Time: Friday night, 7 pm w/ Groupon
Summary: As a restaurant, I would pass, it's definitely a banquet venue (which they may do well) and the live bands may make it worth your while.
Food: overkill on butter. Huge portions. We got the calamari which had crazy intense flavors, a cheese dip (gorgonzola, scallions, tomatoes) which I definitely could have skipped (way too heavy for an app), a burger (solid), and a lobster pizza which was Meh - greasy and not terribly tasty.
Hit or miss, depending on the dish. I would recommend ordering lightly.
*Pros: Affordable, big portions, interesting menu options.
Cons: Place was completely deserted, not a lot of atmosphere. Looks and feels like a banquet venue.
If there was a way to give this place 0 stars i would. I've been to a few functions at this establishment and each time I ask myself why the hell anyone would ever pay money to be here when they could just do the event in their basment and have a better experience.
The staff is HORRIBLE. I don't think i've ever seen anyone smile nevermind cater to a need or fix an issue a customer had. The bar staff is a joke. The best comparison i can give it... it's like going to the elks lodge where everyone knows everyone, no one cares, and the bar staff could give a shit about being accomodating.
My latest experience was a wedding last August. They had a wedding there and on the other side of the wall had a band playing... the guests from the show were walking into the reception area.. and it's the closest thing to a biker hang out i've seen.. imagine those types of people at your wedding reception?? not good.
IT's just a place that takes your money, gives minimal service, could careless about accomodating you, and tries to pack people in in order to make rent i guess.
If you're looking to book an event there... look elsewhere.
I went there with my 4 year old daughter for dinner. We arrived around 6 and had the place to ourselves. The waiter wasn't very attentive. As far as the food goes it was okay but I can't figure out why it's called the Seafood grille when there were only 3 or 4 seafood dishes on the whole menu. I was disappointed by this. Thought there would be more seafood offerings from a resturant with Seafood Grille in the name. Oh well. My daughter's chicken fingers were bland at best. She barely touched them. The best part of dinner was the banana crepes for dessert. I won't be returning to this resturant unless it's to see the live entertainment which I have heard is pretty good. Definitely not for dinner
Review Source:I have been to Corinne's many, many times over the past 10 years and I am just getting around to writing a review.
My GF and some friends went here last night to see an 80's band I really like quite a bit, so for this night we were just meeting friends and having drinks. Â When we arrived, about 845 PM, it was pretty quiet. Â We sat at the corner of the bar and ordered our drinks,started our tab, bartender was quite friendly and efficient (at least for now). Â We chatted a bit and the bar started to fill up. Â Now, it started getting a little odd.. Â Two of the bartenders were doing shot after shot after shot with patrons and clearly getting intoxicated.. Â The bar began filling up with more patrons and these two bartenders were way out of it.. Â Our bartender consistently had to keep asking if we had a tab, we would say yes, give her the name, she would forget and ask again. Â This happened several times, and not just with us, anyone that had a tab. Â Another patron ordered two miller lites and handed her a VISA. She said "10.00 minimum order" he said I just "want to keep it open". She said (clearly drunk) you want to keep it open? Â he said.. Â Yes, just keep it open.. Â She says again, well it's a 10.00 minimum.. Â He is looking at her like what are you talking about?? KEEP IT OPEN.. Â Bartender.. "Huh, keep it open"?.. Â If you weren't hammered you'd understand what he is saying.. Â She finally got it, it's a TAB.. Â However, she still said it was a 10.00 minimum charge.. Â At this point the guy didn't even care.. Â This bartender was an embarrassment and at times disappeared.. Â The band, I have seen several times and they are always good.. Â End of the night, try to get our tab about 7 times, couldn't get any help. Â Finally we did, this was now a different bartender, I said "we'll pay cash".. Â he walked away.. Â Came back with the receipt charged to my VISA. What is the matter, he was probably wasted too. Â My GF said.. Â We wanted to pay cash.. Â his answer.. Â Oh, sorry.. Â I guess I could delete it and you could pay cash.. Â NO WAY.. Â I could just see that cluster taking place.. Â I am sure my card would have been charged twice.. Â Moral of this review.. Â Good place to watch a band you like, but be prepared for some rather embarrassing bartender service.. Â Also, I have eaten here several times.. Â I have had their cheeseburger and fried.. Â fries are mediocre at best, burger was gross.. Â I had a Lobster Roll, more Lobster than Lettuce and Lobster had no seasoning. Â I have had the boneless wings, bland and were cold. (Look we live less than 4 miles from this place and never go to eat here).. Â So, again, good place to meet friends to see a band and have some fun. Â Would not recommend food and be ready for God knows what kind of service.

I went there with my husband for dinner and I was very pleased. The atmosphere is loud like others say because a band was playing. But, the music was pretty good, so we didn't mind. Service was ok, no complaints there. Our food, however, was really good. We ordered the beef teriyaki with pineapple chutney for an app. and that was tender and yummy. My hubby's entrée was the bourbon beef tips, along with sides of parmesan risotto and butternut squash. (You choose your own sides with most dishes.) He really liked his dish but he liked mine even better. I had the portobello chicken marsala. The portion was generous, with a lot of sauce, which I like. It was not like other marsala sauces I've had but it was rich and delicious! Overall, I would grade Corinne's with a solid A for the food but a B- for atmosphere.
Review Source:Went out with a group of 10 friends after a reunion and went to Corinne's because a few folks wanted to do karoake. Ordering drinks at the bar this exchange happened.with my pal Ed.." Could I have a Miller Lite?" "No"
"How bout a Coors Light?" No...out of that too. I look around the joint and there are 5 people in the entire place...cause and effect methinks...but we venture on...we arrived at 11:15pm and at 12:10am they are calling last call. Really?? Are you so out of drinks that 10 people coming in and spending money has completely wrecked BOTH bartenders that are on?? This place is a joke and should be treated as such.
