"A friend and I came here for dinner yesterday evening Monday . We had a reservation and were sat 10min after; place was packed!Decor is cute and earnest and generally the vibes were good. Good for couples or smaller groups, every table was very lively. That said, it was raining that evening and there weren’t umbrellas for patio seating had heaters instead . Not sure about that move.We opted for the “Classics” set menu for $58pp, which included: Ora King Salmon Pork Dumplings Nasi Goreng Butter Chicken Dry Aged Branzino Jasmine Rice Roti Thai Tea PuddingFood was good, but not excellent and none of the dishes particularly stood out, except for the dessert which we really enjoyed and the branzino which was very dry. Additionally, ordering the set menu for 2 was no better value than simply ordering dishes individually and I wish we had done that. Worth noting that there are no hard spirits on the drink menu — only wine and 2 wine-based cocktails.Food came out quickly, but we felt rushed by the pacing of each course and had the effect of feeling like an assembly line and preparation not being totally fresh; rice was dry, roti stiff, fish dry like it had been sitting a while. This was compounded by being approached by our server to pay for our meal “my manager asked that you close out your tab before I leave” before dessert had been served; server should instead say he’s leaving us in the hands of his manager.Also, weirdly we were not offered any knives in our flatware and dishes came without serving spoons every time. No offers to replace the small plates between the curry and saucy fish either. We spilled some rice early on in the meal oops , but it was never cleaned off the table despite new courses coming and going. I’ll chalk this up to management needing to tighten up training and work out the kinks in ops.Maybe it was an off night, but I think more attention to the details would go a long way and make Cobi’s a real winner.We had a fun evening, and may swing by to try other dishes, but wouldn’t rush to return."
