About this business

Striving for upbeat atmosphere, this restaurant features high-color textured walls with a sea-life motif. The substantial menu centers on seafood but also includes chicken and chops. Try any of the fruitwood-smoked meats and fishes, the wood-grilled pork loin chops for example. The menu also includes a long list of "small plates," encouraging the practice of making a meal of several starters. Fresh salads and pasta plates round out the mix.

Great new dish ... smoked chicken penne – Just had lunch again today at Coho and tried a new dish on their "special" sheet?a generous serving of smoked chicken in a creamy sauce with soft goat cheese, mushrooms, spinach and a touch of seasoning served over penne pasta. It?s sinfully rich so I?d recommended a nice white wine as accompaniment. The waiter explained that the chicken is smoked fresh on the premises by their chef, so that it?s never dry when served (as can often happen to smoked chicken). --- from an earlier exper... read more

Excellent food & stellar service – I'm a relatively picky and hard-to-please diner and regularly dine in high(er) end restaurants in the Seattle metro area. I loathe poor service. I've also tried every single restaurant in Redmond (fast food chains excluded), many of them many times. I've been a patron of Coho Cafe since the day it opened. I dine out a LOT. So, where does someone with this profile dine at regularly? Coho Cafe. Would I recommend it? Unequivocally and without reservation, yes. Here's why: The service I've rece... read more

Business response:

You are awesome! What an incredible compliment and testimonial. We take every review seriously and really focus to correct any issues that may be presented in them. It?s so important to the management that sometimes we forget to acknowledge the fantastic job that our crew does on a daily basis. It is a humbling and pleasant experience when our own guests remind us of the fact and do it for us! It means a lot to the crew to know that their hard work and efforts are noticed and appreciated. It means even more to me that you to... read more

Did not live up to expectations – Based on reviews from several websites, I was expecting at least a four star experience from our first dinner at Coho. Also based on these reviews, I took my whole family. The service was four star. The wait staff was excellent, they were really on top of making sure we were taken care of. They forgot to bring our appetizer before our meal, which was annoying, but made up for it by comping one of our desserts (they even comped the most expensive one we ordered). The only real problem was tha... read more

If you love Fish and Chips do not go to COHO! – I could go on a bit about this but I will be brief. The waitstaff was more interested in chatting among themselves than taking care of this particular customer. The menu sounds delicious and at $16.50 for the Halibut and Chips I was hoping for something special. I have a real weakness for good fish and chips. What they served me could cure that weakness. What I got for my $20.00 with tip was mostly deep fried beer batter and Ore Ida frozen french fries. I've had more meaty and ... read more

Business response:

No excuses, sometimes you just blow and it certainly sounds like this was one of those times. We are humbly apologetic and thank you sincerely for bringing these issues to our attention. The problems are now fixed and if you?re willing, we would like to invite you back for another try (on us of course). Give us a call at 425-885-2646 and ask for Kara or Denise. Humbly yours; From all of us at the Coho Cafe Steve Price, President

Kid Friendly, Mother Approved – I am writing to say how much I appreciate my neighborhood restaurant. Thank you Coho Cafe for being so kid friendly, reasonably priced and delicious. We are a busy family and one of our favorite things to do is dine at Coho Cafe. They are always so friendly and accomodating, especially with my children. Trying to dine with three young children is always a challenge but the people at Coho always make my family feel so welcome. The staff seems to pay special attention to our needs and many of th... read more

Business response:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Since most of us have children it is natural for us to welcome them with open arms. We do, however, worry whether we can achieve that delicate balance between providing a lively entertaining environment for the adults while at the same time provide a safe friendly environment for the kids. We are extremely proud to know that we have succeeded with your family. Thank you so much for letting us know. Sincerely, The Coho Crew

Best in Redmond – I never write these things but like to give kudos when well deserved. Coho Cafe nails it. We've always dined out alot so are pretty critical. Coho is our go-to place for romantic dinners....the salmon, service and cocktails are perfect. And, we are tending to go out for their Happy Hour more than we should. The bar is beautiful but what I really lust after is my crab and avocado tower (new invention by the chef) and gorgeous glass of wine, together still under ten bucks. Why stay home? Why drink overpriced ... read more

Business response:

We're so glad that you have enjoyed your visits with us! It's always a pleasure to hear when we have made a new friend. Thank you so much for letting us know! As far as moving in...it probably would be better if you just visit us more often, the cleaning crew can get a little roudy in the middle of the night! Thanks again The Coho Crew

Love the Place! – I am new to the area and one of my friends reccommended the Coho Cafe. I read some reviews online and most were favorable. I am a bit of a self claimed "foody" and typically choose a more upscale environment but I kept hearing about Coho so I thought I would give it a try. I'm Glad I did!! My family and I went last weekend and although the place was packed, the hostess sat us within 15 minutes of checkeing in. We were impressed by the look of the restaurant and the staff was very friendly. I had the seafood... read more

Business response:

Welcome to the neighborhood! We are very pleased you enjoyed your first visit at the Coho and are grateful to your friends who recommended us. We look forward to taking care of you again in the future. I would also like to say that in todays busy and stressful world we are often quick to point out problems but sometimes forget to express our gratitude for a job well done. Positive feedback from our guests means everything to our crew and really makes them proud of the work they do. So from everyone at the Coho Cafe please ex... read more

Friendliest Restaurant in Town – We live and work in Redmond and dine at the Coho's often. Despite the fact that they are always busy, we have never had a bad meal or poor experience. The staff is friendly, curteous and helpful. It feels good when we walk in and the staff recognizes us and treats us like family. Keep up the good work!! Best place to dine on the Eastside.

I don't think my food was cooked to order, and the manager tried to send me away with a replacement To-Go box! – Having lived and worked in the area for the last 5 years, this became a regular spot for me, both for business lunches and for weekend dinners where we wanted something simple and comfortable, and maybe a cocktail or two. The food has always been consistent and pretty good, and I've always been impressed with the prawns (fresh, meaty, cooked well). The place was packed with a 45 minute wait. I ordered off the fest... read more

Business response:

Mgratzer First, let me tell you how extremely apologetic we are that you had to experience this type of food and service at one of our restaurants! No matter how tempting it is to make excuses as to why it may have happened we know there is simply no excuse! We blew it and would like to offer you our sincerest apologies. Second, let me express to you my appreciation for taking the time to write this review. A negative review is never pleasant to read but it does provide valuable feedback into to the nature of the problem and... read more
