| Most of us are chocoholics at heart, and Coco was created to remind us of that fact---and, as the owners freely admit, to appeal to women. But with the arrival of the current chef, it appears that the food of the gods need no longer appear in nearly every dish. Among the savories, at least, only a salad with white chocolate shavings, the filet mignon with a dark chocolate jus, and a lobster dish with a chocolate infused “americaine” sauce are the present coco standard-bearers, culinary counterparts of the unabashedly over-the-top décor (chandeliers abound and there are shell-shaped red velvet booths). Some diners now may be happy to find more classics on the order of coq au vin and duck confit alongside an only slightly more challenging roasted goat cheese frisée salad with bacon-infused vinaigrette, but we’re relieved that desserts such as the chocolate-domed “The Kiss” remain outrageous. Wine flights, both French- and California-centric, can be had, along with several by the glass. |
