We dined at Coconut Lagoon on Thursday March 27th, at 7pm. No parking. Our table was upstairs even though we had a reservation made on the main floor. Two of us. Ordered 2 apps, 4 mains, 2 sides and bottle of red wine, before tip out total for 2 people was $316.
The atmosphere was horrible. It was packed because there was a wine tasting/dinner happening on the main floor and the host of the event was using a microphone to describe their wine but also their life story. This was loud obnoxious and lasted the entire time we were there. We were sitting upstairs, but its open concept and the noise from the speakers microphone made it impossible to hear each-other, we could barely hear the server and it made for a horrible experience. Had we known upon our reservation that this event would be happening simultaneously, we would have reserved a different night.
The food. The apps were cold - Samosas and Croquettes. The mains, the cod wasn’t cooked - it had to be sent back. The short rib was so tough we couldn’t eat it. The duck was over cooked there were pieces of bone in almost every bite, but the butter lobster was amazing - perfectly cooked and the sauce was divine. The sides of rice were cold.
The wine - an Ontario gamay 2022 was ok - a bit light and bitter - from divergence winery in Niagara. $75.
We hardly saw our server. But when we complained about the cod - she put in another order which we didn’t want because it was so late in the meal, but she brought it out anyway - we could have a bite and the second cod dish was properly cooked, unlike the first.
We’ve dinner here before and at Thali. Hopefully this was just a bad experience because of the tasting event happening at the same time and the kitchen couldn’t handle the food properly for the other guests. The noise from the event was painful, it would have been good to have this knowledge up front so we could have avoided a bad experience.
I don’t know if we’ll be back?
