Today we dined at Coco Wood Grill and were pleasantly surprised from start to finish. If you're looking for a great value, don't miss their Sunset Menu, available from 4:00-5:30. The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was attentive, and the food definitely kept us coming back for another bite. Here are our favorites: Hangry Jen Pasta - The name says it all! This dish is huge and easily shareable. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Seafood Enchiladas - Loaded with seafood, incredibly flavorful, and topped with plenty of melted cheese. Cheese lovers will be in heaven. Petite Filet Medallions with Potatoes - The steak was perfectly tender and seasoned beautifully. The potatoes were the perfect complement and soaked up all the delicious flavors. Lobster Bisque - The standout of the meal! Every person at the table took a bite and immediately agreed this was a winner. Rich, creamy, and layered with spices that linger just enough to keep you thinking about your next spoonful. Onion Rings - Crispy, classic, and exactly what you'd expect from a good order of onion rings. Calamari - Lightly battered and cooked well. It wasn't my personal favorite, but everyone else at the table really enjoyed it. If you're in the area, Coco Wood Grill is definitely worth a visit. And if you're planning to go during peak dinner hours, I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation. We'll definitely be back! read more

This review and rating has nothing to do with the food or service which I believe to be top notch. This review and rating has to do with poor and abhorrent communication. I called on a Monday evening for reservations for 8 people for the following Saturday evening at 6pm and requested the room near the bar. I was told no problem - they could put two tables together for us. She took my name and phone number and all was good. Saturday afternoon at 4pm I received a text from Coco's stating they could not seat 8 people in the bar area - 6 people is the most they can take. I explained what happened when I tried to use their online reservation app and it kept messing up that I called and spoke to someone there who I assumed was the hostess. She asked me for the persons name and I did not remember it (5 days earlier) The hostess on the phone didn't care and again stated that the largest party allowed in that room was 6 people. I asked why she waited until 2 HOURS before the reservation to call me and she said she and the other hostess came in that night at 4 pm and saw the reservations then. I asked her if she could seat us in the main dining room and she said no they could not. This is inexcusable and bad policy to not review reservations in advance in order to notify patrons of an issue. So Saturday night before Fathers Day, 8 people -4 dads-were left to hang out to dry. read more

Parking is a nightmare unless you are smart enough to call and ask where to go?! Service was excellent. waitress told us she had 26 yrs experience. She was spot on! Food was salty and subpar in my opinion. Potatoes were not fresh. Lobster was not fresh, overcooked. I would not eat there again - too bad. Beautiful restaurant. They need a GOOD chef! read more

We had our Valentine's dinner here! I had to make a very early reservation to get in but we got a nice table by the window. Food was very beautiful and tasty. Our service was a little slow but I could tell he was very busy with many tables! This restaurant is not on the beach but we walked about 5 minutes down the street to see this sunset. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and the servers were very friendly. We loved it! We had about 3 desserts to share as a group, wine, everybody had something different but it was all really good! read more

Everything from the young lady who seated us to the end with carrot cake just beyond perfection. Our Server , Rhonda was not only efficient but an absolute pleasure. Crab cakes to die for. The macadamia crusted snapper with coconut rice and the lobster ravioli off the chart delish. Herb crusted foccacia bread and herbed oil great. The carrot cake the best ever. My husband has had very difficult time health wise this last month and this experience was just the perfect pick Me up he needed. We will be back read more

Snapper Special was overcooked. I should have sent back, especially when I realized was $39 That's on me. Here's a pic. Looked great. read more

This was our fifth time at Coco Wood and each time we love it more and more. This is our favorite dinner spot to come when we're in town. It's such a cute little house that was turned into a restaurant and has the best ambience. I love their espresso martinis. They always start you off with their homemade bread which is so delicious and then we had their fry and ice shrimp which was the first time we had tried and we absolutely loved this dish. Then we had the burrata salad which is now one of our favorites. The seafood enchiladas were so unique and delicious and you couldn't go wrong with Jen's pasta, which was yummy. Our server for this past Saturday night was Michael and he did amazing! We cannot wait to come back the next time we're in town! read more

We were in town for a wedding, and this spot came recommended by the bride, so we checked it out on our first night! Easy to make a reservation online and there is parking in a specific lot a block away! Read the website directions to locate the parking lot! The host and our server were tremendously positive and excited to welcome us to the restaurant! We sat on the patio, in a shaded spot, which doesn't have a view of the beach but feels private, beachy, and quaint! Complimentary focaccia with olive oil/balsamic for dipping arrived shortly after we sat down, which was a lovely and tasty surprise. I had the Grouper Tacos, which included a large serving of fish, slaw, lime wedge and a side of fries. I got my fish deep-fried so they were understandably on the heavy side, so shoot for grilled for a lighter alternative! Overall, a lovely spot for a bite after a long day on the beach! Would definitely recommend! read more

Our friends live just down the street and brought us here for dinner - so glad they did. The place has a relaxed coastal vibe that still feels a little upscale. Super comfortable and inviting. Our server was awesome - funny, friendly and totally on top of things. He joked around with us all night and made the whole experience even better. They started us off with warm, house-made focaccia and olive oil with balsamic. Simple, but honestly so good. The drink menu caught my eye right away - lots of craft cocktails. I went with the house sangria, which was refreshing and perfectly balanced. One of our friends ordered the smoked old-fashioned, and the presentation was wild - totally worth ordering just for the experience. For dinner, I had the grouper special with coconut rice. The fish was tender, flaky and cooked perfectly. The rice was hot and fluffy, but I was hoping for a little more coconut flavor. Our friends went with the macadamia-encrusted swordfish and instantly had food envy - they said they wished they'd ordered what I got! My husband got the filet medallions, but they were gristly and had to be sent back. The staff handled it really well and brought our a replacement without any fuss, but it came out after we were done eating, so it ended up being our turn to watch him eat. Even with that hiccup, we had such a fun night. Great food, killer drinks and amazing service. Our server really made the evening - warm, funny and so attentive. Definitely a place I'd come back to. read more

Phenomenal from start to finish! We both were so impressed & will definitely add this to our vacation meal list! My husband has a gluten allergy, & Coco Wood Grill has plenty of options to accommodate. Even GF crab cakes, which were so yummy! He also had a grilled grouper sandwich on a GF bun. I went with the Weekly Reel, which was a macadamia nut & coconut crusted Snapper. It was served with coconut basmati rice, grilled veggies & a peach mango salsa. Soooo good, so fresh. My toddler devoured their homemade focaccia bread & French fries. Our service was so lovely, & our server was so kind to explain the GF accommodations for different items. It's family owned, which we loved. Great for special occasions or family dining. We had a wonderful experience, great meal & can't wait to go back! read more

First time at Coco Wood Grill. The food was delicious, including the gluten free crab cakes. Our server, Rhonda, was very attentive and helpful when selecting our dinner. Nice indoor dining area as well as a large patio outside. Will definitely return. read more

This is such a classy and comfortable place! We just popped in for desert, but had plenty of time to chat with the bartender (he was super friendly and great to talk to) who suggested the bread pudding for desert. I paired it with an old fashioned, and it was absolutely outstanding. Can't wait to come back for dinner! read more

This neighborhood restaurant was a block from our VRBO and we needed up eating dinner here twice and stopped in for dessert once during our weeklong vacation. The bartenders were super nice and the manager also gave us suggestions in the area to visit for music and food too. The outdoor patio area was fantastic and accommodated our entire group (2 adults and 7 kids) one night and the bar area was fun for dessert (just my wife and i for a drink). The teenage boys ordered the burgers 1 night (said they were the best they have had in a long time) and the fish and chips another night (big portions). Also the had a banana rum old fashioned that was very tasty as well. Seems like a great place for a date night or large group. If you are staying in the area this was a gem tha we would recommend based on our spring break trip. read more

For spring break we went to Florida and when we went inside it was very beautiful and our server Miranda was very pleasant and helpful with our dinner. Also the food was very delish our family had enjoyed the food and we had full tummies. Inside the restaurant it was very cool and I liked how inside there were dim light with candles. The bathroom was very pretty with all the decorations like the pictures and the sink was like our home. All in all I would definitely come back here again. read more

Overall Rating - 4.34 Service 5/5 Host - Rhonda Service was wonderful. Rhonda paid us great attention and went back and forth for the children's items needed (broken straws, ranch, ketchup). She was friendly and attentive when discussing my allergies (allergic to seafood) she entered it into her pad to make sure it was handlers correctly. Having it delivered by itself then with the other seafood. She got refills in a timely manner . Food - 5 / 5 Food was done very well it had great flavor. My partner had fish and chips 5/5. I had the Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich. Which is more of a burger. The fries usually come with that but because they fry everything together I got Spanish rice instead. Allergy - 4.75/5 I called ahead and they said they could accommodate seafood allergies. They handled my allergies with great consideration. They fry everything in the same fryer and use flattops. However they do have pans that go on the flattops to cook individual food. That's how they made my sandwich without cross contamination. I do wish they have an allergy menu which I see in restaurants a lot more of these days. Most of the other restaurants fry seafood in separate fryers to accommodate food allergies more. I would suggest this restaurant doing that so I would have more options. (Wasn't able to order fries, etc) Environment / Ambiance - 4/5 Very cramped. We had a party of 8 ( 2 young children). The noise level seems to be pretty loud so it's hard to make some conversation. Restrooms - 5/5 Clean, they used a candle to keep the area from smelling bad. Accessibility - 3/5 (Written by an able bodied person) The bathrooms have an accessible stall. However the restaurant is really busy and it would be hard for them to accommodate individuals with wheelchairs during peek hours due to how cramped the building is and how close the tables are to one another. We did not see any accessible parking near the entrance we had to park two blocks from the restaurant. Sensory 4/5 Touch - table, floors, and chairs were clean. No stickiness or debris. Smell - there is a muggy or moldy smell. Also the smell from the candle may be overwhelming for some sensory sensitive individuals. Sound / Noise Level - 71 db Average. Difficult to make conversation. There was not music. Sight - the lights are really low so at night it's kinda hard to see in the place. LGBTQ+ Rating 4/5 No support signage. Did not experience any homophobia or issues. Would Be Back / Would Recommend Yeah I would go back and recommend this place and would come back. read more

Coco Wood Grill - Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwhich - New American Near Me - Redington Shores, Florida

My first experience here this kind of infusion of Latin foodies. I was not too fond of the flavors. A bit too sweet for me . The tacos were more like panda express flavors not steak , more like chicken. The place is awesome the decor amazing . I just hoped the food was more kept to its own cuisine , not a melting pot of two different cultures. I get the idea but the flavors are too sweet for me. The margaritas I loved , a must have !!!! I will give it a try again and just stick to a seafood meal than Latin combination... The service was great the waiters are very attentive. read more

We stopped in on a whim without a reservation and were seated immediately but it was super busy after we were seated. We had a smoked cherry bomb cocktail that was smoked table side and a glass of sangria. Both were so good. We order the Hangry Jan seafood dish and the special of the evening which was a seared pork chop with peach salsa and both were fantastic! Service was great and ambiance was perfect for the two of us. The tuna poke nachos were delicious also and all food was delivered quickly. Thank you Coco Wood for a fantastic meal! read more

The staff is so nice and the food is top notch! I love it that it's here at the beach. Nice wine menu and fresh food selections.

Great place for dinner with inside and outside options. Incites a full bar with bartenders willing to mix up something unique if you ask. We've never been disappointed with the food. We usually choose seafood centric dishes here, but their pulled pork sliders are delish also. The service is always good and the people always come across as friendly and happy to be there. So refreshing! Go eat here! And drink here too! (Ask for the local blueberry vodka they carry - SOOOO good!) read more

I have to just say... WOW! This place made me feel like I was part of the family! OK, so I'm in town for work and we were trying to find a place to eat that was close to our accommodations for a work dinner. However, I'm Vegan. Now, I'm really surprised that there are wonderful vegan options in the area, but not everyone in the group wanted to eat only plants. I had seen on Google that Coco wood grill had offered Vegan options in the past, but when I checked the menu, there were none. The woman who answered the phone to take our reservation happened to be the owner and said she would see if her husband (who was the chef) could accommodate us. When we called back to push back the reservation, she had informed us that he could. However, they honestly went above and beyond. From the warm greeting when we walked in the door to the excitement that our server ,Annette ,had to tell me about the dish that said chef created for me. I'm definitely not going to forget to mention how amazing our server Annette was as well. She was attentive, efficient, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu items. She joked with us, but gave us space when we needed to conduct business. Anyway, the Vegan dish was phenomenal with fresh ingredients and the chef even came out to check on us. If you are Vegan, please go and check them out because you will be pleasantly surprised! Everyone in my party was very happy with their meal as well... Everything looked phenomenal! It is truly hard to find a regular restaurant that will accommodate and make a vegan meal on the fly like that.... And make it good. So, kudos to you guys! No wonder why you were packed. I will be back every time. I'm in town. read more

I continue to believe this is the best food, atmosphere and service with a smile restaurant for miles around. There is always a dish on the menu or special that I don't have to have them "tweek" at all for me to eat it. With having celiac and also many other food related issues this place always has something amazing I can eat right off the menu! Truly if you haven't tried this place yet, what are you waiting for? Amazing and they all treat you like you are their favorite customer and friend! Love them and for sure will be back!! read more

Came tonight on a total whim. First I would like to compliment the staff they were personable and made the visit a treat. The place is clean and nice although the back portion where we sat was really dark. Some great options for dinner but we were just looking for quicker things so I got empanadas appetizer and my friend ordered chicken ranch bacon sandwich. The sandwich was huge she said great flavor and fries were cridpy and great flavor. The empanadas are in connection with local company. Flavors change each day. The flavor was really good but they were quite small! I would definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

Excellent food and great service. Fun environment and Taco Tuesday is a great deal. Amazing Old Fashion selection

Service was excellent! Appetizers were great. Crab cakes and buffalo shrimp. Main dishes were just ok. Salmon was good. Lobster ravioli was just ok. Only a very small pinch of lobster on top of it. Shrimp Alfredo was ok. Kids Alfredo was not good. Think it was the Alfredo sauce that just wasn't great. Nice little place just too pricey for what we thought was just average. read more
