Fresh food & fresh vision come together at Cork & Cap Restaurant. Our guiding tenet is simple yet uncompromising: use local ingredients and made-from-scratch, no-nonsense recipes. Our dishes pay homage to the rural heritage of Lancaster County, all with an extra pinch of creative license. Think Pennsylvania Dutch comfort food with a contemporary, cosmopolitan twist.

    RedBeet Salad, Crab Cake and Short Rib Wellington were all excellent. Wish we had room for dessert, but maybe next time. There are definitely more things on the menu that we'd like to try.

    Our visit was a short notice, unplanned dinner on a Saturday night, after a long day touring Valley Forge National Historic Monument. We decided to make a trip to Lancaster as part of our larger trip to the Greater Philly area and found Cork & Cap on OpenTable. This restaurant did not disappoint! Beautiful interior and ambience; excellent service; delicious food! From appetizers to salads, entrees and dessert, I would recommend this spot to everyone. Parking can be a bit tight on a Saturday evening but we found parking on the upper level of the center and walked a short distance to the entrance.

    Wonderful food. Terrific service. Our server Mike led us through the menu and we picked two starters and entree that were delicious. Very large portions. Beautiful atmosphere. It's a great place to celebrate a special day.

    Thrilled to hear what an enjoyable dinner and service you had with us! I'll be sure to share this review with Mike!

    Excellent food. Inattentive service. The hostess sat us at a table just inside the doorway, right up against a coat rack. Since I had made the reservation only the day before I didn’t think it was reasonable to request another table. Our server was pleasant but gave us the impression that she was too busy to wait on us. She never checked in with us after we got our salads or entrees. We also never got the chance to order another round of drinks. The server dropped the check even before dessert arrived. Otherwise, the food was excellent including the short rib Wellington, meatloaf and chocolate strawberry cake.
    Cork & Cap RestaurantResponded 7 days ago
    Christopher, We appreciate your review and are glad you enjoyed the "excellent food," especially the short rib Wellington, meatloaf, and chocolate strawberry cake. However, we're truly sorry that our service did not match the quality of your meal. We understand your frustration with the table location and the lack of attentive service, including missed drink orders and the early check drop. This feedback is invaluable, and we're addressing these points with our staff to ensure a more seamless and enjoyable dining experience for all our guests. We'd love the opportunity to make it right on a future visit.

    We celebrated my husband’s birthday here last night. And wow! We were blown away by the fabulous food, drink, and dessert options. We ordered various dishes and thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them. We did not save room for dessert but went for it anyway and had zero regrets. What really made our night was our server Mike who was our North Star in making many hard decisions (so many great options!) and making our night extra special. We will be requesting him during our next visit here!
    Cork & Cap RestaurantResponded on July 17, 2025
    What a wonderful review! We're absolutely thrilled you chose us to celebrate your husband's birthday last night. It sounds like you had a truly memorable evening. It's clear Mike went above and beyond to make your husband's birthday extra special with his honest and kind recommendations. He truly is a huge asset! We've already shared your fantastic feedback with Mike, and he's thrilled to know he made such a positive impact on your celebration.

    Everything was exceptional except the table we originally got. I made reservation over a week to make sure I got a great table as it was my birthday and was celebrating with my BFF. Originally we got seated on the first table (by the host) of the entrance where you heard everyone coming in. We asked to be moved but the host seemed a bit bothered but she complete and moved us. Again this is why reservations were made to avoid a bad table!
    Cork & Cap RestaurantResponded on July 17, 2025
    We are thrilled to hear you had an exceptional night! Apologies regarding the table selection-we always aim to give the best seats in the house to our guests. I am glad to hear that the host was able to accommodate your move to a more enjoyable spot in the restaurant for you. Thanks for celebrating with us!
