A lovely place to lunch with wonderful views of the river and CBD - I took my mother to lunch here on a recent sunny day.
Service was exemplary from one member and not so from another.
Excellent ambience, great drinks, wonderful oysters - as we have come to expect from Cocos.
Slightly dissapointed with the rather oily 'grilled prawns' and the fact the seafood platter almost completely battered. Scallops were great, squid good but snapper sections were a let down. Overall a lovely lunch, just hard to eat that much fried food in one sitting. I will certainly return; just order slightly differently :-)

Amazingly delicious baked goods!! I have a particular soft sopt for their caramel and macadamia slice. They make all fo their products and have a wholesome, warm, inviting atmosphere. Service is friendly - just slow.... Best to phone ahead if you want to pick something tasty up for lunch; as advised by a regular while I was in line one day :-)

A friend and I walked in for lunch, when we asked a member of staff if we could look at a lunch menu he pointed to to a slot that contained a stack of assorted menues with a somewhat disdainful expression.
After a perusal we decided to give the place a try - our request for a table was received with a scoff and a shrug with a mumbled sit where ever we liked. His tone of voice and attitude actually caused me to stifle a giggle - was he really speaking to customers like that? The only other occupied table had two diners - so it is not as if he was run off his feet.
Once meals were received my friend was having hard work cutting into his chicken parmigana - it was like an old piece of leather, with a burnt edge.
We requested a replacement and the Chef was obviously very put out - maybe forgot he was in an open plan kitchen, within sight of the customers with a request for edible food??
Anyhow, the replacement was better - the staff though have guaranteed me not eating there any time soon, aswell as advising my friends not to also.
