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.

We made a last-minute reservation at Cordelia, and we have zero regrets. Everything we ate was delicious. We started with the Mermaid Tower and tried all four oyster options available; they were incredible. We also sampled the bluefin tuna crudo, and I can't stop thinking about it. The crunch of the pistachios combined with the saltiness of the capers was perfect. I ordered the special monkfish osso buco with black garlic sauce. While the fish was great, I do not recommend pairing it with that sauce. My husband tried the pork pluma, but he ate it so quickly that I assume it was fantastic because he didn't share any! We finished our meal with apple pie and a brûléed sweet potato tart, both of which were also excellent. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Every single dish here is immaculate. The calamari, hamachi, giant prawns and steak are def must haves. My only complaint is the service. This is my 4th visit and the time it takes to get drinks and food is noticeably long. And it’s been on several occasions. Overall though, my favorite spot to eat.

Everything from the service to our food was amazing! We had shrimp cocktail, crab dijonnaise, calamari, bread, and a few other dishes, and shared everything with a group of 4. The quality and portion sizes were perfect. The restaurant is beautiful inside and the service was all around very nice. A great addition to union market district!!
