    I’ve eaten at The Cork several times and will most likely never return. I’ve always found the food to be rather bland and not very tasty. I’ve found the quality of the food to be just barely average on every visit. I’ve had much better meals at other places at less than half the cost of a meal at The Cork. The service hasn’t been much better than the food. At least to me, this restaurant has been a continual disappointment.

    We needed quiet seating and were thrilled. Our waitress, Bella, was friendly, courteous, efficient. Tammy checked to see that we were happy with the food and service. This was our son’s first visit at the Cork. He loved it!

    We were grateful that our reservation request to sit toward the back where it’s quieter was honored. We had a pleasant table and were able to carry on conversation. We enjoyed the chopped salad, bourbon chicken and short rib gnocchi, followed by a shared piece of NY style cheesecake. The wine menu is extensive, both by the glass and bottle. Thanks for a nice evening.

    Mark, it's awesome to hear you had such a fantastic evening with us! We take pride in providing a comfortable ambiance for our guests to relax and savor delicious food and drinks. Your kind words about our menu offerings and wine selection mean a lot. We can't wait to have you join us again soon!

    Everything was great. The Greek chicken that they have had on their menu for awhile they took off. That’s one of the reasons we go back. They put a burbon chicken in its place. It was good but not as good as the Greek lemon chicken. Service was wonderful. Our server was very attentive.
    The Cork 1794Responded on November 27, 2024
    Hey Kris! So glad you had a nice time with us. Sorry to hear the Greek chicken is no longer available - we're always trying to keep things fresh with new menu items. Hope you'll give some of our other tasty dishes a try next visit!

    Always great experience when we dine here. The special was Duck when we went and it was great. Our kids who go to college in the area had never been there before and enjoyed everything they ate.

    It was a later lunch on a Thursday, so pretty quiet. Our server, Brandon, was pretty wonderful. Service was flawless, the food was delicious. We wanted to have a long lunch to catch up, and he was so gracious throughout. We never felt rushed. A lovely meal and experience.
    The Cork 1794Responded on November 18, 2024
    Patricia, we're so glad you and your friend had a relaxing catch-up over lunch! Nothing beats good food and warm, attentive service when you want to linger and enjoy quality time together. Hope to see you back soon for another great experience!
