| - Possibly my favorite new restaurant (of the moment)! From its cool, yet cozy decor, to the unusual, eclectic Asian Fusion menu, CO had nearly everything it takes to get my vote! I tried 2 different types of Dumplings (Beef & Kimchee, Edamame Gyoza), and they were both DEE-Lish! There were so many items I wanted to try on their diverse menu, but I randomly chose Hanoi Noodles...and I was NOT disappointed. Very rich and tasty...with a generous portion of noodles, sausage and shrimp! The only downside? Upon entry, I waited by the door several minutes before this aloof, rather unfriendly Hostess stopped by to assist me...with no greetings, no apologies for waiting, nothing. She just lifted her head up, as if to say, "What do you want"?? She also did not even bother to say "Bye" when I left the door. However, during my meal, an Asian Hostess (Owner maybe?) stopped by to ask how everything was...which sort of made up for the near-rude reception by the younger, brown-haired Hostess. Also, I only saw 2 waitresses there the whole time...and the restaurant was fairly packed. Although I did have to wait several minutes for my waitress to appear at my table, she did just fine (friendly, cordial...and even apologized for the wait)...but I did notice that some other guest walked up to the Asian Hostess/Owner to say that "his" waitress hasn't come by in over 15 minutes, and that he wanted water! If only this restaurant hired an extra waitress and better train their Hostess to be more "inviting" (as well as "present" near the door/podium), I would have gladly given this place 5 stars. No matter, I WILL return...possibly as soon as this weekend!
