    We’ve dined here many times and have always enjoyed the experience, but unfortunately, tonight was quite disappointing. There was no mention on OpenTable that dinner would be a buffet. Our reservation was at 7:00 PM, but by the time we arrived, most of the food had been picked over, and the buffet was clearly winding down as the restaurant closed at 8:00 PM. This was meant to be a special evening celebrating my son’s graduation, but the service and dining experience fell well short of expectations.

    First time trying the buffet, they did an excellent job. The service was quite good and the food was delicious. We will definitely do the Mother’s Day buffet again next year.

    It was extremely busy during Mother’s Day brunch but Sam and the entire Cork staff did an absolutely phenomenal job keeping everything running as smoothly as possible. The food was amazing too. Thank you for a great morning!

    Mother's Day Buffet started at 9am. Buffet and staff were not prepared for things to begin at 9. Some food on the buffet was cold, as they didn't have the sternos going. Took them to 10 to get things working better. Waiter was attentive. Food better later in the morning. Some staff definitely better then others to handle the hustle and bustle of Mother's day. Not sure they do a lot of buffets. Should probably stick to made to order off the menu.

    My husband and I had a 7:45 reservation for dinner last night..we did not have a server come over to us for at least 15-20 minutes..extremely disorganized and chaotic…it took almost an hour to get our appetizers…and after 1 hour and 45 minutes, we still never got our dinner..we had enough and left..so very disappointed!..it would certainly make us think twice about going back.

    First of all it was very busy! But the service was wonderful! Our server Serena was very attentive and was able to answer all our menu questions. Kuddos to the staff for keeping pace with the Mothers Day crowd.

    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.

    Visited for a birthday celebration. The one entree (ribeye steak) wasn't cooked the way it was requested. Had a early evening reservation on a Thursday night and was already out of one of the dinner specials. Overall we enjoyed the evening but don't think I'll go back right away. The much better choice is the sister restaurant, the Skunk and Goat in North East PA. Visiting from Pittsburgh, it don't compare with the upscale dining options we are are accustomed to. Will continue to dine at the Skunk and Goat.
