    Everything was wonderful except there was a family of about 15 sitting next to us with 3 crying babies for most of our dinner. We had someone with hearing aids and almost couldn't stand the noise.

    We go to Cafe Cortina whenever we have a special celebration. The prices are high, but you get what you pay for. Not only is the food absolutely incredible, the service is wonderful, and the portions are generous enough to take leftovers home. Highly recommend.
