Such fond memories here, sad to hear they closed. Back in 2016, COI was under different management so we had a different experience compared to those who visited towards its closure. This was actually my first “fine dining” experience. It might actually still be one of the most artful presentation of courses I’ve ever seen.

I will leave it to the foodie to get into the details of the food offerings. The service was on point without being to stuffy. The space is simple yet elegant which a lot like each plate of food, cleanly and beautifully presented without clutter. Without an element that’s not contributing to the dish. The parting give, black Truffle pastry, both sweet and salty the same time. So good!!

My wife and I dined at Coi last night. Every aspect of the experience was perfect. The food was delicious, creative, and beautiful. The wine pairings were a fantastic enhancement as well and were expertly matched with each dish. The service was top notch, and just what you would expect for a top tier establishment. We definitely recommend Coi!

Amazing experience! Set menu only and very considerate of dislikes or allergies. Elaborate wine pairing and tea pairing as alternative. Very nice staff. This isn't just food but an evening worth of tastes and a good time.
