Nice vibe and atmosphere and a restaurant that is not too noisy where you can have a conversation . I was hosting a business dinner and the evening was great . Service was spot on and very pleasant . We shared the special appetizer which was excellent and the entrees were tasty and perfectly prepared . I like Coco Pazo as I visit the restaurant when I visit Chicago.
