This place had outside seating, but with the prospect of a t-boomer rolling in...myself and friend ponyed up the bar on a heavy duty metal low back bar stool. Amber was the bartender. Watching her mixing skills stood out. My buddy had a wine and I had an unsweetened iced-tea. Ironic, since none of got a mixed drink. Amber's hearing over the performer was Radar O'Reilly amazing. The food here was really good. I did not have any of the coconut shrimp, but was told that the panko coconut batter was crisp and sweet. I had yucca fries. Slightly spicy with a little crisp tastes. The aielo was my least favorite part of the dishes. We also had the cheese and meat board (thankfully the French name calling was spared!)...The cheese was edam and a thick cut soft cheddar. The house pickles were amazing. Came with some cured Italian cold cuts and fruit. It was a really nice tapas. The whole damage w. tip came to 92.00. I highly recommend Cork!!! Check out the bar!!

We were graciously welcomed by our waitress as the very first patrons of this Saturday afternoon. She kindly recognized that we were newcomers and provided us with insights about the establishment. Following her recommendation, we indulged in the empanada special, which proved to be absolutely delightful. For our main courses, my wife opted for the Tommy Oliver Burger, which was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. She paired it with the regular fries, perfectly golden and seasoned to perfection. As for me, I savored the Mushroom Swiss Burger with a side of Truffle fries, which were nothing short of exceptional. My burger, without a doubt, ranks among the top 10 burgers I've ever had – juicy, scrumptious, and a true masterpiece of beef. While this visit marked our first, it certainly won't be our last. A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful staff!

Tried Cork Wine and Tapas for the first time in a long time. Not sure why I waited so long. Everything was excellent and I would argue that they offer up some of the best appetizers in the area. The Calamari was excellent. Well seasoned, crunchy and not rubbery or over cooked. Philly cheese steak rolls were good, came with a good dipping sauce. The truffle fries with garlic aioli were great. The landsliders were really, really good as well. Wife got a expresso martini which was good as well. Looking forward to a return trip.

Another amazing meal at cork! Tonight, we had the confit wings, seared tuna, the Okinawa gnocchi, and of course the Cork Seared scallops. For cocktails, we got the Gin& Rose's and the hot honey sour. We love this place so much!

Hi howre you, my partner Josh and I went out to dinner to celebrate his big raise, food was to die for! Our server was super sweet idunno their name, but I loved every moment! I got so filled I had to put the fries in the bag to eat them at home later! LOL All these low star reviews are just being picky, I just hope this place doesn’t get tired of seeing my face and banning me! Thanks again!

Must go to restaurant; if you enjoy the taste of delectable, well synchronize plate licking dishes and salubrious inventive drinks. I only learned of this place from a musician who regularly plays music here at the Cork (CarSon Acoustic) and he spoke very highly of this place. So my wife and I decided to enjoy our 15 year anniversary dinner this time around here at the Cork. Iam glad we did.

Second time there and there will definitely be more visits. The food is delicious. Drinks are always a hit! I had an issue with the truffle fries being overcooked and the server had no problem going back to the chef to get a new batch.
