    Glad we went for the first noontime Sunday brunch. Service from Venita (and others) was excellent and the place wasn’t so crowded that we couldn’t hear one another. It’s a huge space with high ceilings where voices can be obscured. I ate roasted oysters - would have been happy with two orders of them. They were that good. My friends had breakfast foods plus calamari and beets. All tasty. I also ordered a lobster roll. The lobster meat was sweet - only wish it had come with something other than salty potato chips - maybe coleslaw or a small salad or better still a deviled egg. Parking was not easy - rode around and around looking. A space became available just as we had decided to park in a garage. The bar is huge with a great many bottles on display. Cordelia gives the impression that it’s really a bar which can also serve you food with your beverages. The mocktail with apple cider and lemon was delicious.

    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.
