This was a disaster. (Visit was in early fall, a sunday) Over priced. a great location being squandered. Service was lazy, excuse filled and spoke off glory days about their past "service expertise". Manager just sat and watched and listened to it all happen. No return visit needed

Kokomos is the absolute best! They have amazing specials! I got the 2 for 1 appetizers with the 3$ drafts or wines! My friend got the 3 course meal with a soup, salad and ribeye. Its only 20$! The service was amazing, they have great bartenders and the cook is quick! Everything came out perfectly! We will definitely be back! I urge everyone to check them out, the sunset is absolutely beautiful if youre there to catch it!

Great service and excellent food! The lobster bisque is to die for! We both had the MahiMahi and it was incredible. We plan on going back for dinner again while we are here visiting.
