Coco Asian Bistro

I've never been more confused...

My girlfriends and I came here hoping to enjoy happy hour that supposedly runs from 4-7pm. The prospects were promising as we were seated outside in a lovely, well-decorated cabana. What resulted was an annoying 2 hours in which we had no idea what 3 separate servers were trying to (not) communicate to us.  

1st offense: There was no specific happy hour menu. So, when we asked the first server helping us what the specials were, we got a confused reply of 2 for 1 house wines, rail drinks, or lycheeapple martini (do you mean...lychee and apple flavors together? Or, A lychee or, An apple martini separately?). We decided to ask another waitress to try to get some clarification and got nowhere. After settling for what we kind of understood, we each decided to go for a lychee martini. The story continues...

2nd offense: After enjoying our relatively strong lychee martinis for about fifteen minutes, a third new waitress came out to tell us we "should" order food with the drinks. When we told her that we were okay and that we just wanted to get drinks, she proceeded to tell us we "need" to order food in order to receive the happy hour 2 for 1 deal. When we told her we didn't know and that this wasn't said anywhere on any of the menus, she responded with a "Yeah" and a nod, and then went back inside. Okay??

3rd offense: Our first server comes back out to check on us and sees that our drinks are empty. When she asked us if we'd like to order our second drinks, we each wanted to try a different drink (listed by the first 2 servers in the 1st offense). So, we each asked for a different drink, only to be notified that in order to get the 2 for 1 deal, we had to get the same drink we originally ordered. Alright, cool. Another round of lychee martinis it is - thanks for letting us know.

All in all, we ended up not needing to order food in order to actually obtain the 2 for 1 drink special because we just never brought it back up to the other waitresses, and they never brought it to our attention either. So I have no idea what that third waitress was talking about. The lychee martinis were substantial enough for me not to give this place one star, but not outstanding enough for me to ever come back again.

Note: This is a service review during HH.

There wasn't a happy hour menu and figuring out the specials, even from multiple employees, was near impossible.

The waitress said something about 2 for 1 house wines, rail drinks, and listed a couple martinis (I think). We even asked another waitress to clarify, but she wasn't any more helpful.

We got lychee martinis and then the confusion became endless. We were then told, all on separate occasions:

1. We couldn't share the 2 for 1 deal.
2. We had to get the same drink for both.
3. We had to order food if we wanted to get the HH 2 for 1 special (which apparently ended up being a bold-faced lie).

I. Can't. Even. The drinks weren't close to being good enough to justify putting up with the service. Go elsewhere.

**Reviewing HH ONLY**

Coco Asian Bistro was right next to my hotel (Hyatt Place) so my girls and I decided to try it for Happy Hour. We told the hostess and she seated us outside on the cute terrace which had comfy chairs a nice modern decor. Unfortunately, there is no HH menu so the waitress had to state the drink specials. It was difficult to understand her due to her accent, but we were able to make out "Lychee Martini" so we had a round of those. They were strong, but tasty and came with 2 lychees on a stick. We wanted to try another drink for our second round but our waitress stated that it had to be the same exact drink. What kind of rule is that?! She never told us this, but we decided to just order another round of lychee martinis. She then came back and told us that in order to get the 2 for 1 HH special, we had to order food off of the HH menu. WHAT? She never stated this at the beginning and there were no signs that stated this either. My group was pretty upset at all of these "rules". I'd suggest going somewhere else for HH.

Specials: 2 for 1 house wine, house martinis and Chang beer 4-7pm on weekdays
