Went there this past weekend after hiking with some friends in Lamma Island. We were pretty tired and very hungry by the time we got to the restaurant (around 1pm), so we were looking forward to a yummy lunch.First, we waited at the entrance for like 10 minutes 'til someone finally had time to talk to us. The waitress didn't seem enthusiastic that we were there and was gonna seat us on the dingy-looking round leather seats by the entrance. We refused to sit there and asked another waitress for
First, we waited at the entrance for like 10 minutes 'til someone finally had time to talk to us. The waitress didn't seem enthusiastic that we were there and was gonna seat us on the dingy-looking round leather seats by the entrance. We refused to sit there and asked another waitress for another table. In the end she moved the furniture around and managed to put 2 tables together for us. The table cloth for sure needed some ironing though!
We ordered 2 appetizers and 4 main courses for 4 people. The Cantonese-speaking lady told us all food would take 25-30minutes, which we thought was ok. However, the whole meal turned into a never-ending wait!!
First, we had to wait 15 minutes for the drinks, even though the grapefruit juice only came from canned juices! No water was served, so I had to drink my own bottled water since I was very thirsty after the morning hike!
Then we waited for like another 30 minutes before a small basket of bread was served to us, and they didn't even give us butter! We didn't bother to ask since we were just too hungry, and who knows how long it would take them to bring us butter!?
During this whole wait, e noticed no food was served to other tables either! We asked the waitress, and apparently they only have 1 chef preparing all the food!!
Finally, some real food came after an hour's wait. The calamaris and prawns were good, but I guess anything would taste good given we were so hungry. And another 45 minutes later, our main course FINALLY arrived. We complained to the waitress several times about the wait, but there was not much she could do. The other people at the restaurant (mostly Westerners) didn't seem to be complaining though, maybe they were planning to spend the whole afternoon there.
To be fair, I think the food at Cococabana was not bad, but the service was unacceptable, and the wait was just intolerable, especially when the bill came out to $250 per head! So if you have time to burn, you can give it a try ... maybe you can nap for a bit before your meal, or just sit and chat and enjoy the view of Aberdeen for a few hours.
Also, if you are planning to go back to the Sok Koo Wan pier for ferries back to Central, be prepared for a long flight of stairs back up to the trail ...
