    Our server, Bridget, was lovely. The space is great - HUGE, but still personal. I only wish our entrees had come to the table with some more flavor, because if that had been the case, this review would be a rave. My husband got the sea bass and I tried the cobia - both were cooked REALLY well. It was just… somewhat boring. My husband put it best - “I wanted to enjoy the artichoke accompaniment with every bite, and there just wasn’t enough.” The good news: We loved the bread, our Wellfleet oysters, and the strawberry shortcake dessert, which was THE BEST part of the dinner. Lordy, that was a memorable dish. I just wish the main event had been more gratifying.

    Wonderful anniversary dinner. The food, especially the coal roasted oysters were fantastic as was the seared tuna! But what made the whole evening delightful was our waiter Cristo - he was exceptional. I look forward to more dining experiences here.

    Had a great time at Cordelia, the staff were excellent and very responsive. Shout-out to the Hostess for recognizing our anniversary in my reservation comments. Another shoutout to our waiter Christo- Great sense of humor and "table-side manner", he made us feel welcome and at home. The food was excellent, although we stayed with multiple small plates, it was all delicious! Oh, I forgot to mention that we were given a complimentary glass of champagne after being seated! that set out mood for the rest of the evening! We'll be back!

    First of all, EBON WAS THE BEST SERVER I HAVE EVER HAD. Give him a raise! Seriously he was attentive, friendly, warm, knowledgeable of the menu selections and i could just go on and on. Thank you Ebon💕 Now the cuisine was, in my honest opinion, superb. I mean from an elevated espresso martini ( Bye Felicia Cocktail) to the GIANT, well seasoned prawns and crisp waffles, I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS. The sea bass was delicate and buttery. We tried THE MENU. I suggest you do the same!

    The yellowfin tuna and calamari, while the flavoring was good, it was very salty.
