    After reading some not so great reviews, my friend and I were reluctant to eat here. We are glad we ignored those reviews. We made a 4:15pm reservation in a Saturday. When we arrived, it was already getting busy. We happened to be in town during restaurant week, so we took advantage of the 3 course menu for 49.99. We both ordered the crab cake, Asian salmon, and chocolate cake. Everything was very good. The crab cake was huge and very tasty, with lots of crab. I wish mine was heated up more, but it had a good sear on both sides. The salmon was also very good, but the vegetables with it were over cooked. Service was great up until this point, when we couldn’t locate our server. We took the chocolate cake to go since we were so full from the other 2 courses. It was very rich and was served with sauce and whipped cream in separate containers. With a few improvements, this defiant would have been a 5 star review. I would recommend The Cork and we will return to try some other menu items.
    The Cork 1794Responded on January 30, 2025
    Sherri, we're pumped you had such a fabulous time trying us! It's always a treat to hear that our signature dishes like the crab cake and salmon knocked it out of the park. While we aim for perfection, we're thankful for the constructive feedback to help us keep leveling up. We can't wait to have you back to savor more of our mouthwatering offerings!
