Description

A few years ago, Cora's was still a crusty, hash-brown-intensive beach café. Bruce Marder, owner of the pricey Italian restaurant Capo next door, transformed the place into a lunch counter out of a GQ shoot: a patio shaded with crimson bougainvillea, a burbling Tuscan fountain, the distant crashing of the surf - sometimes you want a chef's salad, and sometimes you want an insalata ­caprese made with farmers-market tomatoes and ­oozingly creamy burrata cheese; sometimes you need ham 'n' eggs the morning after, and sometimes delicate petals of San Daniele prosciutto. Cora's hamburgers are magnificent, drippy things made of coarsely chopped, beyond-prime Wagyu cow, and for dessert, there is occasionally an intense homemade burnt-caramel ice cream bitter enough to make a 10-year-old child weep.

    Fine Diner

    Cora’s used to be the tiniest cafe, a favorite hang of surfers, pier fishermen and idlers. Lunch and breakfast only. Closed by 3 p.m. Nice piece of real estate, though, right there on Ocean Boulevard, where all the big new hotels were going up.... More »
