    Neighborhood haunt. Seafood gumbo was very good; flatbread, not so much. Good enough cocktail, good enough wine list. Bartender wasn't very chatty.

    Great food, very extensive menu featuring a good variety of food. Portions are large, good wine and cocktail menu with generous pours. Very reasonable pricing. Nice atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant. We were attending a concert from out of town and chose this restaurant after researching on TripAdvisor.

    Table of 6 by the bar. One had recent knee issues so we were unable to sit upstairs. It was a bit tight (small table) but we had a very enjoyable dinner. Staff is wonderful. Food is excellent.

    Cork was extremely busy when we got there for our reservation. The staff was so kind and accommodating while we waited for a table to open. The food was delicious, as always. Love this place!

    Valentines dinner, extra tables created a noisy dinner. Crowded so service was a bit slow. Food was amazing. Super delicious and hardy serving. Definitely off the beaten trail but worth a visit.
