| - I was already a bit reluctant to go because I did not like the fact that I had to confirm my reservation twice: The restaurant called in the morning to ask me if I can call them back to confirm my reservation, so I did. Then, 5 hours later, I get a text message again asking to confirm my reservation so I replied to the text as well. When we arrived at the restaurant, I went in with no expectations but I was a bit shocked at the noise level. I understand that it is not the restaurant's fault, but had I known that it was going to be so loud, I would've not chosen this restaurant for date night. It's the kind of place that would be great with a group of friends who are all drinking and being rowdy. I couldn't hear myself think, let alone talk!!
Compliments to the chefs: the food was really excellent, don't get me wrong, but if we just wanted to have a great meal, we would've just stayed at home and cooked for ourselves. I think that dining out is about the whole experience, including the service, the music, the atmosphere, etc. It's definitely not just about the food.
The last thing that Copa did that really ticked me off was that I had TWICE made a request for a birthday treat, and the hostess on the phone confirmed that they would be able to bring out a complimentary desert for my date, but when we got to the end of our meal, nothing came. I had also reminded the restaurant of my special request when I replied to the text confirming my reservation, so that was the final straw.
Do NOT go here for date night!!
