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.

    Wife and I were excited when we heard the Clyde’s group was opening a seafood restaurant. Then when we heard it was more of a high end we felt less excited. Boy, we were wrong! The food was amazing like everything was great! The charcoal dessert was amazing! The bread and the butter was so tasty. The fish was the star! The Hamachi / Scallops / Calamari were amazing! We just did a bunch of small plates but will be back for bigger entrees next time!!!

    Amazing food and ambience. Truly every dish was delicious. Just a little slow on the service but it’s understandable for a new spot. Fantastic birthday dinner and I can’t wait to go back

    Always excited to try a new spot in the neighborhood! The restaurant has great vibes and the service was wonderful - our server was especially great at guiding us through the menu and offering recommendations. The overall experience, though, was just fine. While we had a reservation, we were, unfortunately, seated right in front of the door and had to dine with coats on because it was so cold. We asked to be moved, but were told no because other tables were saved for later reservations. Several tables in the back remained open for the entirety of our dinner, which left us disappointed and annoyed. The food was good, but underwhelming for the price. Standouts were the oysters, tuna crudo, the Brussels sprouts, and the sweet potato tart dessert. Will probably come back for happy hour, but I don’t anticipate dining for dinner again.
