Cornelia Street Cafe

About Cornelia Street Cafe

In 1987, on its tenth anniversary, New York City proclaimed Cornelia Street Cafe "A CULINARY AS WELL AS A CULTURAL LANDMARK." Founded by three artists, it provides food for the soul as well as the body. Upstairs there are three dining rooms, a beautiful hundred-year-old oak bar, a sidewalk cafe on one of New York's most picturesque streets, and a wood-burning fireplace for the winter. The cafe has received numerous awards for its food: Time Out's TOP 100 RESTAURANTS; the Village Voice's BEST OF NEW YORK FOOD; and a special award from the Village Arts Society for INSPIRED CUISINE. Most recently it received the Waterford Crystal Award of Distinction for BEST BY-THE-GLASS WINE PROGRAM--there are more than thirty wines available by the glass. Downstairs (honred with Zagat Nightlife's Award of Distinction) there are more than 700 performances a year. RESERVATIONS ARE FOR DINING UPSTAIRS. RESERVATIONS FOR THE DOWNSTAIRS CABARET CANNOT BE MADE ONLINE.

food		besides, they dont have many choices for breakfast/brunch. so if you're looking for a nice, easy and affordable breakfast/brunch, this place is def... Very friendly crowd with mixed age range. The food was good... Atmosphere and location are Cornelia Street Cafe's 2 strong points - cute little place located on a bustling little s. But, the food was disappointing ... One of my favorite go-to places in New York -- consistently reliable, very good food; attentive and friendly service; upbeat and warm atmosphere.... Great great restaurant. From the killer beer list to the awesome salmon appetizer to the meal, this is a great great restaurant... I had dinner at the Cornelia Street Cafe last week and was blown away by the food. The presentation was amazing, but the actual taste was even better... Decent food decent price...
ambiance		i just have 2 things to say about this place :... Atmosphere and location are Cornelia Street Cafe's 2 strong points - cute little place located on a bustling little street in the heart of the West Village... "This place needs an upgrade in the exhaust system. While the food is good and consistent...
service		1. Rude waitress... We had enough. Go there only if you are willing to accept rude and snob service... There is something calming about dining chatter. Its low pulse, broken by episodic and polyrhythmic pings of metal to ceramic... We had Thanksgiving Dinner at this restaurant and I was extremely disappointed. The restaurant was overfilled to the point of extreme discomfort...
value		Enough said. For the price, there are MUCH better restaurants in the neighborhood that still have charm and wonderfully attentive waitstaff... Lovely intimate club downstairs which played some great Jazz. Very friendly crowd with mixed age range... It's a curious combination of bar/restaurant/downstairs performance space, an invention that works. The menu is large enough to please - with hamburger... 1st time. really enjoyed it... I don't get excited when I'm going here, nor do I go out of my way to visit, but it's a good place to have as an alternative or default restaurant on a weekend night... My brunch was pretty decent but I will probably go again since the prices were right on target....
village		Won't be coming back again. The village has better restaurants than this one... We love Cornelia Street -- so warm and friendly, such tasty food, such pleasant se. We eat here whenever we're in the village (we're from Philadelphia)... Both great, not the largest portions but just really nicely laid out and flavorful. Bang for the buck for the village, Cornelia Street Cafe is a gem... The Greenwich village that existed before the tourist trap is alive and well here....
menu		The lunch menu wasn't very long, but everything they had on there looked good. And it was good! I've had better of course at much more expensive restau... The menu is large enough to please - with hamburgers, more ambitious main courses, at lunch lighter foods like salads and omelettes - all decently prepared and nicely served... While the menu selections are somewhat limited by NYC foodie standards, every time I've come with friends, each of us has enjoyed our selections, their flavorful and consistent quality, the friendly and welcoming staff, and the pleasure of being able to have conversations... A steal!!!! For $25 prix-fixe menu, you get the starter, entree, and a glass of wine. I ordered the pate, the mushroom risotto, and a glass of the hou... Love the prix fixe brunch menu - it's so reasonably priced by NY standards. The atmosphere is just as described - quaint, European style cafe with bri...
wine		. We ordered a bottle of wine for the table and after a friend called and said she wanted to join us, we held off on ordering dinner til she got there... You can have a decent lunch for about $10 and a full dinner with glass of wine (their Malpec is good) for under $25. Tables are small and it's a defin... My very own Personal Jesus! Now I am no wine dude by any stretch but i enjoyed a Pino Gris which was absolutely refreshing! Its pear taste reminded me of the salad but the vanilla-ish, peachy taste let me know that it was time to slow down... Love the wine flights they offer!...

@Brocher_ However she reacts, maybe taking her out for a nice meal afterward will calm her down a bit. Shall we do brunch for her?
