We went to celebrate our birthdays, and the Cork did not disappoint! My husband started with a Manhattan, which he gave 5 stars! The fire cracker shrimp appetizer was yummy, as was the Caesar salad. Our entrées were presented beautifully, and were delicious. And, as an unexpected birthday surprise, we were treated to crème brûlée! The staff was attentive, and the timing of the courses being served was perfect.
