Wertheims Gasthaus Zur Linde

• Our friends provided good company so we weren't too annoyed.
• All the food was greasy from the grilled fish to the potato skins.

“We ate outside. The place did not seem busy but the waitress rarely came to the table. I would say we were there for 30 minutes before placing our order and then it took 45 minutes to receive it. Our drinks sat empty for extended periods of time. Other tables had rolls and crackers delivered to them. Our waitress didn't offer. The sugar packets in the middle of the table were stained and the sugar was hard. Looked like they were there for awhile. All the food was greasy from the grilled fish to the potato skins. I had a fish sandwich which came with homemade potato chips. I don't know if the fryer just wasn't hot enough or if the grease in the fryer was old. My wifes grilled fish was covered in grease. Overall bad experience. My friend from out of town, who asked us to go in the first place, emailed me the next day to apologize for the terrible food.”

Chez Nora

• Could have been a very romantic atmosphere if done right.
• Very expensive for what you get. Plastic glasses/bad wine/old cheap silverware.

“I searched and searched for a quaint romantic restaurant. Money was really not an object. After finding Chez Nora decided to make a reservation based on the menu as well as the reviews. What a mistake! The service was McDonald friendly, the atmosphere was okay but you would expect quite a bit more considering the prices that are charged. All in all I didn't want to judge until the meal arrived holding out hope that the prices would be vindicated. I was very disappointed! The appetizer was the worst. The salad was bagged and old. The entree was so bad that it actually made me gag. I had the filet migon oscar style. How can anyone mess that up? My boyfriend had the pork chop which was overcooked and nothing better than I could have made at home. The prices were ridiculous in relation to the atmosphere of plastic glasses and big lot silverware that didn't match and the food left much to be desired. We actually left and went to J-Alexanders for dessert. I do not recommend this place unless you just want drinks on the rooftop.”

• Food good.
• Drinks and food too pricey for that place. This is just a pub.

“Food a little pricey, but very good. They advertise happy hours, but they only give you $1.00 off on drinks but not on any wine at happy hour, the cheapest wine is $6.00 a glass. Too Much for happy hour and they don't tell you.”

• The food was really memorable. Lots of fresh herbs and extra touches for good flavor.
• Not accessible for the handicapped.

“Actually we wound up in Cocoa by mistake. We were supposed to meet a friend at another restaurant that had a "green awning" and a neat looking front door. Cocoa has both. It's in an old building in Covington, and not handicapped accessible which should have been a problem for my husband who's in a wheelchair. However, the staff saw that we needed help and they were terrific about assisting him. We were there for lunch so there was no music, no loud crowd. The place looked kind of bleak during the day, but the food was fabulous. What a neat surprise. And the owner really cares about customer service. Later we were told this is a great place to go at night if you want to hear a variety of music, particularly jazz. Despite the fact that the ambiance is somewhat unlovely during the day, and that we had to negotiate crooked stone steps and more stairs once we were inside (with a wheelchair), we will go back. Great place. ”

• The food.
• Size of restaurant made conversation difficult when the music started.

“Coco's has been around for many years, but in the last year the menu has had a complete makeover! Our party of 3 tried different dishes and all were superb. And the prices are reasonable as well. We were there on a Saturday night (I recommend reservations) and there was live music beginning at 8:30 pm. Nice blues and jazz band really added to the atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone interested in a fine dining experience. After meeting the chef we were also told a new spring menu is being rolled out in 2 weeks and we should come back. ”
