Considering that I walk by it at least twice a day and that the cocktail menu was created by the head bartender at the Slanted Door, I really want to like Coco500. However, after three visits there, it just doesn't deliver.
This afternoon, I went there with three other colleagues for lunch. The meal? Forgettable. I had a $13 "Coppa Salami Pizza" which was, regrettably, not a Coppa Salami Pizza, but merely a coppa pizza, the menu writer not understanding that Coppa is a Salumi, not a Salami. It was good, but $8 good. Not $13 good.
A colleague had a chicken romaine salad that had an inedible lettuce core served on the plate (and I don't mean the white part of the lettuce, but the actual stalk of the lettuce). The service was very rough for the price - servers reaching over people, cutting off orders and generally providing minimal service.
Honestly, it's not worth the cash to eat here. I wish it was still Bizou, a nice French bistro instead of this hipster small-plate joint.
