| - I would like to be able to give four stars for this, but there are several factors that bring the score down. Not surprisingly, other reviewers have had this problem as well.
Chez Cora is super popular with the breakfast and lunch crowd. This has the effect of producing line-ups. But it does not seem that volume is so much the problem as is speed. The servers and bussers appear to be very slow - VERY slow - at clearing, cleaning, and re-setting tables after patrons finish and leave. It seems that this problem is the kernel at the core of the long lines. With this in mind, I do not recommend Chez Cora for parties larger than about five or six people. It just takes too long to put enough tables together for such groups, unless you get there really early, I suppose.
That said, the food is fantastic! Once you are seated and the specials are explained, things are often much faster. While French-style breakfasts are not generally supremely healthy, they don't have to be un-healthy. You just have to be careful what you order. I got the western omelette, which was both different and delicious, and was served with a side of fresh fruit. The fruit servings change seasonally, so is rarely made up of the same things on different visits. I personally do not like melons, but this time around there was only one piece, so it was not a problem.
As at least one other reviewer has mentioned, the bright, open layout and design of the dining room is reminiscent of early grade school, but that just makes it more fun.
