WOW! WOW! WOW! The new menu is AMAZING! A perfect balance of taste, texture, and presentation! Chef Hugo Bolanos and his culinary and pastry team are simply masters of their craft! Betty Flores, the Restaurant GM and her staff are all rockstars! They ENGAGE and CONNECT. Service is SEAMLESS and ANTICIPATORY and truly reflects a Four Seasons guest experience! Came to celebrate my son’s 10th birthday and already looking forward to visit again! Kids enjoyed food from the Kids Menu — cheeseburger, pasta, chicken tenders, truffle fries). The 10-year old birthday boy was very happy and felt very special seeing his name on the dessert plate! Starters: Warm Apricot Lane Crispy Egg & Avocado with Herb Vinaigrette, Toasted Sourdough, Garden Greens (A new exciting twist for egg and avocado lovers!) Winter Citrus & Burrata Salad with Nasturtium Greens, Basil Oil, Pomelo, Cara Cara Oranges, Toasted Pistachios (Very refreshing to the palette! All the flavors just go together and the toasted pistachios add good texture to this dish!) Side: Fondant Potatoes with Comte Mornay, Black Truffle, Chives (It’s not just a side, it’s a work of art! The potatoes were carefully sliced then rolled thoughtfully in circular form. The comte sauce and black truffle takes it to another level that is heavenly!) Entrees: “Butchers Butter” Steak Prime Ribeye Cap, Arugula with Parmesan Reggiano and Salsa Rossa (Perfect 8oz portion, steak was tender and not chewy, salsa rossa just rocks it!) Maine Lobster Frites with Sauce Americaine, Frites (Option to order half or whole, fries cut and fried to perfection! Simply scrumptious!) Dessert: Simply divine, decadent, and rich! Sometimes you just have to treat yourself and get lost in the sweet world!) Chocolate Bar 10-Layer Chocolate Cake Citrus Pavlova

Always a great experience. Food is very good and good service.

First time at restaurant for wife’s birthday. It was fantastic, the food was great and the service was superb. We were done eating and the waiter brought out a cheese piece out and drizzled some honey on it. He said this will be the best you ever had. My wife had a Megan Ryan moment! “When Harry met Sally” Food was great and we will be back

My husband and I have been to Cork Dork at least a dozen times now. We've seen the restaurant evolve, and while we keep coming back for the food and a few key people, there's a certain inconsistency that's become increasingly noticeable. Let's start with the bright spots, because they truly shine. Chef Danny is a culinary magician. Every dish we've had has been consistently delicious, showcasing innovative flavor combinations and perfectly portioned servings. The prices are more than fair for the quality you receive. And don't even get me started on the desserts! Their bread pudding is a masterpiece, a decadent treat we look forward to when it’s available. Plus, their wine selection is truly impressive. Options by the glass you rarely find elsewhere. Our experience is further elevated by two exceptional employees: Rosie, the bartender, and our server Lindy. Rosie is a ray of sunshine, always greeting us with a warm smile and crafting the most fantastic drinks. She remembers our preferences and makes us feel like valued guests. It was our first time meeting Lindy, but was equally outstanding. They were engaging, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations and making our dining experience truly enjoyable. Rosie makes amazing cocktails. Unfortunately, there's a flip side to this story. The manager, while not outright rude, has never shown any recognition of our long-term patronage. It's a small thing, but after dining here, more than a dozen times, it feels impersonal. We've never felt particularly welcomed by him, and his demeanor often lacks the warmth we experience from the rest of the staff. Despite this, we continue to return to because Chef Danny's food, Rosie's hospitality, and the overall excellent service outweigh the managerial shortcomings. If you're looking for fantastic food, unique wines, and a genuinely friendly bar experience, this place is worth a visit.
