OK folks, the word on COCO Bar Bistro.
First off, the food was excellent! Between the six of us we had most things on the tapas menu and they were all really nice - no complaints from any of us. And good sized portions for a tapas bar.
But the service was having a bad day... First dish out of the kitchen (Roasted Olives & Chorizo) was spilt all over the table, just missing one of the party. Some of the dishes were served on pieces of slate and the servers had occasional trouble putting them onto the table without spillage - also the slates were a bit big and we could hardly get them on the small tables.
The room itself was very cool, nice decor and furniture, but the Gents left a lot to be desired.
Finally the cutlery. Very modern squarish shaped knives and forks that looked rather expensive but were a bugger to use as they tended to turn over when using them - you couldn't even put them down easily without them turning over!
Conclusion; good food, well prepared (loved the Black Pudding) but an awkward eating experience. Would definately go again for the food, but would cross my fingers re the actual dining experience.
