    Would have been perfect except for three very loud women who were really annoying.

    We come here often for lunch in the garden. The food and service are always excellent as are the Georis wines. This was a birthday lunch on a beautiful day. We enjoyed the roasted pear salad, a Meyer lemon pizza and the mussels. Also because our main courses didn’t arrive at the same time, our kind waitress gave us a free dessert! Terrific Creme Brûlée! Can’t wait for our next visit.

    My favorite place for 10 years until this weekend. No more wine flights, minimal food options, small portions, and crappy service. So disappointed and so sad, that this place, I once called a gem, is somewhere that I’ll probably never go to again.

    We go a couple of times a month on Thursday Nights as it is 1/2 off a bottle of wine under $100.00, I usually get the Mussels which are to die for, my wife will either do steak Frites or pasta, we also share a pear salad which is excellent as well.

    We chose this restaurant based on the recommendation of our Airbnb and the menu. They had 3 entries we were interested in: Mussels, Trout and Fish Tacos. When we got there, we were told that they don't serve Trout anymore and they were out of mussels (it was 6:30). I chose the fish tacos; my husband and one of the other guests chose the hamburger - medium. When the hamburgers came, my husband's was rare and my friend's was well-done...REALLY how can you mess up on both hamburgers. They were removed and came back decently cooked. My fish tacos contained lots of breading and little fish - very disappointing. The real kicker was considering the name of the restaurant, "CORKSCREW", their wine list was very limiting. They offered NO Cabernet Sauvignon. The two reds the server suggested I try were not good at all. Believe me, I am not a wine snob - I just wanted a decent full bodied red. In conclusion, I would not recommend this restaurant.

    I would not recommend them for Brunch. Anything else is fine. There is no "brunch" things on the menu. Not only that, there are only three entrees. We wondered why we were the only ones there at 11:30 am on a Sunday.

    We have been going on date night on Thursday as it is half of a bottle of wine under $100.00, we usually share a pear salad (to die for), & I usually get the mussels (so good) & my wife gets the steak frites (very yummy).
