    Never falls short, we come in a couple of times a year for special occasions. This past time the background music was a little loud but it seemed to fade as the restaurant got busier.

    Service, from greetings to table service was outstanding. The scallops for an appetizer and the braised short ribs…unbelievably tasty!

    Every person who took care of us from the Maitre De to our waiter Manuel , our bar staff Grace and the cheese and bread waiter were fantastic and friendly, even to a table of senior citizens. This was my first experience at Cafe Cortina and it won’t be my last. I selected the restaurant to try something different and not have to drive very far. But now I know that I will return for hopefully many more special occasions ( this was my wife’s birthday).

    We dined on Christmas Eve and it was a very special experience. The four course prix fixe menu had excellent choices to satisfy everyone in our group. The wine selection is extensive and the sommelier was very helpful. The wait staff is very attentive, professional and friendly. We loved the food and the relaxing way to spend the holiday.

    Everything was wonderful except there was a family of about 15 sitting next to us with 3 crying babies for most of our dinner. We had someone with hearing aids and almost couldn't stand the noise.
