Just opened in Union Market!
Cordelia, a name whose origin in some Celtic cultures means “daughter or heart of the sea”, draws on regional culinary influences from Spain, Portugal, Asia, and the Americas – focusing on areas that use high heat charcoal to coax the best out of fish, alongside a diverse offering of conserva, crudo and cured seafood.

Happy Hour Monday thru Friday from 4-6 pm and late-night.

Every single dish here is immaculate. The calamari, hamachi, giant prawns and steak are def must haves. My only complaint is the service. This is my 4th visit and the time it takes to get drinks and food is noticeably long. And it’s been on several occasions. Overall though, my favorite spot to eat.

Everything from the service to our food was amazing! We had shrimp cocktail, crab dijonnaise, calamari, bread, and a few other dishes, and shared everything with a group of 4. The quality and portion sizes were perfect. The restaurant is beautiful inside and the service was all around very nice. A great addition to union market district!!

I loved this new seafood restaurant by Union Market ( I am picky). I had giant prawns, super tasty; others in my party loved their food, all grilled over a wood charcoal stove ( think Dabney). The service could not have been better with a relaxed but knowledgeable and friendly server. They nicely accommodated a dietary restriction for one of our party. The special sweet potato desert killed it !!!
