    Overall dining experience was great. Small Resturant. Great wine and whiskey options. Our server was Ann, and she was awesome. Knowledgeable of the menu and made great suggestions.

    Unbelievable experience last night at Cork & Cow. A local gem and one the best restaurants anywhere in Middle Tennessee (or elsewhere). HIGHLY recommended. (But don't tell anyone!!)

    Bread on the beef tartar was burnt and I thought the veggies lack seasoning and had an over powering smoky taste. Very small space, decor was nothing special and the place was too dark! You could hardly see the menu or food and the place was very loud which I'm sure it's due to the tight space. There are definitely better steak houses.

    Such a fantastic experience. Definitely recommend the house bread service, tilefish, gnocchi, and the Mr. Hyde cocktail for bourbon drinkers! Aarion gave lovely, unobtrusive service and we enjoyed a quiet, peaceful dinner together upstairs in the mezzanine!
