I took nine of my friends to Cafe Cortina last night for our anniversary and frankly was quite disappointed. The attentiveness and ambiance was good. The service was quite poor, servers were confused who had what food hence wrong food was placed in front of several (most) people. We had to actually shift food out of several plates to get the right food and sides in front of the right person!!! The starchy foods, such as pasta and side potatoes, were extremely salty and not uniform in taste, e.g. the lobster pasta had globs of salt here and there. They brought the Prawns grilled when the menu indicated they were saut?ed. Servers were attentive but not trained properly. I recommend the place only to very small groups, like two. Double check the menu and food preparedness with the servers and don't assume you will get what you think you ordered. If you don't like too much salt, let them know that specifically. Go there when its nice out and ask for outside seat ing. Inside is nice but somewhat ruined by their small Gas fireplace. You would really want a real fire place in such places, Don't you think?
Pros: Attentive, Romantic (specially outside)
Cons: Nice Atmosphere, Mediocre food, Poor Service, Pricey
