This recently opened restaurant in Simi Valley is called Coco D'Amour. I went by there this afternoon and it was closed for the night but I did speak with one of the owners who briefly showed me around. The Chef is a French executive chef who has extensively toured the islands and has themed his restaurant and food to tropical cuisine. It is billed as "A French/Island Infusion in a Tropical Atmosphere." I saw lots of African masks and palapa style thatches over each table. A few south pacific tiki masks could be seen as well and the owner said she had several tiki bowls for the bar, which begins serving cocktails as of the first of the year. This place does look like it may have some potential.

If anyone is local and manges to get there for dinner give us a report. I will try and get there myself hopefully soon.

Coco D'Amour is located at 2321 Tapo St. in Simi Valley, CA. Exit the 118 at Tapo Canyon and go south. Left on Cochrane, Right on Tapo Street (next light) and the restaurant is located toward the back of a mini mall on the right.
