    My wife and I come here every year on Valentine’s Day. Best experience by far. Service is great. Owner is extremely nice and friendly. Food is incredible. The herb marinated lamb chops were perfect. The only issue I have is with parking but that can’t be helped. 10/10 experience every time.

    We thoroughly enjoyed a romantic and delicious Valentine's Day 6-course chef's dinner at Cori last night. The service was exceptional -- all staff were friendly and professional. The presentation of each dish was beautiful and the black truffle lobster risotto was especially memorable. Excellent Italian wine selection from every region of Italy.
