    Always a great experience at the Cork. Dinner was amazing, service was above average and food was excellent. Atmosphere was next level with live music to add to the ambiance. High class atmosphere. Recommend giving it a try. You will not be disappointed.

    First time - service, cocktails and food were all excellent. My daughter has dietary issues and she was very happy with both the options and quality of her food!

    Great food and atmosphere, but unfortunately we had a bad server who never came to the table until the end of the meal.

    Pretty place, nice bathrooms! The service is solid, friendly FOH staff. Food is lacking. Donuts could be good, but you can’t dunk an already cooked donut in fryer oil. Cold French fries, and the saddest hummus I have ever had. You need Expand vegetarian and vegan options, or at least be able to customize the regular menu items to make them vegetarian or vegan.
    The Cork 1794Responded on April 29, 2025
    Tracy, thanks for the honest feedback! We're continuously working to improve our menu options. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Hope you'll give us another try soon!

    Great food, Thor was a wonderful server, always a good experience. Music is always a bit loud and makes it hard to hear conversations.

    Carolyn, hearing that a server provided such a wonderful dining experience makes us smile! Looking forward to another great visit with you soon!
