I have never been so disappointed in a business. Yesterday was my birthday and I always come to Cora's so I trusted them to take care of us on my special day. Everything went wrong. Our server was abrupt from the start. I am usually served by Paula who had JUST left as we walked in! I was already willing to go somewhere else at that point because she's the only server I would trust not to f*** up my birthday brunch!
One of my party members has a serious gluten allergy, and initially we were pleased to learn about their gluten sensitive menu (***APPARENTLY GLUTEN SENSITIVE GLUTEN FREE!***) How does that make any sense?! If they had a peanut-free menu but the server keeps telling you that your meal may have come in contact with, or contains peanuts, would you feel safe eating their food? Me neither!
I ordered the lovely chicken salad and specifically asked for no tomatoes and I had tomatoes in it. When I told the server she took my grapefruit juice off the bill total. Thanks but the problem wasn't with the grapefruit juice. In fact, the juice was the only thing they got right this time!
We all got our meals except for my gluten-allergic sister, who sat there watching us eat with an almost kid-sized smoothie that was $4. I felt ashamed that I even brought my guests here on my birthday and felt especially angry that my sister had to sit there watching us eat. Eventually she made the decision to go order lunch to go next door at Kavkaz like I wanted to! $9.95 for a whole freshly made meal! And it was absolutely delicious and the service way better, and just on the other side of Cora's walls.
Long story short, I would've considered returning if it wasn't for the fact that they ruined my birthday from the start.
