This the the BEST BRUNCH in Modesto! I love the Happy Cakes, we got them today as an appetizer to share. They're so addictive. I was STUNNED by how good the Mario's eggs Benedict was. Sauteed mushrooms, topped with mushroom risotto, poached eggs, and hollandaise. I'm a sucker for risotto and theirs was AMAZING and went together perfectly with the hollandaise. My companion got the chicken fried steak. We've never had chicken fried steak that good in California, it was crispy and perfectly seasoned and not too salty. We also added the biscuit, and it was perfect: warm, crispy outside and tender inside. Another table got the griddle plate that looked like french toast with toasted coconut (I can't remember the name) but it was beautiful and smelled incredible and I have to order that next. We've also been here for lunch and dinner. There's so much we haven't ordered yet, but we recommend the Hangry Reuben sandwich, and all the salads. If you get a cocktail, please please try the Purple Pain! I cannot explain how good it is. I would love to order a pitcher of it to share with a group of friends, to make them all try it. read more

This is a wonderful spot. The set up inside simple and classic. Very roomy with comfortable chairs and a nice vibe. The bar set up is clean and they have fair prices. The service is top notch, service with a smile and knowledge of the food a plus. However, in my opinion, the food needs a bit of work. The sticky chicken had a nice surface taste but the meat had very little flavor. The Lumpia was a non traditional sized one but tasty. The Honey Love sandwich was very sloppy and greasy, it was over saturated by the grease from the cheese and honey. I was unable to eat most of it. We will try again in the near future. PS. They offer Military discounts. They also gave me a taste of the Clam Chowder. It was very nice and tasty. read more

We had a great brunch at Cora's last weekend. Jess is a great waitress. She's friendly and checked on us regularly. The food was delicious. Sitting on patio on an early Sunday afternoon was delightful! The French toast was delicious and sweetened perfectly. The chicken salad sandwich and fries were equally delicious! The drinks were well made and served so pretty! We'll definitely be back! read more

I sadly didn't like this place... I love the neighborhood it's in. There's a bike trail where one can go biking, run or walk your dog right behind the restaurant. Anyways, I came on a Saturday night. It was fairly packed but not a full house. I got seated. The waitress said she'd back with waters but came back.... 20 minutes later with menus.. no waters. In fact, I barely saw the waitress. The bartender had to step in which was good. The bartender was attentive and kind. She took our order and got our drinks, including the waters. Unfortunately, just like service, the kitchen was also slow. Alas, our appetizer came. You would think with the slow wait, the food would be worth it, right? Nope. The lumpia's weren't good. They had no flavor. The meat was bland, and it had an overwhelming taste of oil. It also came with two sauce. One of them wasn't good. Shortly, the main entrees came. I order the Perky Turkey. Now there were some pros with the sandwich. The cranberry sauce was good and I appreciate how much turkey was put into the sandwich. However, the cons, overtook it. The bacon was inedible, super hard to chew which tells me the bacon was way overcooked, but the bread was strangest thing on my plate. The bread was mushy to where my fingers made an indent. I thought French rolls were suppose to have a crispy texture on the outside? Was it fresh out the oven? Underbaked? I have no idea. My meal came with the magic fries, and they were ok. My partner got the jalapeño fries and comparing the two fries, I couldn't really taste a difference. The jalapeño fries had a a slight tang to it but not by a whole lot. Also to point out, my sandwich meal was nearly $20. Way overpriced for some mushy bread, overcooked bacon. The place is gorgeous but definitely room for improvement in service and food. read more

Cora at Roseburg Square - Perky Turkey with Magic Fries - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

I read in the Modesto Bee that this place just closed last week. It was reported on 9/18/25 or last updated either way if you go on google it says temporarily closed. I was looking forward to trying this place out. I'm so sad that I might not, it's just to bad we have to see family owned businesses close. read more

We went on a Friday around 6/630pm. It wasn't super busy, handful of filled tables in both areas, and a nice atmosphere. We wanted the burnt ends but were told both that and the adobo chicken were already out (kind of surprised considering it was only 6pm), but we ordered adobo pork belly and the garlic parm fries and those were very tasty. I think overall across our whole group everyone enjoyed their meals; salads, the paella, and sandwich (perky turkey- it was huge and the bacon smelled so good). I had the caprese salad, half size with added roasted chicken. The fried mozzarella was crispy and pesto delicious, and while the chicken was a tiny bit on the drier side, it was good. I'd definitely order it again. One friend wanted to order the pork belly banh mi to go, and I was going to do the same, but we were told that too was now no longer available. Maybe next time. Service was good, and they were very informative and accommodating for one of our friends with a serious food allergy. I would definitely go back again and try a few other dishes. read more

Purple Pain Mocktail: highlight of my meal. Ube lime is surprisingly a good combo! Sweety Pie: the Camembert pie was fireeee. Wonderfully cheesy and sweet, and the Camembert wasn't overpowering. The garlic was a letdown (spiced but no salt!! and the garlic flavor is very cooked out). The crostini by itself was good, but I don't see the purpose with the pie already having carbs in the crust. It would have been yummy to have separate Camembert crostinis OR just take them out and have the pie. Blackberry compote was yummy and sweet, with a hint of savory/spicy flavor. Really good compote. Ok overall as a meal, I like the individual parts better. (Adobo) Pork Belly Banh Mi: not adobo pork. It's BBQ pork. My banh mi was more a slaw sandwich with pork in it. Pork was also pretty chewy, not so much crispy. I think this would have been marketed much better as maybe a sweet lechon banh mi? Did not meet my expectations for either banh mi or adobo. Campfire chili on the side was good tho. Risotto Cakes: cakes had great crisp on the top and bottom. The risotto was cooked welll overall. I'm just not a fan of the sauce which was very mushroomy for my personal taste. I think someone who is more into mushrooms would really enjoy this dish. Great texture balance, good amount of salt also. Great service, the servers checked in with me multiple times during my meal. Outdoor seating is a vibe with the brick walls and globe lights. read more

We went here day after Valentine's Day hoping to sample their usual offerings. They, however, still had their Valentine's Day menu. I didn't appreciate the risotto cake. It's pretty much risotto shaped into a small round cake. Nothing special. The bisque, however, was good. Perfect for dipping bread. The lamb chops and the duck were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The place was cozy. It wasn't busy when we dined so we pretty much had full attention of the wait staff. It was a pleasant experience but would be back to try their usual offerings read more

3.5 stars. the ambience is about the same as what was there before. I honestly couldn't tell a difference. went with a friend and he ordered the fried chicken sandwich. He said it was sooo spicey. He couldn't finish 2nd half. I ordered the 1/2 caprese sandwhich w/jalapeño dust on fries. It was good but a little greasy to me. They fry the mozzarella balls. I prefer fresh. it didn't make sense to me. lots of olive oil saturated bread. I don't think I would order again unless they would be able to not fry. Service was pretty slow and there were only a few tables in there. I counted 4 including us. But they did just recently open. took a very long time to get our food. At least the company was good while we waited & I wasn't starving. And so many of the taps of beer were out. Go check it out and support local. I would definitely order the chicken sandwich if you can handle the heat! read more

Friday night, busy. Service was super slow seemed as if there was only one server. Very rushed and took all of our orders but didn't take my order and noticed mine was missing after she had brought out all 6 plates and not mine. I was starving, but I patiently waited. The food came out. My son didn't like the pizza quesadilla. No sauce just cheese and pepperoni. The pepperoni was wet and soggy. He was sad. My youngest had a cheese cheeseburger which fell on the ground. We didn't want to bother the server since it was busy. My burger was the drifter the meat had no seasoning the sauce was at the bottom of my plate instead of on top of the burger. The place looks the same as before when it was divine swine. The booths are hard and wooden. Not comfy. Overall, it was disappointing experience Maybe we'll give it a try again in a couple years. read more

This is one of those places where you just slow down and enjoy. The food takes a bit, but it's worth every second--especially the Reuben, which is hands down the best I've ever had. The patio is the best in Modesto, the service is always great, and the owners are incredibly kind. They're out talking to tables, making sure everyone's taken care of as well as in the kitchen making the food! You can tell they really care. If you're going to support any local spot, make it this one. read more

Cora at Roseburg Square - Bloody Mary - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

The food was delicious and the service was great. Would definitely come back again! The portions are huge so we couldn't finish it all but that makes it worth the money for sure. The tipsy toast was soooo good. I liked the ube cocktail too, surprisingly good and didn't taste like artificial ube extract. It tasted like real ube! The lumpia are larger than they look and really juicy yet crispy. The gravy on the "who you calling chicken" is really savory and tasty. The mezcal sour is very bitter and aromatic so if that's not your style drink I would go for something sweeter. My boyfriend ordered it but I finished it for him lol. Overall, would definitely recommend trying this place out for yourself. read more

Cora at Roseburg Square - Ribs and magically fries and paella. Peach and red sangria - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Modesto, California

We may have come on an off day. Every business is allowed a little grace. The reviews have been so good so it leads me to believe we just came on an odd day. I was with a party of three and all of us had issues with food or drink. Also service was very slow. Orders for food and drink took longer than normal. Food was so rich, I couldn't eat more than a few bites. My cheese sandwich needed some form of acid. I didn't even want to take the majority of the dish that remained, home. read more

Ribs were fabulous !!! Empanadas were good with the sauce . Tofu and the sauce . The adobo was fabulous . Turns out we know the family that owns this place .

The server that I had there was very kind and informative of our food. The "Purple Pain" was a phenomenal flavored drink that will sneak up on you if you don't control yourself with it. Only downside is that the Paella is always sold out when I go there. That's my only gripe. read more

Three of us had lunch here on Saturday, February 22. We were seated promptly and water was brought quickly. The three of us each ordered something different. All of the food was very good. My only complaint is that it took 35 minutes from the time our order was taken until we received our entrees. My second complaint was that the acoustics were bad and a group of ladies in the bar were quite loud and the noise carried over throughout the restaurant. So customers need to be aware of the loud noise. Again, the waitstaff were pleasant and the food was very good; orders were a perky turkey sandwich, a breakfast, and ribs. Serving size was generous. read more

We really want to love this place. It's within walking distance from our house, and our neighborhood is tight-knit--who wouldn't want a great bar and restaurant right in the heart of their little community? We've given it five tries now, but unfortunately, our most recent visit might have been the last. When they first opened, we assumed the hiccups were just part of being new. But it's been nearly a year, and things still haven't improved. I'm giving 3 stars because the cocktails are always creative and delicious, and the servers, while often slow and sometimes a bit scattered, are friendly. Most of our visits have followed a similar pattern, but our latest one stood out for all the wrong reasons. We were told there would be a 15-minute wait for our table of seven--it ended up being 30. We were seated around 7:30 and immediately ordered drinks and three kids' meals. Our cocktails didn't arrive for nearly 30 minutes, and the kids' meals took over an hour. By the time the adults finally got their food (which we ordered upon the arrival of our first round of drinks), It was almost 10:00 pm & two of the kids had fallen asleep at the table. We took a few bites and boxed the rest to go. On top of that, I had ordered the rice bowl with crispy tofu, but it came with pork instead. I don't eat much pork and was really disappointed, especially after waiting two hours. I wasn't about to send it back, so I just ate a few bites around it, but I'm pretty sure the tofu would've been the highlight of the dish--what I ended up with wasn't worth $20. I mentioned the mix-up to our server when I asked for a to-go box, and she apologized, but when the check came, the bowl was still on the bill. I get that I took it home, but I didn't actually eat it, and it wasn't what I ordered. I asked if they could at least adjust the price to reflect the difference between tofu and pork, and eventually, she removed the item entirely. We had great company, tasty drinks, and loved seeing familiar faces--but our kids were miserable, the wait times were wild, and I left starving. The couple we were with expressed to us they likely will not be back. It was their first visit. We want this spot to succeed. Truly. But if things don't improve, it's going to be tough. This location has seen a lot of turnover over the years, and with how expensive it is to dine out these days, people just aren't going to keep coming back for a frustrating experience--even if it is the neighborhood hangout. read more

Had some breakfast at Cora at Roseburg and it was absolutely fabulous. Everything was freshly made. All the ingredients were fresh and made from-scratch and strong integrity of quality. The corn beef hash and the stack of pancakes that were fluffy and delicious and the Jims special A meat lovers Paradise. A perfect trio served up for the three of us. The coffee was perfect with the meal. The service was impeccable like always. And a nice mellow and comfortable place to have breakfast with family, and friends. Breakfast is being served now at Cora at Roseburg starting at 8 AM! read more

Food and service by Jessica was amazing. I ordered: 1. Sweet Crispy adobo pork small plate - delicious.. I requested it to be made spicy instead of sweet- and it was so amazing 2. Burrata galette- savory pastry with caprese cheese, garlic and sun dried tomatoes so good 3. Crispy chicken sandwich- huge portion - with jalapeño dusted fries... Wine was not so expensive. Mixed drinks were average for me.. But overall food was On point good. Definitely worth going back. read more

Food was fantastic! Unfortunately, the service was horrendously slow for no apparent reason, as we were in the restaurant with only one other table occupied and multiple employees were just chatting near the kitchen. It took at least 35 minutes from the time of our order to getting our food in the middle of the afternoon on a Friday. Would like to try it again, but have to be prepared for a long wait I guess. read more

Excellent service, ambiance, and food. The only paella in town that's actually good. Portions are big! We ordered the pork belly and lumping appetizers...good sizes! Also got the paella and ribs and the portions were huge. Keep in mind it takes 30 mins for paella, so that gives you time to try a couple of their cocktails. The purple pain was excellent!

Absolutely delicious food. You can really tell they are passionate and love what they do. The adobe pork belly, burrata, and the empanadas are top tier. We've been here a few times and each time we try something different. Each time we've been astonished. The No Mercy chicken sandwich is delicious but very spicy. Keep that in mind when offering. Most recently I had the Rueben is 10/10. I wish I had taken a photo, but we destroyed the meal. Madison was a great host and service. Very attentive and you can tell she's invested as well as passionate. A great spokesperson for the business. 10/10 - my favorite restaurant in Modesto. read more

*SIGH* Let me just start out by saying that I REALLY wanna love this place. SO MUCH SO, that I tried calling to place an order today AGAIN after my previous experience with long wait time and piss poor service. I called today right at opening and even inquired if it would be a 30-minute wait for food. The staffer on the phone indicated that, yes, the wait for food would be about 30 minutes...which was fine this time around because I had prepared myself for this. Today, I wanted to order 4 things: Bossa Mossa Empanadas, Lumpia, Paella and Pork Belly Adobo. I started listing off my order with Lumpia and Paella....I was immediately stopped in my tracks and told that the restaurant was out of Lumpia AND that the restaurant does not make Paella on the weekends until it's closer to dinner time. I was told that only brunch items were available. There is NOTHING on the menu or website that indicates this to be the case. Actually, when I went to the website to consider ordering online, Paella WAS AN AVAILABLE OPTION @ 0900. I wonder what would have happened if I had placed my order online instead. I decided not to get my meal from this place today. When I hung up the phone, I cupped my palm to my forehead with disappointment. What else can I say..... read more
