Reviews of J. Coco (Restaurant)

Lib Long

Delicious risotto. I was impressed!

Zeus Richards

My wife and I ordered the usual pork belly steamed buns, and the Korean style short rib tacos which is our favorite meal here, their food was always superb. I just wished I had better service, service was slow and staff weren't accomodating.

Peter Steyger

Smart restaurant in heart of Dundee, with excellent servers and local steak!

Doug Ekizian

Very attentive, friendly, and accommodating staff. Nice selection of cocktails, beers, and wines by the glass. Food was decent but not memorable. I had the trout special. The fish was good, but the sauce was excessively heavy and overwhelming. Lamb meatball appetizer was good, but dry. My colleagues had the wagyu hamburger and short rib entree and seemed to enjoy them. All in all, a nice experience but being from out of town, J. Coco probably wouldn't be a place I'd rush back to.

Incredible food, excellent service, good portions. Cocktails are unique and appetizers are awesome.

Vivian Amu

Love, love, love this place. Highly recommended.

Stephan Swafford

Excellent sea bass. Nice place

Todd Shackelford

Holy smokes that was good. I am not sure that I am fancy enough to eat here, but I am glad that I did.

Mike Hurt

Very nice ambiance, modern, elegant, but not pretentious. Food was excellent and service was pleasant. We were travelling from out of town, and chose based on reviews. Did not disappoint! Prices were moderately high, but quality and the atmosphere were in line. The Cuban sandwich was the best I've ever had anywhere! Their house made ketchup is crazy good!

george hewitt

Lovely dinner from the new menu.

Barbara Mendez

Not really that impressive!! Waitress was great. food wasn't that good.

Jordan Jewell

Very wuality experience, from the atmosphere to the food.

Steven Macfarlane

Well executed menu and top-notch service. Do not miss this experience.

Mike Larsen

I visited this place recently for a “date night”. It’s a good place to be able to talk and enjoy an evening. It has the feel of a more upscale place but the prices are pretty reasonable. The food and service were both excellent.

Dana S'aulis

Food was delicious. Staff was lovely and atmosphere was nice and quiet.

CAROLYN PETTUS

The food was fantastic!!!! We enjoyed the Sea Bass/the Shrimp and Grits and Collard Greens. The customer service was FRIENDLY AND GREAT!!!!! Jose, the bartender/chef, knows his way around the bar. Jose treated us like royalty with GREAT COCKTAILS. Happy hour starts at 4pm. Thank you J. CoCo!!!!

Patrick Martin

Fantastic cocktails and cuisine!

C Powers

Always great food. Nice to go to a restaurant where the chef makes a point of greeting guests and where much of the staff has been on board forever. You HAVE to try the buffalo cauliflower appetizer.

Rob W

A real treat of well prepared dishes.

Tyler Radke

Great place to grab a tasty desert and glass of wine. Perfect for dates.

Tom Cochran

Delicious food and good wine selection. Be sure to get dessert from the in house pastry chef!

TheGoddessnme8

Delicious! Best rib eye I've had in years!

Stefan Hoerner

excellent place to eat

Good Fam

Went for lunch 11/08/18. Upscale business attire. The place was clean and the service was excellent. The food was outstanding.

Penny Bless

Wow! Fantastic food, great service and atmosphere.

Andrew Fairhead

Supurb surf and turf restaurant! Staff was excellent, very knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive, right down to serving the ladies first. The food was amazing and I would highly recommend the beef tenderloin!

Kathryn McCary

One of my favorites for a special occasion.

Nathan Wetjen

Nice cozy atmosphere, awesome personable service and killer buffalo cauliflower app!

c Weis

Very good food. Excellent presentation.

sara goudge

If you have a food allergy it’s best to avoid this place. Though the waitstaff did their best, it’s pretty clear that the kitchen staff doesn’t not take celiac seriously.

Kay Thacker

Solid wine and drink list. Creative entrees, diverse salad options and delicious desserts.

bryan murray

Try the salmon, or the special- had halibut, recently, quite delicious with a range of wine. Highly recommend.

Lyn Greenlee

Fantastic food and outstanding service!

Matt Koth

excellent food and customer service!

Ray Gering

My wife and I had dinner here for the first time for our anniversary, and I can definitely see why we've only heard good things! From the atmosphere to the service and of course, the delicious food, the experience was all around fantastic! The menu is a little small, but has plenty of options, both in items as well as pricing. Loved it!

Robert Carrillo

One of the best meals we’ve ever eaten. We tried J. Coco for the first time at lunch last week. Great atmosphere although parking is limited (worth it as it turns out). Friendly and attentive staff. We started with tempura calamari which was fabulous. Very lightly breaded with a bright tasting pico. My guest had the daily special, pan fried trout over a sweet potato lasagna with a side of fried Brussel sprouts. The fish was seasoned perfectly and fell off the skin. The sweet potatoes beneath complimented it perfectly. The sprouts were packed with flavor and had a sweetness like desert (balsamic & honey my guess). I had the petite beef tenderloin (med rare) over mashed with corn and bacon and a delicious chimmichuri sauce on top, along with a side of mac & cheese Every bite was a perfect combination of flavors. The mac and cheese was decadent. We’re spreading the word about this place and look forward to trying the dinner menu!

matt maly

Great food friendly atmosphere good time

jose ramos

Tasty lunch & great service

Myrna Johnson

Intimate locals favorite restaurant with a nice variety of dishes. Olive and hummus appetizer was great. Fried olives seemed like something we should try and they were delicious. The calamari wasn’t as successful (slightly undercooked) and bland. The beef tenderloin dinner was terrific. Lovely beef cut on a bed of lobster risotto and a side of broccolini. The small house salad was a good starter and the champagne vinaigrette wasn’t over sweet. My companions enjoyed their meals as well. The strip steak comes with onion ring toppings. The noise level was tremendous and shouting was required. Service was very good. Large wine selection though non alcoholic drink choices are limited to the usual sodas and San Pelligrino water.

the car fix

It was awesome great food

ShemaSam

I ordered the Mac n cheese and it reminded me of when you meet a guy who is handsome kind smart and doing well and then realize he is really boring. However, I also ordered the steambuns and they were so amazing and the staff was awesome so I've decided not to deduct any stars.

Ruth Hashberger

The brussel sprouts are amazing!!!! Wonderful selection of wines and the Wagyu hamburger was delicious!

Janna Kittle

Loved the food and wine selection here. They have indoor and outdoor seating, which was great for our dinner on a summer night. Our waiter was a bit... unconventional, but he did a good job and even recommended great wine pairings. We picked off the restaurant week menu which was a guys deal. The desert was our favorite, it was a berry and custard dish and we talked about it for days!

Chris Frampton

Service was fast and courteous. Ordering was accurate and portions were both generous in quality and quantity. Beyond impressed with J Coco! My wife loved it.

Eric Yarwood

I've eaten here many times. The food is amazing. Only down side to the place is it's loud. The drink selection is great, and the ingredients are top notch. It's a great spot for a quick sandwich or a longer evening.

Andrea Serflaten

Quite little place with delicious food. Parking can sometimes be an issue, but the food is totally worth that inconvenience.

Kaylene Powell

Nice atmosphere, delicious food! Reasonable prices, friendly and accommodating waitstaff.

Ashley Duke

Best seabass I've ever had. Great cocktails. Highly recommend!

Brad K

Great restaurant, service and food!

Mikel Severe

We had three great dinners at J Coco. Chef Jen is amazing and has so many wonderful dishes. The bone marrow, brussel sprouts and all the proteins are prepared to perfection.

Bobby Kunkle

Easily the best meal I have eaten this year. WOW! Amazing. Precision. Excellence. Flavor. Freshness. You NEED to try this restaurant out.

Nick Manhart

Creative and delicious food. Competant service.

Gabriela VA

Have in mind its a pricey restaurant, but worth the money. Service was good and quick. Food was delicious, and the ambiance was nice and cozy. Would definitely return!

Smokey McGee

This place is great!! Make sure you try the burger, its big & AMAZING!! (I also recommend the Mac & Cheese). Scottie the bartender is great to, great conversation& good drinks :)

Laura Grams

The food is very good. A bit pricey, but nicely done and presented gracefully. The menu includes unique combinations and twists on familiar offerings.

Jake Burklund

Great food and a quaint, hip atmosphere.

Adam Woodrow

This place was amazing! I’d definitely come back. Menu was excellent and innovative. The service was flawless. We had the buffalo cauliflower bites, seabass with cashew vinaigrette, and seared duck breast with apricot puree. All were delicious! I was honestly blown away.

K

Food was very tasty! It was a little loud but the restaurant was completely full so understandably so. Sandwiches are a generous portion.

Neil Lockman

Burger way over cooked. Rude comments. But did come back and apologize.

Doris Phillips

Drinks,food,great service all a plus

Joy Utterback

I cannot get over how mind blowing the sea bass is! Never get anything else!

Bob Bremer

Lunch service was excellent. Bahn Mi sandwich was phenomenal. A bit pricey, but it didn't break the bank.

Debbie Peterson

Excellent food with friendly wait staff!

Carie Lynch

Great ambiance. The white fish was trout for the evening and it was delicious! So light and flavorful. My husband ate the shaved prime rib and liked it. Would definitely go back again.

Dale Wall

It's all great.... Atmosphere, staff, quality of food, reasonable price.

Missy Johnson

Food is always amazing, as is the service. It's one of my top favorite places to take friends visiting from out of town. And creme brulee, always.

Morgan Ricketts

Always a good experience here one of the best in Omaha!

Samantha Miller

Our server, Scott was very kind, knowledgable of the menu, and made many helpful recommendations. The gal that sat us also came around towards the end and boxed up the remainder of our meals The food was equally as exceptional as the service. Will most definitely be visiting again.

Donnie Jamison

Wonderful people and Jenny is one of the most sincere people I have ever met.

Mark Ford

There was apparently "confusion" re our reservation, so we didn't get our table when planned. We waited 15-20 minutes and we finally seated by ourselves in a little back room near the kitchen with an open counter fully open to the food prep area and all the activity of the kitchen and it's workers (loud) - and also no outside windows. It was "strange," and I guess I would have preferred to wait longer for a real table in the main dining area - or just leave disappointed. The overall experience was "odd." Too bad.

David Ortman

Consistently amazing food and the atmosphere is wonderful

Jennifer Lamar

Great atmosphere and terrific food.

Kerry McMurtry

It's been a few years since I've been in and it was exactly what I remembered. Everything was great! I've missed that beer salad!

Danielle Meier

Food, drinks, and service all were on point - delicious first stop at J. Coco, and my husband and I will be back.

Quinton Fauntleroy

Great, prompt service. Generous portions and delicious food! I truly recommend the iced tea for tea lovers (it has passion fruit mixed in).

Lisa Clark

I was in town for the week and had the pleasure of dining at J. Coco last night. My meal was perfectly prepared. She uses fresh, high quality ingredients. The flavor was tremendous and presentation was beautiful. Whether you are looking to impress someone special, taking a client out for a tour of Omaha, or just heading out for dinner, try J. Coco! By far the best meal I had in Omaha!

Natalie Peterson

Food is consistently excellent, service is friendly, and the space feels bigger than it is due to all the natural light.

Martin Brown

Superb food and atmosphere! Outstanding dishes, very friendly staff and service was fast! Brussels sprouts are so tasty, my kids loved it!

Gregg Drabek

Simply awesome food. Loved their tenderloin medallions and the sea bass. A bit noisy due to acoustics of the building but intimate enough for the wife's birthday dinner. We love the place!

Micah Ringlein

The service was extremely fast and the presentation was beautiful. Our waitress listened attentively to our requests and followed through. She also rushed our check per our request and was back before I knew it. I can see the appeal for a particular group of people that I don't fit in with. It smelled like patchouli, baby powder, and aromatic oils. I was instantly put off by these odors. The place was packed inside and is definitely doing something right, just not for me.

Matt Heck

Have eaten here a few times. Great food and good service every time.

Alyssa Thomas

Fantastic food! Cant wait to go back. I had the yellow fin tuna salad and my husband had the New York strip, no complaints on either!

Kodi Williamsen

First time here and won't be the last! The duck was my favorite dish here, appetizers were amazing. Service was on point and took very good care of us. Would have been 5 stars, but the party room we were in seemed like it had no air conditioning, it was very hot inside and I lost my appetite due to that. Otherwise I highly recommend it!

Larry Newton

Always high quality in food and service.

Andrew Kalina

Incredible menu, knowledgeable staff, and wonderful atmosphere. Perfect for a date or a family get together

Darryl Gilbert

Decent food but I felt it was overpriced for what it was.

Tim Smith

Outstanding service and attention to detail. One of the best overall restaurant experiences we've had in a long while. But we won't wait as long next time.

April Awesome

Hands down, the best restaurant in Omaha. Amazing food.

Jonathan Hernandez

I went here for my Birthday lunch with my family. The Crispy Monte Cristo was in my top 3 Monte Cristo's of all time, and I've had a lot of them. Also pictured is the creme brulee.

Debra Petersen

Excellent food!

Sarah Ray

Food was really good. Meat and cheese platter had a good variety and the daily special was morel mushrooms which were exceptional. I would definitely visit again when I'm in town.

Jim Mitchell

Food really wasn't that good/flavorful, and the service was abysmal. I really had high hopes for this place, but it definitely let me down....

JANIE WELSH

Great dining experience!!! Good food! Good service!! Good prices!!!

Michael Smith

Had the special for the night ( pork tenderloin and lasagna) looked like art work and tasted just as good. Also order a side dish of brussel sprouts not your average sprouts so good. I'll just say anything with bacon is better. Ordered a to go order for my wife the wyosomething burger with avocado and egg she said it was outstanding as she ate it without breathing meat itself was perfectly cooked. Great job!!!! Mike with Aksarben Locksmiths LLC.

Anya Furey

Delicious and reasonable lunch menu ! Try their Cobb salad and their sandwiches. Delish. Friendly service too.

Ashlee Medeiros

They let us have the private room for my birthday. It was a very special event, great service and even better food!! They also allow you to bring in your own wine for those of you with a particular taste ;)

Marcela Kudo

Disappointing experience. Upon entrance the waitress asked ''can i help you?'' as if we were lost and didn't know what we were doing. I had to tell her we were there to eat. Then, we ordered an appetizer and 2 gimblets. The appetizer was good, the gimblets were badly prepared. The worst I had ever tried. We had had bass and gimblets before and a very pleasant dinner evening. This time the combination of snobbish attitude and bad drinks made it awful for us.

C R

Great Waygu burger, good service also. I had a nice dinner with my family and enjoyed the contemporary atmosphere. I would reccomend J. Coco to anyone looking for a nice, reasonably priced dining experience.

lindsey creekmore

Best happy hour in Omaha!

Mike McCallie

Great drinks and inventive cuisine. Always a good time at J Coco's

Gonzalo Palma

Love the attention and the food is amazing

Brad Simmons

The food was excellent. Try the brussel sprouts. Great place for a date or special occasion. Parking can be a little difficult.

Navdeep Brar

Nice place to get drink

Wes Zeger

Good food (steak and steelhead), reasonable range of food options with varying price points. Staff friendly. Outdoor seating available (summer). They have a shared parking area which allows for adequate close parking. I would not bring my young kids there, ambiance geared more for adults. It's also hard to know the raters reference scale. Here is mine: 4 stars is a good rating, 3 stars is average. Large restaurant chains (not including "higher end" chains like Morton's, Sullivan's etc.) would generally never make it above a 3. I wouldn't include fast food places in a scaled rating calculus because all of them would get a 0 star rating.

Thomas Stefkovich

Great food

Patsy Engelke

Good food, but expensive, good atmosphere, excellent wait staff.

Jon Ellsworth

Happy hour is amazing! Love Scott the manager!!! Can't go wrong with the food either. The wagyu burger is super good and priced well. So is the shaved prime rib sandwich if your looking for cheaper eats. Their steak is really good and so is the Duck when they have it. Love this place.

phil lieber

Food was fantastic until I got back to the office. Diarrhea, all the symptoms of food poisoning. Called to talk and argued with me that I am fine. You know within hours if you have food poisoning and manager told me it takes 14 hours and nothing we did to give you issues. Not our problem. Just trying to help and make sure they inspect. Hell with trying to help, and never go back. Attitude is everything and with that attitude they won't be around.

lance affolter

Well... moved here this year and have always loved the restaurant....how did we not know they were pet friendly until now......Where is the 10star button on the reviews!!!!! Great food....great service...and any place that allows pets gets an extra 5 stars in my book!!!!!!

Michael Berry

The food at J Coco is wonderful. Always creative. Never had a bad meal.

Sean Typher

Very delicious food, and the drinks were great as well. A little pricy, but good for a celebratory dinner

ruth richter

Food was unbelievably delicious, sitting outside was nice. The service was really off.

Nathan Higgs

One of the best places in town. Consistent, with attention to detail. You should eat here.

Dawn Jourdan

Awesome food

Jessica Chatman

Great service, delicious food, and a fun & friendly staff. Will definitely go back!

Sharon Farrell

Fantastic! Was nice to see what they did to my neighborhood grocery, beautiful! Dinner was excellent, thank you Jen Coco!

D Aaron

Great food and drinks the only downside was it seems to draw a some immature people who are way to good for everything and everyone around them. The only reason I say this is my wife and I brought my grandmother here and she was treated very poorly by the customers at the table next to us. I mean grow up high school for you people was 20 years ago! The waitress over heard what they were saying and moved us immediately. You would have been given 5 stars if they were asked to leave. Sorry I won’t be back.

Bryant McCann

Near perfect service, plenty of recommendations! Menu is top to bottom great! Expect a great experience.

Jacob Nelson

The service we received was outstanding, and the atmosphere was vibrant yet enjoyable. The entrees were great.

Joe Hazel

Great food and cocktails. Staff is incredible!

Atman Dave

Terrible food, went in with high expectations for my wife’s graduation dinner. They did give us a gift card when we pointed out something was off, though the second time was a little better.

Michael Ashton

Fabulous food and service,

Carol Hernandez

Awsume food great evening to have dinner on the patio.

Peter Tynan

Excellent food and service. Great choice for a special dinner.

Matt Waid

They like to close early and have inconsistent hours. Had a reservation one night and got turned away because they forgot to check their computer before closing the kitchen. Called multiple other times for to-go orders and the kitchen closes at least an hour before posted hours. Have had good dining experiences there in the past and the food is usually good, just wish they could be more consistent with the hours.

Jill Kussman

Amazing food!!

Shari

Lovely date night restaurant! Cozy and great food! Can't help leaving here with a full belly and smile on your face!

Lynda Emge

Happy Hour cant be beat. Beautiful place. Very nice staff.

David Hendrixson

I had the salmon and my wife had the sea bass, both were excellent! Service and atmosphere were perfect. Wonderful dining experience.

Ashley Passolt

I thought this place was way too crowded and loud and the food was just so-so for the price point.

Cyndy Ingraham

This is my favorite restaurant in Omaha. From the food to the ambiance to the staff, everything at J coco is top of the line!

Jeff Moffat

Mussels and calamari were great appetizers. Plenty of food for four people. I had the shaved prime rib sandwich for lunch, and I have no complaints.

Dan Jenkins

Delicious food, great atmosphere and great service. This was my first time but not my last.

Emma Marshall

One of my favorites in town! Always leave asking myself way I don't come more! GREAT party room in back with private bar. Perfect for small events!

Dan Ostergard

Top of my list...no place better. Sublime deliciousness...creative menu... the best soups... comfortable atmosphere with incredible service.

Bill Seitzler

Such good food and the wait staff was terrific. Very fun atmosphere.

Keli Reed

Everything was amazing. Great service and great food.

tasha brooks

Oh my goodness!!! Everything from the hostess to the food wine and romantic tablescape was awesome!!!

Kathie Kushik

A lovely place with a comfortable atmosphere and nice people. Knowledgeable staff and and clean.

John McIlheran

I was very impressed with this restaurant. The interior is very comfortable. While I was there, the noise level was quiet, which made the meeting I attended each to conduct. In short, I would go back again.

Margaret Cooter

Interesting and delicious menu, lovely setting, great service.

Meridith G

Overall the food was good. I made the mistake of ordering the Prime Rib sandwich which was tough. The salad dressing was fantastic. I wish they would bottle it. I will go back again to try the oxtail stroganoff. The service was slow. I know there was a party in back and the place was full but we had to ask several times for different items. The food did come out at different times for our group of seven.

queen rules

I’ve have eaten here for lunch and dinner, the chefs never disappoint, fresh quality food. Sara was our server today and she took very good care of us. This is one of my favorite restaurants to frequent.

Brandi Paul

One of the BEST dining experiences my husband and I have had in a long time!!! We tried J. Coco during Omaha Restaurant Week and enjoyed an amazing 3-course meal. From the warm greeting at the front door, to our server, and of course, our meal itself, exceptional experience. Our food was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Full of flavor, exquisite quality, and the dessert was literally moan-worthy, in a great way! We will 100% be back to J.Coco - we highly recommend!

Mary L Johnson

Had a bad experience, called the restaurant, in case there was a misunderstanding, left message, never received a return call. A restaurant of this calibar, a call was expected.

christy sorensen

Excellent food and service. Will definately return.

Kevin Girouex

Was working next door so stopped in for lunch. Food was a Generous proportion,extremely good, and fairly priced I think. I had the oxtail that they have on special and it was $12 for the giant bowl. Everyone inside was dressed business casual and I made a comment to the waiter that I should come back with a suit on. He replied telling me come one come all they accept everyone how they are. I’ll be bringing my wife back to try some more amazing food

Jim W

It's kind of pricey, and the food quality is average. Had a patty melt for lunch and it was clearly burnt around the edges of the bread

Skylar Dodds

Great happy hour for a decent cocktail

chuck conboy

Jennifer runs a top rate restaurant The menu is amazingly diverse. The staff is very friendly. Definitely make reservations on a weekend night, though. Very busy.

Omar Correa

Great food and service!

Brian Kudera

Delicious, cozy, unforgettable. Reservations suggested unless you don't mind bar top!

Aaron Persen

Always good food and service.

Jason Ackland

My favorite American restaurant in town
