Having one of my favs!! Smoked salmon BLT at Cora’s!!

Great food! Was so happy with the place, We ate there twice during our short stay. Great home-style cooking with a very extensive menu. Multiple Vegetarian options and numerous seafood and meat entrees, sandwiches, appetizers, soups, salads, etc etc (really). It's a very cozy, yet no frills atmosphere... Like you are eating in someone's home dining room. Service was friendly and attentive and the dessert list is also extensive. Good beer, wine, and cocktail selection with at least one local beer on tap. You'll be really happy and leave with a full belly as the portion size was generous on the entrees.

We had very lovely early dinner! Food and services were great! Atmosphere was very calm and relaxed! Loved the windows along the dining room next to the bar. Fresh ingredients. Easy access and parking lot. We ordered bistro duck my son loved it and chicken nuggets my toddler absolutely loved and is a picky eater. My husband order beer battered shrimps and he love it. Plus the cheese steak was very good! The French fries are one the best I have ever had .

Wings. Hot wings. Made the way they should be. Pairs perfectly with an ice cold beer. Everything else is good, too!

SUCH GOOD FOOD and generous portions. Here in the area visiting and our group of 9 are in all agreement of this being our best meal. Definitely would visit again in a heartbeat. .

The food is so fricken delicious! The French onion soup ! We looked the menu up online before going and saw they had duck, and we were sold! Unfortunately they were out of the duck, but we weren't sad for long! I ordered the Delmonico steak and my Husband ordered the Prime Rib. Delicious, well cooked, well seasoned, and enormous portions! We both started with a soup, I had french onion & my husband had clam chowder, so MF'ing good! My husband's prime rib was at least 20 oz, and my steak was 16 , both plates were 25. We were stuffed, we decided to share a meal and dessert the next time we go! The waitress/bartender was so down to earth! Loved her! It's a slow service so do not go there in a rush, it's the place you go to sit and enjoy a person's company and savor the atmosphere. There are charming windows with awnings for every table along the wall to look out. Our window had a pretty rose bush under it and a window box with some flowers. The outside of the building is indigo and looks pretty cool. The inside color is.. yellow, with some more yellow, but it grows on you when you realize what a gem you've found!

Excellent cafe. Rustic but clean. Wide variety of food. Delicious! Full bar.
