    Was sat at hi top in bar there was a private party so very loud in the beginning. Are server Katherine was excellent. Drinks arrived quickly. Had the short rib Wellington and the duck. Wellington was good the duck was excellent (cooked perfectly medium rare and the skin was crispy). Crème Brûlée was very good as was the espresso martini. Overall nice night and we would return again

    We enjoyed our visit very much. Our server Mike was fantastic. We had the crab dip, Caesar salad, the salmon dish, and the short rib Wellington. For dessert, Mike recommended the Keylime torte which was delicious. Thank you, Mike for a memorable experience. We can’t wait to return.

    Our party of 6 had an excellent meal at Cork & Cap! Everything was delicious. We ordered the brisket, which was amazingly moist and tender, we subbed with mashed potatoes which paired very well; the duck was cooked to perfection and the New York strip steak was delicious. Our waitress, Karen, was attentive and very helpful. We appreciated the smaller menu which allows the restaurant to do what they do well. We will be back!

    I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the Cork & Cap restaurant. When I made the reservation on Opentable, it said that at the time I requested there were no regular tables available, only high tops...which is fine. But when we arrive there were plenty of regular tables, even after we were seated for 15 minutes there were open regular tables. Not sure who is at fault here... OpenTable or Cork & Tap. Unfortunately things continue to go downhill from here. We were brought our bread and a of water. I poured some water into my glass (which was already on the table) and took a sip and that is when I felt something in the water and in my mouth. I looked in my glass and there was a bug floating in it (not a small one either). I brought it it the attention of our waitress and to my surprise, she was somewhat dismissive of the situation. Saying..it must have gotten there while the glass was sitting on the table overnight. No real apology...just...let me get you a new glass. Wow. I would have expected a more shocked response. Or maybe a visit from the manager to say how sorry they are for that to have happened. But let's move on. I ordered the Ribeye and it was cooked properly. However, it lacked that Ribeye flavor. I must be honest....I have had better steak at Texas Roadhouse and for a better price. On the other hand, my wife had the Brisket Wellington which she really liked. All in all it was a weird and underwhelming experience.

    Dear Stephen, Thank you for dining with us, and for taking the time to share your feedback from last night's visit. I'm truly sorry to hear about your recent experience, especially regarding your water glass, and feeling disappointed with your table placement is certainly not the standard we strive to uphold. Please know that we take your concerns seriously. I have addressed the issue with my team to ensure extra care is taken for our guests moving forward. Your comfort and satisfaction is very important to us, and I sincerely regret that we fell short. I would love the opportunity to welcome you back, and provide you with the experience you expected and deserve. Please keep an eye for a phone call from us, as I would love to speak with you.
