   We loved the atmosphere of the entire restaurant. We tried several tapas and each was absolutely delicious. Definitely will be revisiting Coa for dinner and drinks. Special thank you to Alexa and staff for making my wife’s Birthday special too.

   Honestly, I was pretty disappointed in my meal. The tacos were greasy, as was the queso dip - I wasn't expecting that from what seemed to be a high end establishment. Prices were too high for the quality and amount of food I received. I won't be coming back. Also, there were only 2 other people in the restaurant when we arrived and we were seated at a small table of 2. It was odd because one of the chairs was basically blocking one of the steps to get up to the section of tables! We had to move the table inwards. It was so strange. To add, only a few more groups came in after we were finished so we could have very easily been moved somewhere else. The sangria was very good though!

   It was our first time here. It was a little hard to find the restaurant and slow sitting down because the hostess had stepped away. We were sat in front of the kitchen, which I didn't love, but it ended up being fine. The servers were really nice and attentive. A stand-out was the server who checked my coat for me when it kept falling off my chair. Food was all good except for one plate of rice that was too salty to consume (the other rice we had was perfect, so I'm not sure what happened). Tapas were all solid but more Americanized than authentic. It's also so weird to me that the scallops came in 3 for a sharable plate. We ordered lots and both left full!

   Business dinner and first time visiting for locals and out of towners. Customer service was exceptional from the moment you drive up. Complimentary valet service, inside the beautiful The Drake Hotel at Oakbrook, beautiful decor and open space for seating. At ordering time our waiter had knowlege of the menu and was able to speak to the different options for our dieteray restrictions. We all left completely satisfied and with our bellies full. We all agreed we will definitely return for leisure vs business.
