Pacific and Vandy

thanks. another place for me to check out.

I like Ortine quite a bit .... Cornelius was pretty horrible one time for dinner and for drinks once it was fine.

How long ago did you go? They have a different chef than they used to, and the food has been significantly better.

I'd like to try it but I'm on a gluten-free, low salt diet at the moment. Do they have anything for us?

i walked by cornelius and they had $4 beers and $1 oysters for happy hour. sounds good to me.

@citymouse: I know Ortine has a gluten free pizza. Not sure about Cornelius but oysters are definitely gluten free!

@mr.met: Yes!! Cornelius' happy hour is awesome. $1 Oysters are killer.

@carnivore: I too wasn't thrilled last time I ate dinner at Cornelius but the new menu on the website looks great. Definitely going to go again soon! Any specific recommendations?

The oyster happy hour is all night Monday, and (I think) before 7 and after 10:30 on other weeknights. I haven't tried the new spring menu yet, except for the bar menu, but it all looks good. A few months ago they had a super-tender braised flatiron steak which was delicious. And the bacon mac and cheese is a great standby (One of these days, I want to have a mac and cheese crawl, which would definitely include this place and Woodwork). I know that one of the other regulars here really likes the chicken there too.

I am a HUGE fan of Cornelius. I went there for an Anniversary and was so so happily satisfied. I got the chicken dish that was unbelievably delicious! Yes, the entre's are pricey but I thought the portion was great for the money. I had a mixed drink which was also delicious and strong....word of advice: not a diner, more of a lavish place to eat. The decor is romantic and the place is very new! I give it 5 stars, especially for a bday or other important celebration.

Tonight they have an oyster tasting. Until 10pm, your first 3 oysters are free.

And the blue points are still $1 a piece.

Oooh, Ortine will be my next neighborhoody meal stop then Thank you!

What taps they got?

Finally ate here. Loved it.

Cornelius is teh awesome!
