Fantastic first experience at Corteza. The menu was unique, and all of the food was delicious- from multiple appetizers, two entries, and a fantastic dessert. Our server, Jorge, was attentive, kind, and well versed in the menu and wine selections. We will certainly return, and if this first visit is any indication, it will quickly become a favorite!
