But here’s the twist – I also decided to try their steak because, sometimes, you just have to mix things up. And let me tell you, that steak was a revelation. It was tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. It was like an explosion of flavor in my mouth, and I was loving every bite. However, there was a slight hiccup – the service was a bit slow. This dampened the experience a little as I was eager to explore dessert options. Patience is a virtue, right?
When the cake finally arrived, though, it was definitely worth the wait. The layers upon layers of coffee-soaked goodness melted in my mouth, serving as a sweet apology for the slow service. So, here’s my recommendation: if you’re in Met...
We began our meal with mussels, the special bruschetta of the day, and a house salad. For our main courses, we enjoyed pan-seared scallops, a seafood medley with homemade pasta, and the chef’s signature gnocchi dish. We paired our meal with a Ramey Chardonnay, which complemented the food beautifully. The flavors were outstanding, especially the mussels, which were among the best I’ve ever tasted.
The ambiance of the restaurant was just right, making it an excellent choice for celebrating my wife’s birthday with my son. Overall, we had a delightful evening, and Cafe Cortina certainly exceeded our expectations.
Kudos to Chef Ernesto! Dinner was fantastic and truly felt like a homemade Italian meal. The Agnolotti and Dover Sole were exceptional. A special mention to my servers, Manuel and Andrew, who provided excellent service. The Old Fashioned cocktail was delightful and well-balanced, and I received a perfect wine pairing recommendation for the Dover Sole course. While the dining room and service techniques can come across as a bit formal and overwhelming, having attentive servers like Manuel and Andrew really made the experience incredible.
Our dinner party of 17 at Cafe Cortina last night was absolutely perfect. Every detail was exceptional! From the place settings and service to the food and the charming outdoor patio ambiance, everything was simply excellent. I can’t express enough how special the anniversary celebration turned out. Thank you so much for all your assistance in coordinating everything, even with a hiccup in the reservation process. Once again, many thanks!

This restaurant is fantastic! The staff is incredible, the wine selection is impressive, and the food is outstanding. The ambiance is lovely and inviting. Overall, it's a true gem. I discovered it when it was named one of Detroit's top 10 romantic restaurants. While it's a bit pricey (around $80 per person), the experience is consistently excellent.
My friend held her wedding here, and it turned out to be a lovely and intimate occasion with a wonderful atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the large outdoor fireplace. The food was exceptional—I had the scallops with spinach risotto, which were fantastic. The restaurant itself was also very nicely decorated.
