    Cafe Cortina has become one of our favorite places to go for a slightly fancy meal and special occasions. We are vegan and they offer a very good selection of vegan entree's and appetizers. The food was "to die for" with all 6 dishes we ordered. Their wine recommendation was excellent as well (great job Andrew). But what really stands out to us is the service by everyone on the serving team. Truly exceptional in every aspect. We are going to make Cafe Cortina our top local vegan restaurant and return monthly. Bravo!

    Love the food!! Was expecting a little bit more attention for my husband’s birthday. Except for the host, who wished him “happy birthday “, no one else did.
