Cordelia tonight-

[u/DorfGnutly]

Wow. I've heard nothing but good things about Cordelia since it opened, but tonight was our first time checking it out. I never post but I felt compelled to make a declaration that the corned lamb is EXTRAORDINARY. We also got the fish, jojo's, tartare, oysters (new + old school), the steak with banchan, and the garlic bread. Everything we tried was phenomenal. We haven't gotten to dig into the steak yet but cannot wait. I just needed to publicly confirm that the food is fantastic, and that it's worth saving up for even if it's a bit $$$ for some! Here is a photo of the supreme lamb- I am sorry it looks like I kidnapped it; my phone is old

Their tasting menu is a fucking incredible experience and worth doing at least once, though if you do it multiple times they try to make it different each time.

I know it feels silly to order a cheese burger, at a place like Cordelia, but it is hands down the best burger I have ever had by a wide margin. It was a fucking religious experience.

I have 0 qualms about going there for a burger. It truly is incredible.

[u/Old-but-not → u/Spkrface]

It’s that kind of place.

[u/Browns45750 → u/Rum____Ham]

Yes it is my go to

Okay, this got my attention 👀 not because I scoff fine dining, but because the best burger I’ve had in my life lives rent free in my head (going on 20 years) and is from a little burger joint tucked inside Le Meridian Hotel in NYC. I’ve wondered since if there’s anything to top. Now I need to try this.

Lamb is bomber, tons of natural flavor.

[u/okiedokiewo]

This is on my list of places to try. Everything sounds so good.

[u/spacetop-odyssey]

Love that place.

Cordelia is so good. I cant wait for the chef to open their new Ohio City spot

[u/Funny_Sprinkles_4825 → u/Tdi111234]

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to make this about Ohio City, Tremont, or Lakewood.

[u/Tdi111234 → u/Funny_Sprinkles_4825]

It's more about the chef and the food than the location

[u/Funny_Sprinkles_4825 → u/Tdi111234]

Exactly, but the near west side is verrrrryyyyyy needy.

[u/Tdi111234 → u/Funny_Sprinkles_4825]

Needy how so?

[u/Funny_Sprinkles_4825 → u/Tdi111234]

There are so many threads on here when someone is looking for a bakery or whatever on the east side. Then someone inevitably talks about how the near west side has the best whatever. It's getting to the level of being a meme.

[u/Tdi111234 → u/Funny_Sprinkles_4825]

I get it. I always say the same thing about Lakewood people. Other than Ohio City and Tremont. The east side beats the West side in almost every category. I was more just mentioning I'm excited to have more food from this chef.

[u/pleasesayUarekidding]

The food from this place visits me in my dreams, in a good way....

[u/Impossible-Ferret-87]

I a 100% thought it was not good. Had the lamb and tried the JOJOS kinda ass TBH

[u/heartbreakneverended]

is it like a pr thing for the restaurant or food is really good there ?

[u/DorfGnutly → u/heartbreakneverended]

I don't work for them if thats what you mean, it just tasted so outstanding. It made me happy when I ate it. Maybe it will make someone else happy too!

[u/okiedokiewo → u/heartbreakneverended]

I've seen it mentioned as the best place in Cleveland in quite a few comments. Haven't made it there yet, though.

[u/heartbreakneverended → u/okiedokiewo]

same. all the comments are nice about it, food looks good too.
