After watching a so, so movie at the Camelview I felt hungry so went to the nearby Coco's on Scottsdale Road. Coco's is still open but it is slowly being surrounded by high rises from Optima to the North and Fashion Square construction to the South. I was about to order the new hot, spicy & right off the grill "Shanghai Noodles with Sea Bass" but the happy go lucky waiter told me the fish is usually smelly and did not recommend it. Instead he diverted me to the "Bistro Salmon with Fresh Tomato Relish". He didn't have to convince me much since I was thinking salmon anyway. He also mentioned the salmon was Norwegian farm raised salmon which clinched my decision.
The Bistro salmon was an excellent choice with a green gourmet salad and white balsamic vinaigrette on the same plate with a healthy piece of salmon covered in tomatoes and capers sauteed in garlic butter and fresh basil. For salmon selections in AZ it was excellent and for my standards good even though I prefer my salmon free of sauces and dressings.
In reviewing the bill I noticed the waiter's name was Erik C. I told him I named one of my sons Erik with a k for his Norwegian heritage while the waiter was mostly German. Both have had to go thru life correcting the world that Erik is with a k and not a c.
