   When making reservation was told there would only be a lunch menu available. That was a very limited menu. More of the brunch selections were available. It was Christmas Eve. Had we known this to be the case, we would have opted to go to another restaurant. The mimosa holiday item was very good as well as the desserts, as well as the appetizer. Two out of three of us noticed a large amount of saltines to the food. Appreciate my calling to say we would be several minutes late for our reservation. Very cordial and understanding!

   Dinner at the cork a truly amazing experience the receptionist at the front very professional very friendly and got us our table quickly we did have a reservation which I'm sure helped they set us down the wait staff was extremely friendly extremely knowledgeable do the menu inside and out was it being our first time there they explained the menu they explained the surf and turf the cuts of meat how you could customize your meal. We didn't wait very long for our meals to come once we ordered the meats came precisely how you ordered them cuz I like my steak rare I couldn't have had a better rare steak it was absolutely amazing very succulent very juicy the ambience was absolutely amazing I can continue going on about this restaurant we will be going back that is for sure I recommend this restaurant for anyone.

   Our group of four had a wonderful dining experience tonight at the Cork. Every aspect of the "night out" was spot on! Our reserved table was ready for us when we arrived. The host was gracious, as were all of the wait staff. We started the night with a round of holiday cheer! I must say my Bad Santa specialty cocktail was especially festive. We shared the Naan Bread appetizer, which was delicious. For our entrees, three of us had the Lobster Scampi, and they all raved about it. I had the pork chop, which was the largest, most tender, and flavorful serving of pork I have ever had. We all highly recommend our food and drink choices. On top of all this, the holiday decor was stunning and added to the festive atmosphere of the evening.

   We had such a wonderful evening at the Cork on the Tuesday 12/17/24. We started with a cocktail before dinner with great conversation and service from the bartender Brian. Our dinners were delicious and served by IsaBELLA who was very attentive to our needs! Thanks “The Cork”, you never cease to amaze us and to make our evenings with you more wonderful. We will return soon!!

   Honestly, this is the first time I have been disappointed with The Cork. To start with, it took awhile to place our order. Then, people that came in after us and were seated after us, received their order before we did. When the food arrived, my order was not warm at all. Don’t know if it sat on a shelf or what before it came to me, but it was not warm. My toast was so cold that the butter I spread on it didn’t melt! The eggs were not warm either. I ordered them over easy and the running yolks were cold. The server did not check up on us at all. Had to look for her and flag her down to get a refill on my coffee. My wife ordered hot tea. The teapot she received was barely filled. She couldn’t even pour herself a second cup! We’ve been there before and left extremely pleased, but not so much this time.

   Everything excellent except for the food tasted like the chef dumped a salt shaker over the entire meal including the soup, appetizers, and fries. No other restaurants use that much salt. Wow! The salt ruined what was very good food!

   Hi Charmaine! We're super bummed to hear the food was too salty during your recent visit. Thanks for the honest feedback - it'll help us dial things in and ensure a better experience for you next time. We'd love to have you back soon for a properly seasoned meal on us!

    I’ve eaten at The Cork several times and will most likely never return. I’ve always found the food to be rather bland and not very tasty. I’ve found the quality of the food to be just barely average on every visit. I’ve had much better meals at other places at less than half the cost of a meal at The Cork. The service hasn’t been much better than the food. At least to me, this restaurant has been a continual disappointment.
