Coolinary

Food was amazing love the open ambiance and great service , I recommend the steak and Mac n cheese and the non alcoholic drinks .

Foods great, service is great. Drinks and food were awesome.
It's a dark, small intimate for a date but not that intimate because they get so crowded type of feel.

--Spicy Margarita - (5/5) The best one Ive ever had. It's super strong and spicy. You're getting your moneys worth for sure.
--Deviled Eggs (5/5) - Amazing, extra yolk served at the bottom of the egg. Great flavor, sauce had a kick to it. Loved it.
--Mahi Salad (4/5) - Loved the vinaigrette, salad was great, fish was a bit over cooked but seasoned well.

Tried to come back on a Sunday but I didn't check and they were unfortunately closed.

A decent restaurant in a shopping strip that worths 4 but I've two strikes against them: seating us at the table right by the busy door for their outdoor service. And the table needs napkin at the foot to stabilize it. By the time we leave, the restaurant is still empty. #2, when ordering Pinot Noir, the server offers two choices. Since I don't know any of the brands, I chose Oregon over California, as Pinot Noir is their thing. In my little experience with this kind of caliber, they'd offer me a taste, and they do, just not to me. The server returned and said, the CA one is drier. I ended up with CA, which is decent.

Modern decor with high ceiling, in dark hue. We get there a few minutes before 4, which is their opening time. Thinking we can ask if any openings for us. The staff inside remain inside. Finally when the host comes out, she said yes we've openings and will seat you once we're open.
It was 3:56. Her demeanor made me think they're fully booked ...

There are few men in casual cloth inside the restaurant - who are they?

We've four small plates - in fact, they're not small -:)
Corn - innovative
Tuscany fish bites - crunchy
Baked oysters - really good
Ceviche with taro chips - fresh but bit sweet

All are delicious, and take the chip home - too much food.

Why do they serve the small plates all at the once? Our small table hardly can accommodate four plates. Is this an industry new norm - it has been this way for a long while.

My mother told me that this restaurant was featured on Guys Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives, gave me a giftcard for my birthday. We got there at 6:30 on a Saturday night and we did not book a reservation and the restaurant was very busy so it was about an hour wait, which was totally worth it! We got to sit at the bar and the bartenders were super nice. My husband got the chicken and waffles and I got the crispy pork ramen and both dishes were delicious! The bartender recommend the carrot cake waffle for dessert and WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. kinda pricy but really yummy. Good for a special date night.

Finally got to try this place and it did not disappoint. We sat at a high top indoors near the bar. We shared a bunch of appetizers: deviled eggs, oysters, and sea bass cheek bao buns. Everything was off the charts good. My tequilla drink was amazing. I also tried the lamb sausage rigatoni and it was so flavorful. Can't believe it's taken me so long to come here and I can't wait to return:)

So I've been hemming and hawing on what I wanted to write.

So we came here with a gift card that was 3 years old. We didn't come before because of time and honestly, when looking at the menu prior seemed a bit pricey.

So we walked in, and right away, it had that upper class feel to it. We sat down in the back of the restaurant. We were greeted by our waitress.

We ended up getting a heavy water bottle pitcher. That was kinda cool. We ended up ordering whipped feta cheese. That came with 2 pieces of bread. The cheese had a sweet sauce, probably fig or honey, I forget now and some greens. It was good. I feel for 12 dollars they could of given more bread up front instead of asking for more. Then when we asked for more they gave us 1 more slice. I thought that was a bit stuck up.

Then we ordered for 27 dollars , chicken and waffles. The waffle was a half a waffle and 5 pieces of chicken strips half cut so really probably 2 and half pieces of chicken. It was good. But not for 27 dollars good. Had a hint of sweet. Chicken was good, crispy, moist.

Then my wife got the pork bowl. 30 dollars for thin, small slices of pork, I'd say a total of 10 pieces but I mean small and some noodles and cabbage. Again 30 dollars! It was good but way over priced.

Overall food was good. 4.5 good. Price wise was a 3. I think the food is wayyyyy overpriced for what you get. We spent 80 dollars and we're hungry an hour later literally. We aren't competitive eaters neither. I get you pay for the ambiance but come on!

Food is fantastic seriously amazing service
Ambiance is awesome restaurant is very cool seating

Go here for a delicious meal in a trendy atmosphere with great music and fancy mixed drinks. They didn't have any vodka cocktails so I got a ginger beer mule with $1 up charge for blended raspberries. For appetizers we had the adult mac and cheese which was made with homemade rigatoni and a light jalapeño kick- and this was excellent and I'd get it again. We also enjoyed the ceviche which had a healthy portion and plenty of plantain chips that were delish and I'd get that again. I snuck a slice of pizza and it was perfect too. For entree I Had the tilefish which had a edamame corn sauce base...it was a little light on the flavor but delicious I just needed some carbs and mixed in my sons white rice which was the best rice I ever tasted as it was perfectly seasoned with salt/pepper and it complimented the dish perfectly. Hub had the steak with the yuca waffle. Everything had a beautiful presentation and we Had excellent attentive service....they even offered us big spray when outside and when they could accommodate moving our party indoors they relocated us at my sons request.
Plenty of parking in the strip mall with lots going on in this area. Very cool things at Coolinary! I'll be back!

This was an amazing find. We were really surprised by by the menu. My husband and I both loved everything. There was an amazing miso mushroom soup. I was completely taken by it. The ceviche was amazing with jalapeño that gave it a spicy kick my husband Loved. The malanga chips are super interesting and delicious. The fish tacos were also great. We didn't like the hummus so much. The wine selection is also very Good. I had a wonderful Reisling. Desserts were Good, they are pretty sugary. The coconut ice cream was a standout. Our server Erica was very kind just a sweet heart. We would definitely go back. The ambiance is very laid back but nice.

We visited Coolinary this past weekend for dinner. We had made a reservation and they only had outdoor seating available. Upon arrival the hostess were very accommodating and arranged for us to sit inside. Our server was Ema , very attentive, knowledgeable and made great suggestions. My husband ordered the oysters as an appetizer and absolutely loved them, very fresh. I ordered the pork belly tacos and I would say they were very flavorful but way too spicy for my taste. It had plenty of jalapeños and the red sauce had my tongue on fire. My husband ended up eating them. For main course we ordered the Shrimp strozzapreti , dolphin ceviche and a kids mac and cheese. The shrimp strozzapreti was our overall favorite, pasta was cooked al dente, the cheese sauce was flavorful, I could have done without the red pepper flakes but that's my personal taste. My husband said the dolphin ceviche was just ok and it was too spicy. Maybe we both had the lingering spice from the pork belly tacos. Our daughter did enjoy her mac and cheese. We ordered the carrot cake waffle for dessert and it was good, I would have loved to have it with ice cream but again personal taste. They do offer happy hour from 4 to 6 half off beer, wine by the glass and classic cocktails.
