband soon and get more spa services & try Coco's bar.
