   I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, our waiter was great. I wish that they sold the prawns à la carte. Because I only wanted the prawns I ended up paying the $32 without the waffle. Still very delicious but I wish that was the one thing they had à la carte to choose from. The oysters are delicious. And I recommend the bottomless brunch mimosas

   Not what we expected. One person in our group had been there before but the menu changed from then, apparently it changed two weeks before we came. The menu is now significantly more expensive and more restrictive. So, it wasn't what we expected. We managed to find some things to eat because we weighed going somewhere else but with a group of 6 it would be a challenge. What we ordered was good, service was very good, though a bit on the out-of-ordinary side. Pleasant enough but we wouldn't plan to return.

   We like to eat early. Got to the restaurant around 5:45. Had a couple of yummy margarita type cocktails. Split the beet salad, calamari and potatoes. All the food was delicious, I especially loved the calamari. Service was great, Ebon was a friend I didn’t know I had!!!

   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.

   We had a very nice dinner. Love the ambience and the seafood was top shelf. When back in DC we will definitely visit again.

   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!

He greeted us w/ a smile and continuously checked on us, our meals and drinks throughout the day. And the Food was Exceptional! Special Thanks to Ebon and Team Cordelia for a wonderful dining experience. The Colvin Family
