    We were very disappointed by the quality of food. The muscles were barely edible, not at all how described on the menu. The tuna wontons had a huge dollop of sour cream on top detracting from any possible flavor of tuna. Our waitress was lovely and compensated us for the muscles.  although we had intended to stay for a full meal and celebrate a special birthday, we left after appetizers. This is not the level of quality we expect from this establishment as we have had in the past.

    We went to Cork when it first opened and have been a few times over the years, but it's been a while. We were so pleased that they have managed to find a good balance between tapas for sharing and entrees for folk who prefer to eat that way. The server was very helpful navigating the menu and listening to each member of our party with full attention. Also they were very good at helping kept the table clear as plates were emptied and then refilled without being obtrusive. It was a wonderful meal.

    Coral was AMAZING! Our first time here and we will come again and tell friends! The timely manner for drinks , Apps, entree and desserts! The experience was nothing like I’ve seen in New Bedford. The pairing of food, herbs and veggies was outstanding

    Was excited to try this tapas restaurant as menu looked great. Food turned out to be ok at best with the gnocchis the major disappointment due to way too heavy sage flavor. Charcuterie and egg rolls were good. Wine list was way short on Spanish offerings and they were out of a couple of offerings on their flights. Service was great and building it was located in was really cool.

    I had a reservation for 8 and our table was all set up perfectly when we arrived. The server was very attentive, the atmosphere was comfortable, nice background music playing, then a singer started with great vocals. The food was on point as well as the wine list!

    Service was excellent, but unfortunately the food was just not good. The descriptions of the food sounded so good and everything had the potential to be great, and the portions were decent, but nothing was executed well. The mushrooms were cold and the smoky flavor was overpowering, the calamari was cold and the breading was wet and fell off the calamari rings, the mussels were undercooked and lacked flavor, the confit chicken wings were too sweet and were overcooked, the squash gnocchi were incredibly salty and were mushy and gummy. We had been wanting to try this place for a long time too, so we were really disappointed. The restaurant was nearly empty at prime time on a Saturday, so maybe that’s a reflection of the food quality, or could’ve been an off night.

    Sat at the bar upstairs that has views of the waterfront of New Bedford and the ocean. The bartender was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The food was superb. I highly recommend this restaurant.
