Just opened in Union Market!
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.

    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.

    The dinning experience was excellent primarily due to Sonya the manager! The food was outstanding including the small plates of Coal roasted oysters, Rhode Island Calamari (wow) and Roasted Beets. Entrees included the nicely cooked Tuna and I had the Black Sea Bass, which was delicious! The restaurant is loud and energetic. Sonya made a point of stopping by our table and made sure everything was to our liking. Great time, good value and I also loved the Trimbach Riesling!

    Nice menu, on the pricey side but tastefully prepared. Very good service, attractive surroundings but just too darn loud. We had to raise our voices to hear each other.

    Second visit to this restaurant and they did not disappoint. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. We got the same server as our first visit and she was just as amazing! Her name is Helena, she is very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions. The whole staff was helping each other, making the experience seamless. Overall this place is a 10/10, would recommend!
