Happy Hour Monday thru Friday from 4-6 pm and late-night.
Weekend Brunch begins Sunday, January 12, from 10am-4pm.

    The food was very much just okay. The sea bass had no flavor (not even a pinch of salt or pepper) and the sauce was bland. The calamari on the other hand was excellent. The cocktails were… interesting. 4 stars because it’s a nice place and I love seafood.

    My experience at Cordelia Fishbar was amazing! The wait staff were professional and helpful and the food was top notch. We were a large group and tried many items on the menu. It was all delicious! I can't wait to come back. Definitely my new favorite restaurant in DC.

    Danny was amazing as our server! He handled our large party of 10 with such grace and humor. My family had nothing but positive things to say about Danny & Cordelia’s!!!! Can’t wait to come back.

    Cordelia was a fantastic experience! We did a pretty wide sampling of the menu, and everything was made from extremely high quality ingredients and was delicious. Note that we each had a large plate fish entree and while each can come with a sauce of your choosing, the fish we had really didn’t even need a sauce. Our server, Helena, was welcoming, knowledgeable and fun. In short, Cordelia is a must.

    Great experience at Cordelia. The food was very good. The whole black bass with chermoula was a standout. The small and large plates came out at the same time, meant to be shared by the table. Grilled calamari slightly overcooked but delicious. Nice wine selection, good value. And lots of gluten free options too. The restaurant was busy on a Friday night but still not too loud to have a conversation comfortably. A great addition to the neighborhood

    We went NYE because we wanted to try a new restaurant. The menu offers small and large plates that can be shared. We had oysters, caviar, clams, monk fish, scallops, and brussel sprouts. Everything we had was delicious and did not disappoint. Also, the service was excellent. We will go back.
