About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
Cork Tree Restaurant is built around California products. Local ingredients are used whenever possible and wines of the West Coast, particularly California, are featured.

The wine list is always a work in progress, with a balance of well known wineries, as well as boutique wineries.

Cork Tree enhabits a style rich in California elegance. Large and round booths privately encased in wood and fabric provide intimate spaces for conversation and romance, while providing views of the understated glamour of the dining room. Beautiful Palm Trees and a natural cascading fountain make the Cork Tree Patio wind-protected and well-appointed for dining under the stars. Additionally, depending on the size of your celebration, two private dining options await.

    Whenever my wife and I are looking for a great dining experience, we consider the Cork Tree, and we often go there. We have never been disappointed either in the food, the service, or the atmosphere. We were just there for Mother's Day. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

    The atmosphere, the friendly and accommodating staff. The amazing quality of the appetizers, entrees and dessert. The cocktails and wine all warrant a 5-star rating.
