Its menu is seafood focused but there really is something for everyone. I've visited for brunch and HHs and enjoyed each visit. Personal favorites: The coal roasted oysters, miso butter in particular, are fantastic. I literally dream about them LOL. The grilled calamari is smoky yet vinegary and vibrant. The beet and burrata salad has a great texture as a compliment to the grilled dishes. For brunch, I have enjoyed the Chesapeake Benedict and the mushroom frittata. Overall, the seafood is so fresh and high quality. Portions are great for sharing yet not super sized and it is so delicious that you won't bring anything home. If you are budget conscious and enjoy oysters, the half price raw oysters plus a few appetizers will be a great way to enjoy Cordelia Fishbar. Cocktails: a creative menu and beautiful glassware. The mocktail menu is not as large as I hoped but the flavor offerings are not too sugary. Highly recommend adding this to your brunch and HH spots and enjoy!

I tried the calamari, first time having too, and I was shocked with how well it was. I had a large meal the day before so I munched on a salad for dinner which hit the spot. I ended up finishing my grandmothers burger which was also delicious. I forgot what the dessert was called but everyone shared it and enjoyed it.

First and foremost, our server was a sweet girl from the West Coast! I didn't get her name but she…read morewas truly the sweetest! So we ordered fried shrimp ($16) and the catfish sandwich. The fried catfish ($16) literally tasted like water. I had to make sure I didn't have covid and lost my taste, so I had my gf try it. It definitely was flavorless! If you've ever been to London and had fish and chips, it reminded me of that texture and taste. It was as underwhelming as that. Zero salt. As a southern girl, fried catfish is supposed to have seasoning. So we ended up upgrading the meal for the crab cake sandwich ($26). When I say delicious! No filling, lump crab seasoned to perfection. It was so juicy and the remoulade ... they did an impeccable job with crafting that housemade. Will absolutely return for this gem. We sat at the high top tables, but you can sit anywhere near the restaurant as it's located in the market.

But we walked inside, had an easy access to the event, and as the entered.. the vibes welcomed us! Great dj, great drinks, and great friends!

Overall, the staff is nice, food is good, and prices are better than competitors. I would order from here again.

Anywho, ordered on door dash for pick up and it was ready by the time the app said it would be. I got a half lb of shrimp (head on) with the world special sauce and half a dozen lemon pepper wings. All my food was piping hot and high quality. Shrimp was sweet and firm, so you know it was fresh and cooked perfectly. The world special sauce isn't a flavor explosion like the whole shabang at Boiling Crab, but it was still enjoyable. It came with a corn on the cob and potato, but no sausages Wings were crunchy and good sized. The lemon pepper seasoning was light, so let em know if you prefer heavy seasoning. The inside is small with only 4 stools, but it's a great upgrade from the interior of Rhode Island Ave Express. Dessert options don't look that great. Service was also friendly. It definitely wins on proximity for me and I would order from here again.

They made sure to keep our table clean and gave us new silverware and plates before or entrees arrived. Any food that we did not finish was boxed up and put into bags for us. The manager was actively walking around the restaurant, making sure that every guest were enjoying their dinner. The food was good all around but there are some dishes that outshine the rest. The ribeye and New York strip were very good. The butchers steak I got for my son and he didn't really like it, it was lacking flavor. If you do anything when you go, please make sure to get the biscuits. Hands down THE BEST BISCUITS I've ever had lol. They are the most flaky and buttery biscuits, you can count each layer that these have. Pro tip is to ask for butter and the house made jam. The pimento cheese is good with them but it becomes a little too decadent. Overall I'm happy we made the decision to come here, we will be back soon.

Came here for dinner tonight and shared a beet salad (antipasti), El padrino (pizza), and pistachio…read moregnocchi (pasta), and tiramisu + one scoop of pistachio gelato (dessert). The beet salad was amazing although a little light on beets. The buffalo mozzarella on top was delicious and we spread it over the salad like a poached egg which had a nice contrast to the bitterness of the fresh arugula base. The pizza was our favorite dish. The crust was amazing and the fresh basil really put it over the top. The gnocchi pasta was great in itself), I would have liked something to cut the cheesy/pistachio sauce/flavor a bit. Maybe a touch of tomato sauce. The tiramisu was certainly made fresh in-house (as confirmed by the server) but we actually thought the pistachio gelato (also made in the house) was the better of the two desserts. Will definitely come back here to try more items on the menu.

The Mac and cheese surprisingly was good. It was made with real cheese and was definitely seasoned. The fish and chicken were also well seasoned. I would be willing to give the greens another try.
