Dinner was wonderful. Had happy hour menu items and they were perfect size for a light meal. Only complaint was we were charged for extra chips to go with our starter guacamole. Ridiculous as we were only given chips to begin with.

We have dined at Cork Tree several times and have always enjoyed our visit. The sea bass and short rib are excellent. They also have a shrimp and scallops special sometimes and it is very good as well. The oatmeal cookie tini is also great for a desert drink. Service is always on point. Try Cork Tree and I think you’ll will like it.
