    The food was great, but we were seated at absolutely the worst table I have seen in a restaurant. We had a small table for two right next to the restroom door and I was looking directly at a frosted glass window into the kitchen. Not what I would expect for a place that cost $125/person plus. There were other tables available when we were seated, but we somehow drew the unlucky straw.

    A delightful gem! We felt like we were guests in a private home. Delicious food and a friendly staff. We enjoyed the quiet in an era when most restaurants try to outdo each other for noise, bad acoustics and blaring TV sports shows. We moved to the island recently, and Coho will become one of our favorite dining choices.

    We had missed lunch so went when the restaurant opened. Cojo had a price fixed menu we tried. We were able to upgrade the entrees to salmon. Luscious meal. Squash (locally served) soup and greens with a light dressing, small portions of each for first course. Salmon was moist, flavorful, but the sides were a high note: quinoa with chive-basil pesto, wild mushrooms and broccolini. With a spritz of a light vinegar something. Wow! We both loved this entree. Then a scoop of sorbet, Ginger orange for me, chocolate truffle with brandy for my husband. They also have some flights: he had a whiskey flight after the sorbet. The wine that came as part of this were good: For A Song, 13 (Merlot-syrah blend) perfect with salmon. Service was friendly, informative and consistent.

    Nicer small venue in a small resort town. Menu was yummy looking...wine list was good but not extensive. Waiter was knowledgeable and friendly, but could have been "less present." We would go back on another visit.

    Entrees were very good, but very small portions, particularly for the high prices. Had we known, we would have ordered salads and appetizers

    The reason I would not recommend this restaurant is quite simply ,the portions are very small and there is no value to the price charged. The food ,what little there was ,was tasty but NOT ample.

    We ended a day in Friday Harbor here. The small restaurant is really a fun place to relax with friends. We all had the chef's tasting menu served from 5 to 5:45. For $70 for 2 people you get soup/salad, entree, a bottle of wine, and amazing homemade ice cream. We opted to pay $8 more for the salmon. All in all an excellent meal at a great price.
