Wife and I came in at rush hour and got right in. No surprise why... They sat us next to a large group with a bunch of screaming kids even though there were private booths available. Say, why are my feet sticking to the floor? .. What?! No bread and vinegar/oil like the days of old? Mkay.. I suppose I can deal with that. OK, ..menu time! Yay!.. wait... Why are the pages all greasy and stuck together? Two pages of over-priced entrees which have no photos to go with them, followed by NINE pages of drinks/cocktails...K, think I see whats happening here...Get me so drunk Ill forget about the $25 entree whos centerpiece is month-old Alaskan cod posing as Halibut,(nevermind the smell it ads character). I suppose the giant pile of (canned) green beans will make up for everything, how innovative and chic. Magnifico! chef Jose, por favor hold the boogers next time...Ah and hows that green card coming? Tacos no longer come with fries or salad? $19 for a Burger at Coho? WTF am I reading this right?. $8 for a domestic beer? I could buy a 12 pack for that much. Sooo. Basically prices have doubled, food was cut in half, (both quality and quantity) wait staff are kinda gross too. Not much effort effort to thier appearances.. shirts untucked, hair not brushed. No makeup, like for god sake have some respect... I have to eat after I look at you... Not worth the money, no love or quality. I feel its a "ownership" kinda problem and usually thats doom for a restaurant.

This is not the Coho Cafe I remember and love. The best menu items are gone. The remaining menu items are disgusting. Almost everything had no salt or way too much salt. I ate exactly one bite of my burger, which I asked to have well done and completely cooked all the way through, before I found pink. The quesadillas were bland. My wife barely touched her trout because she thought it was repellant, as well. They didnt even devein the shrimp that came with it! The fries, oddly, were some of the best fries ever. I normally dont eat French fries and neither does my wife but we ate most of the fries served at Coho. So theyve got that going for them. Also the service was pretty good. The lady who served us was very nice and brought my ten-month-old daughter straws bent into different geometric shapes to play with. My daughter was unable to appreciate how thoughtful that was but my wife and I liked it. So, good: service and french fries; bad: the rest of the menu.

Enjoyed the Coho Friday evening. This isnt the restaurant to go to if you pallet consists of cheeseburgers or quesadillas. Friends and I were looking for variety and unique flavors and I was very happy with what we recieved. We ordered family style so that we could sample the menu. The crab tower was great! I love sushi and it had those flavors, great portion and presentation. Followed that up with seafood bisque, Sambol shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops and cord bread waffles. It was a smorgasbord of flavors and we loved every bit of it!! The waitress (Jamie I think) recommended the cornbread waffles and promised we would love them. She was right, I wouldnt ever think to order but its a mix of spicy/sweet that I wont forget. Crazy good! I dont do Redmond often but Ill be here again. Cant say enough good things, quality food, clean, and great staff.

This has been my third time here and after going their yesterday i have decided this place is over rated..Their menu sucks not much to pick from.. Our waitress took 20 mins to get serve us,took our order and never came back till we received our bill,PLUS the food was not the BEST.. I had a coho burger and let me tell u the burger was 1 of the worst i had.. The best burgers ive had was in Rock Fire pizza,excellent service,food is Great,and their fries our the best!! The Keg has the best sliders omg u have to try it!!

Green beans were rock hard, inedible, the piece of salmon was old, grey and fibrous. After 2 tries with the watered down lemonade we paid the bill and went on our merry way. No effort was made to offer us a redo from the kitchen or another beverage both of which would have been a good solution. The waitress managed to get $5 knocked off, nice gesture. We normally go to Coho in Issaquah for the past few years without a misstep. Not going back here which is a shame.

Waited over 15 minutes and never even got ice water. This was after telling them my four year old was hungry and asking for a waiter. Place was empty at the time. Upon leaving and letting them know I was unhappy, ice water suddenly arrived. Manager didnt come to apologize. Left to feed son and got food faster with more polite service at racha. Living nearby, would have liked coho to be a possible regular spot, but prefer the service at racha or jjs.

As some others have noted, the food is excellent and the ambiance is very nice. The outdoor dining was particularly nice on the evening we visited. However, the portions are small and the the menus is somewhat expensive, particularly for what you get. Our service was acceptable but not outstanding. To be honest I dont think I would go back, simply because my wife and I dont eat out often and I prefer to get a better value for my money when I do.

The food and service was usually pretty good. The only problem we had was a waitress who seemed quite bored and careless in doing her job. She didnt offer the refill until we were done and ready to leave. She made uncomfortable comments about my wife having a look at the cocktail list for a second drink. We were quite disappointed to see that they no longer offer the bread and oil+vinegar dip.

Coho Cafe is what restaurants are like after Gordon Ramsey has fixed them on kitchen nightmares. Smallish menu, fresh ingredients, great flavor-pairings. Sometimes they have a chefs special of salmon with an Israeli cous cous that I shouldnt have mentioned because now Im drooling. Mmm. Their Asian-inspired dishes have always been meh, however. **they have diaper changing tables**

We went there for the first time for a birthday dinner and LOVED it! The food selection is wide and rich, the food quality was amazing (at least of what we ordered), drinks were perfect and the service was professional and yet friendly. We will definitely make eating there a habit :)

Service and food are so-so at Coho Cafe. Have been there 3 times and probably wont go back. Coconut shrimp appetizer was disappointing, less than 8 shrimp on top of a HUGE bowl of lettuce/cabbage. Burgers were ok, grilled fish was ok. Not worth the money or wait to eat.

We used to like this place, but things changed. The food quality and taste was below average, the chicken from the kids menu was undercooked. The worst part though was when we asked a server why the glasses were dirty. She replied "I dont know, I dont wash it". Nice, huh?

I dont get the appeal of this place? Since it opened the servers are always undereducated and the service is poor. The prices are that of what should be a great restaurant. The Eastside is seriously lacking in this area. Go into Bellevue for a nicer food experience.
