There was definitely confusion as more and more people crowded the covered area and outside. Would definitely going earlier as the line got super long on a Saturday.

We got here at 11am on a Sunday and waited about an hour and a half for a table. The hostesses were…read moresuper nice and great about keeping everyone updated on the wait, but it was inconvenient being unable to leave (they took down only names, not phone numbers, and you had to be right there when it was called). They did offer menus for people to order coffee while they waited. The food and drinks come out as they're made, not all at once, so be prepared to wait for your dish or snag a bite from a willing friend. SKIP: Einspänner- aggressively unsweet, which kind of threw me. The coffee was rich in flavor and consistency, and combined with the straight cream top and cocoa powder, it was a little too heavy and one-note for me. Torta with queso and chipotles - this came out last, which I thought was odd considering it was the only cold item. I wouldn't order it again. It was just a lot of cold shredded cheese, sliced avocado (and not a great one), and some chipotles. It was mostly the temp that surprised me, but the flavors weren't anything remarkable either. MEH: Coconut coffee - refreshing, with a strong coconut flavor. It tasted more of coconut water than coconut milk. REORDER: Hibiscus tinga quesadilla - my second favorite item: thick corn tortillas with smoky hibiscus flower and melted, stretchy cheese. It tasted like a really nicely spiced BBQ jackfruit. It's the nature of corn tortillas that they're a little dry, so I would have preferred more oil used on the outside of the quesadilla. The Pancake - yes, it's that good. We ordered ours to split between 3 people, but if I go again I'll be keeping one for myself! Fluffy, moist, cakey perfection with the right amount of sweet Dining in mid-January got us wild blueberries as a topping. Would I wait again? For the pancake, maybe, but it seems like these kinds of literal pan-cakes are becoming more ubiquitous.

The Tinga chicken quesadilla is low key one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life (I pray…read moremy mother never sees this) and I've travelled all over the world including Mexico. This is hands down one of the my favorite late night guilty pleasures. I've driven to this place at 3am and they still had the grill going everything I've gotten here tastes so fresh at any time I've come. When I first ordered the tinga quesadilla I was confused because it looked like a giant taco and it looked way to big for just me to eat but after the first bite I knew Mexican food would never be the same for me. I was actually horrified that I ate the entire thing in like 10 minutes. Now every time I'm in Harlem near 145th street I have to stop in and eat one of these. No joke I've probably gained about 10 lbs since I found this place but it was well worth it.

I've been treated so well by the staff and it's one of the cheaper taco joints in Manhattan. Ambiance is casual with limited seating.

This place is sexy and intimate, great for date night or a friend outing…read more The staff is nice. My friend and I were looking for a place for dessert and drinks, so we stumbled into the Cordial. I ordered the prosecco, and we tried the chocolate fondue and a pear dessert. The bartender took our order; he told us that the chocolate fondue came with seasonal fruits, which he told us came with bananas, strawberries, and apples. When he gave us the desserts, the fruits on the plate were nothing, he told us. It had mango, apple, and figs (my friend is allergic to mango), so she was only able to eat only the 5 little apple pieces that were on the plate, and the figs were very mushy. The pear dessert was not so great. So I asked the bartender if he could exchange the pear dessert for more fruits for the chocolate fondue. Again, it was random different fruits; the second round of fruits was figs, oranges, and grapefruit. Cordial is small, so you can see the chefs cooking in the kitchen. With that being said, you can see one of the chefs washing dishes with gloves on and then proceeding to eat a mango with the same glove and then preparing the meals he cleaned dishes and ate with. It was so unsanitary. I just got disgusted and disappointed quickly after watching him. The sad part is that I and my friend were super happy to find a chill place to go and hang out near where we reside, but unfortunately I'm not sure I'll go back.

I'm genuinely upset to not be BOASTING about Cordial. I've been passing this place for months…read morealways too busy to stop in and finally had the opportunity to dine in. Allow me to set the scene. I had a great dinner with a friend on a Saturday night near by and decided to finally pop into Cordial to see what they had for dessert. We were so excited to see chocolate fondue with seasonal fruits and a red wine poached pear dish. We ordered both and admired the cozy, warmly lit space. The chocolate fondue was great and the poached pear was okay, we ended up sending it back because it wasn't what we expected, no biggie tho shit happens. Upon looking around that's when we noticed one of the chefs making a disgusting mistake. He was wearing the same gloves he used to wash dirty dishes to prepare foods we and the entire restaurant ate. Not only that but he was also eating the fruits he cut with those same gloves! Did I eat the germs off someone else's plate while he was washing the dishes? Probably! It's really a shame and a disgrace to this beautiful restaurant. To top it all off the server was also taking shots on the job and seemed to get more hammered with each shot. I wish I could say I was being dramatic but I'm not. I will not be returning to cordial and this review is your red flag!! Proceed with caution and be safe!
