Cork Tree Restaurant is built around California products. Local ingredients are used whenever possible and wines of the West Coast, particularly California, are featured.

The wine list is always a work in progress, with a balance of well known wineries, as well as boutique wineries.

Cork Tree enhabits a style rich in California elegance. Large and round booths privately encased in wood and fabric provide intimate spaces for conversation and romance, while providing views of the understated glamour of the dining room. Beautiful Palm Trees and a natural cascading fountain make the Cork Tree Patio wind-protected and well-appointed for dining under the stars. Additionally, depending on the size of your celebration, two private dining options await.

    We had an outstanding dinner experience at Cork Tree last night. My wife and I had the seared sea bass, which was excellent. Our dining partners had chicken and short ribs, which they enjoyed as well. The Cork Tree also has ca very good wine selection. The services from Max and his team was also excellent.

    Lovely staff - from the greeter to the gentleman who served our water and bread, and the gentleman who took and served our orders. Dinner and wine was delicious. Would highly recommend.

    Great place and food was exceptional! Everyone had a great meal. We had a birthday and they brought out a chocolate cake with a candle. The only recommendation I’d have for them is to use 1 large ice cube for fancy cocktails (ie old fashioned) and not crushed ice.
