Contemporary American
Try our new, romantic outdoor patio! Once you enter through the garden gate, you will feel safe and relaxed. A mural wall by graffiti artist iSurge, lush tropical greenery and an herb garden helps set the mood! Recipients of consecutive Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence since opening for 8 years straight, and a DiRona Fine Dining Award recipient since 2016. The menu is based on comfort food with global influences. Everything served is prepared from scratch, from cured and smoked meats, charcuterie, pastas and gelato.
The menu changes slightly with every season, and the wine, sake, and beer list is always evolving and growing.
The Cook and The Cork does not want to be considered fine-dining, but we take food and drink seriously. Our goal is to have all our guests be a part of the fun, and to share the love we have for the restaurant, food, and staff. Private and large parties accommodated, please contact directly: res@thecookandcork.com or call 954-227-2665

    Disappointed in the RSVP process. Requested a booth (RSVP was for early in the evening), told they would be busy and could not sit in the booth (they only have one). By the time we left, the booth still had not been sat. Would've at least liked a phone call to say we can not accommodate booth seating. The hostess was uninterested in anything and frumpy in appearance. The wait staff was also uninterested, the table wasn't cleared as things were completed.

    3 couples shared a small, intimate booth. We first thought it would be a right fit, but instead we had a spectacular and intimate night. Jordan provided attentive service and every appetizer and entree was superb. We’re fortunate to have such fine dining right here in the Coral Springs/Parkland area.

    We came to celebrate my wife’s birthday and getting a new house. They made us feel like family and congratulated us. Also, my wife does not eat certain things, like bacon. But, she will eat almost anything Chef Keith makes, including the bacon dip that is served with their homemade chips. Everything was beyond delicious!

    The food and the ambience was ok, old school vibe. The waiter wasn’t friendly or attentive. He put out an attitude that he didn’t care and would have preferred not to be working. Overall expensive for the experience.

    We were seated in an “outdoor garden” area which ended up actually consisting of us being seated next to a bug zapper and the street so we heard a lot of car horns and vehicles driving by. This took away from any sense of ambiance we were hoping to have. The waiter ended up passing us a few times after bringing us the initial water when we were clearly ready to put in our orders (closed menus, looking at him, attempting to get his attention). Once finally getting our order in it didn’t take too long to get the food out which was great, but again we felt some aspects of this date was already ruined by the lack of ambiance and how long it took to put in our orders. The food was fine, but I felt ripped off considering the prices likely would be tied to the ambiance which we did not see. Overall, a so/so experience.

    We had a wonderful dinner on the patio. Our waiter was Jordan and he was very personable and knowledgeable about the menu. We started with the House Made Potato Chips with Bacon & Onion Dip. The dinners were very good. Definitely will be back.

    I had dinner here with family for New Year's Eve; we had a 7 o'clock dinner for the course meal. The place was pretty dead, which was okay for us; however, the next part was unacceptable to me since that was the case. Our waiter was so busy talking to what seemed to be his friends at the bar that he was paying no attention to our table. One of the starters was dropped on the way to our table, and we sat there waiting 10 minutes for him to bring another one. While the starters were all good, we all had the beef for the main, and it had no taste. The meat was cooked properly, but the flavor was nonexistent; it needed some salt. The price charged for dining that evening was not worth it, especially since the service could have been better when they weren't even busy. I've only dined here one other time, and this is my last.
