Coa - Oak Brook, Illinois

Went to this place last night with some friends and had an amazing time.
Upon walking up to the restaurant you’re met with pillars and lovely lights for outdoor seating during their warmer seasons. I’ll have to be back to experience it when the weather permits me to be able to eat outdoors. Because the experience was amazing!

The food was so delicious and the drinks also didn’t disappoint.
Our dishes were warm upon arrival and the steak was cooked to my liking. The food was accompanied with a side that accentuated the flavor of the meat. The serving size was large and enough to share.
I also tried the white sangria and it was delicious and also a little dangerous because the subtle sweet flavor masks the alcohol content.
This is the perfect place for going with friends or even a date.
The ambiance is lovely and dimly let and the bar is beautiful. Great place for photos indoors and out.
Give this place a chance, you won’t be disappointed!

Located inside the Drake Hotel, this is a great place for date night, gathering with friends, or just to have a business dinner.

Juan’s service and menu knowledge was exceptional. We tried the tapas and salads.

The caramelized onions taste like candy. I’ve never had anything like them. The roasted apples were surprisingly delicious.

Don’t forget to ask for the dessert menu when you finish eating.

The place has beautiful Mexican decor. The energy is relaxed.

We will be returning for sure.

Beautiful outdoor area overlooking lush greenery on 22nd street in Oak Brook at the Drake hotel. Very classy, perfectly designed restaurant space with a focus on Latin cuisine. The paella was authentic, and the small plates are a perfect way to taste your way around the menu. Don’t miss the Mezcal based drinks, they do not disappoint! Service is very good, very accommodating. Fire pits at the outdoor tables were a very nice touch and great for a chilly evening. Come for the food and drinks, stay for a drink at the Polo Lounge inside the hotel.

Beautiful restaurant and bar! Highly recommend the gambas, and calamares a la plancha, they are both huge and tasty. They gave us a complimentary vietiras , since our order was messed up, which was really good. Pisto manchego, very filling and great option for vegetarians. I saw lots of people rave about the lobster empanadas, unfortunately there wasn’t enough lobster in any of the 3, the outside part was delicious though. The seafood paella was so so good! The wait is about 35minutes for them to make. For two people we were stuffed and took home leftovers. The pitcher of sangria was amazing, definitely could be shared for 4. Great management and lots of staff to help.

I recently dined at Coa with a group of friends and had an amazing experience! The laid-back vibe, complemented by great music, set the tone for a relaxing evening. We tried a variety of dishes.
Appetizers: ceviche - tasted fresh and not too much lime just the right balance of flavors, paired with the chips and guac. The lobster empanadas were delicious, so much we had 2 orders.
Tapas: The patatas bravas and garlic shrimp were both hits, and the goat cheese stuffed dates were a unique and tasty surprise. I don’t eat calamari but friends liked it and said it was good.

For dessert, we indulged in the churros and the crepa stuffed with ice cream—both were the perfect sweet finish to an already stellar meal.

A special shoutout to our waiter, Himal, who was fantastic! He made excellent recommendations and ensured that our dining experience was top-notch.

Highly recommend checking out Coa if you’re looking for great food, a chill atmosphere, and attentive service!

Incredible tapas, cozy venue, great staff.
We've been waiting to try Coa, and headed there on a Saturday evening. I would recommend reservations, this place was definitely the place to be! Everything was delicious, drinks and dessert too! The details in presentation, from the plating to the different glassware. We can't wait to go back!

Excellent tapas restaurant. We enjoyed an excellent bottle of wine, along with several tapas. We had lobster empanadas, pisto manchego, jamón ibérico, y queso ibérico de Cabré. All were excellent, finished by churros de canela con chocolate.

Overall excellent, who knew the Drake was so cool.

Judy's birthday brought us out to this stellar establishment and our expectations were exceeded. The food/drink mashup of old Madrid and Mexico City works well. Margaritas pair great with Tapas.

The tapas offerings are classically done and what you expect to find in Madrid. Pulpo to die for (see for yourself) potatas aliolas, jamon-wrapped datillos stuffed with feta and the all important dish of sublime acemientos.

Saving the paella for next time which will be very soon indeed!

Mesmerizing atmosphere with the huge digital displays transitioning and vibing colorful Castillian and Mayan imagery.
