   The food itself was pretty good but the service was terrible. They were very slow and also not very attentive, the drinks were also warm, my partner ordered a milkshake and it might well have been warm milk!

   The chocolate was amazing!😍 Everything on the menu was so good! I had to have the chocolate cake as this is what I saw on Instagram!!! Next time I will be having the chocolate fondue! The decor could do with updating in my opinion. Service was very slow despite what seemed to be a lot of staff roaming around. Areas for improvement: have someone on the door/managing the queue outside as you had to queue to get to the door despite having a reservation. Once inside there was no one to greet you and again had to wait. Then had to wait 10 mins for order to be taken, and longer still for drinks to arrive. This was my only critique which I thought worth mentioning so the place can improve, but overall I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back ☺️

   Some of the food was good, but I don’t think I’d visit here again. Portion sizes across dishes were massively inconsistent, service was disjointed at times (with my dish coming out noticeably later than those of my dining companions), appropriate cutlery wasn’t available, and, I think most upsettingly, we saw two tables being celebrated for birthdays, with staff bringing out something special and for the larger group singing - we’d checked on the booking that we were there to celebrate a birthday, so seeing other tables be celebrated and not getting anything like that for us put a bit of a dampener on the whole thing.

   We had a lovely time at Coro. We had mentioned to them that we were on our honeymoon and they brought out a small sweet with "Happy Honeymoon" written in chocolate

   Terrible service. 2 days in a row they didn't have the Cake by death we had reserved for. Had to wait 1 hour for our tea, which we then no longer wanted due to another activity, for which they did not want to give the money back. Which we had indicated when ordering and reserving the table. Everything is added to the order by hand, unfortunately we did not experience it as very hygienic. A shame, because expectations were very high after all the Insta stories.

   We arrived on time for our booking to be kept waiting at the door for a few minutes and were shown to our tables and given menus. No one told us we had to approach the counter to order, which we did after seeing someone else do so. We then waited 45 minutes to be served, one order at a time, of which one order had marshmallows missing from it. Overall the food was good but drastically let down by the service and lack of ambience. The four staff I saw seemed more interested in preparing delivery/collect orders than the 4 tables they had during our stay. Totally disappointed as this was a birthday treat for my friend. Also, when we ordered and paid we were asked if we wanted to tip before even receiving anything!? Quite poor.

   Food was lovely. Service and Coro as a whole felt chaotic. It was really busy when we arrived, we had a table booked, however when we arrived staff were oblivious to this, so a table was not ready for us. A table was made up for us, but it was not big enough for our party. The place doesn’t feel very organised and also not very clean. Tables felt greasy, and menu’s were greasy with finger marks all over them. My friend asked if there was more cutlery as when she went to help herself, which she was instructed to do, the girl she asked ignored her. I would like to return to coro as the food was lovely, but the overall cleanliness and service is a massive put off.

   la nourriture est bonne et copieuse mais le cadre est messy, avec des cartons vides dans la salle, des tables mal organisées, un service lent, peu efficace, qui nous ont apporté des couverts sales. dommage car l’endroit a du potentiel et la nourriture est très bonne et en conséquence malheureusement le service laisse à désirer..

    A little dated inside and not what i expected. Having to go up to queue to order in what is a tight space and get your own cutlery and napkins etc i didn't expect. I did expect table service. Table was cleaned as we arrived to it and menus were a little cheap looking. The prices however were not cheap and although portions were good and the hot chocolate was to die for, the waffle was average and my sons ferrero cookie dough wasnt pleasing on the eye and a bit bland he stated. We didnt finish our food and left. I'm not sure i would go back. The staff didnt crack a smile and were in all honesty rather abrupt and rude.
