Good food and good service. As the evening progressed, the noise level was really intense so not a great date night place when you want to talk. The food was tastefully prepared and served and overall was a pleasant experience. I would return but perhaps not for a date night when you are getting to know the other person.

It's always a delight to meet friends for dinner at Coconut Lagoon. The food is so flavourful, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the service is perfect. And there are options for everyone - vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore happily co-existing. I've never had a bad experience here. I look forward to the next time!

Waiter was exceptional. We appreciated the complimentary desert in celebration to our 37th anniversary. Liked the Christmas decoration. However our table was along a wall blocking the view of the lake.
