CO-OP Food & Drink Reviews List

CO-OP Food & Drink

East meets South at CO-OP Food & Drink, a modern Japanese-American brasserie and sushi bar serving globally inspired cuisine with a southern twist that is locally sourced and meant to be shared.

Executive Chef James London (Niko, The Crow's Nest) makes dining a “creative exercise” by combining inventive Japanese-American cuisine with an authentic New York experience that indulges your soul, as much as your appetite. CO-OP pairs high quality interpretations of modern Japanese and American cuisine with an extensive selection of sushi, sashimi, and other raw items overseen by sushi chef Rio Yonathan (Megu, Sushi Nouvean, Morimoto). Drinks at CO-OP are just as much a culinary adventure as the food. Master Mixologist Max Petrich, visits local markets to source the best vegetables, fruits, and herbs to utilize in our seasonal cocktails and infusions. CO-OP also serves a full list of wines, microbrews and sakes.

"Too many people coming to the table asking the same questions. Not enough communication of staff to the point where we didn't even know who our server was. Were never able to finish one course before another course was brought out. Very rushed but not because it felt like they were trying to get us out of there, just zero communication. Ginger fried chicken and the co-op sushi roll were both amazing!!!"

"Had a wonderful time!! The only draw-back was that the outside door opens directly into the dining area, making it a little cold in the winter. Would highly recommend the sliders. MMMMMMM the truffle parmesan fries they come with will keep me coming back again and again. Cocktails were also well proportioned and inventive. Impressive spot to take a date!"

"The food was amazing. the grilled squid a la plancha was excellent and the fluke was bit salty but over looking that with a glass of water it was pretty good. One of the best pecan pies I've had. pecan pies are usually hard and dry - this one was just perfect soft and tasty the way i prefer it. Service was great."
