Very nice and cozy inside. Went at dinner time on a Saturday and it was not busy at all which was great. The Brussels and wings are incredible. My partner has a dairy allergy and they were able to easily accommodate many of the dishes. We’ll be back!

Super cute restaurant inside of a senior living community. This restaurant is open to the public. When you pull up to the black gate, it will open without a code. Then head into the restaurant with free parking. They have lots of specials throughout the week. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating.

Six of us dined here for dinner this past Friday for a friend’s birthday. It was our first time here.

One couple had a hard time finding the place even though they used their GPS. It’s in a gated community.

The interior is lovely, but it also felt like we were back on a cruise ship (like the sky lounge on Celebrity). There’s a nice large bar and lots of big windows.

There’s music between 5-8pm on Fridays. It was pretty loud, which made it difficult to talk to each other.

Service started out slow, as we waited for a waitress to come by and take our drink orders. But she was attentive afterwards.

Food: My husband had the veal parmesan with linguini. He loved the linguini but said the veal was “okay.” The focaccia bread tasted like it was fresh out of the oven.

I had the chicken saltimbocca, which the sauce and sautéed spinach were so, so salty! I had to scrape off the sauce and then eat the chicken with the mashed potatoes. The chicken could have been a little more tender, but it wasn’t dried out. I also had the Caesar salad, which was very good.

Two others ordered the sea scallops (four scallops) that came with risotto and asparagus. They both thought it was very good.

One had the fish and chips (a nice size piece of fish) and the last person had the veal parmesan. They thought their food was okay.

We all agreed we may not dine here again because of the distance from where we live and having favorite restaurants with better food with shorter driving distances.

We are new residents at the Grove at Blake Farm. Our very nice neighbor Neil invited us to hear him perform. From the moment we got out of our car, it was lovely experience. The setting is beautiful as is the restaurant. The ambience is upscale yet comfortable. The food & the sweet waitress were both terrific. Neil’s playing is out of this world. What a talent. I don’t know if they know how lucky they are to have him. We will be inviting others in our community to dine at Cornelia’s & come hear Neil Dorval play that beautiful piano.

I came in the evening get a bite with my mom and we happened to show up when pianist Neil Dorval was playing at the piano. I’m glad I came. Cornelius is a large airy space with plenty of seating, smiling staff, and the really beautiful song arrangements made us feel extra welcome. The sound level of the piano was perfect. My mom heard a tune she couldn’t help herself from singing along to, that is rare! He had a variety of repertoire. I ate a delicious Caesar salad, but honestly, the music was the food for my soul there. More places around town should feature Neils live playing!

Drive up to the gate and it opens! Food was excellent. Low amount of staff, but my server handled it well. I stood at the hostess stand for 4-5 minutes before being greeted. They made up for it by having delicious food. Salmon Salad temperature was very well balanced with a mix of grilled vegetables and greens. Blackened Salmon cooked medium was very fresh. Draft beer / local beer special options were unfortunately only a night time thing and not honored during lunch. Will try dinner again soon with a date.

First time tonight and we’ll definitely return. The dining room is expansive and lovely, as is the kind and helpful staff. Food is fabulous, large portions at reasonable prices. Mom and I ordered the fried green tomatoes and Brussel sprouts appetizers, this could have been our meal. Fresh catch of corvina was amazing. The salad with salmon super healthy and cooked perfectly. Kelly was very attentive taking care of us. And the Sunset Martini’s were delicious and potent. Kudos to the kitchen staff and bartender!!

Everything from great craft cocktails to our apps and entrees it was delish! Staff were all so friendly and welcoming too. I’ll also add that the low prices for such great food and atmosphere right here in our Porters Neck neighborhood has us hooked!
