I was so happy with this choice! Since it is family style and the portions are large the restaurant is quite a good value. Staff was super warm and attentive and the food is on the healthy side and melts in your mouth. The flavor of the wood stove is beautiful! Bravo.

Our first time at the Cork and it was lovely. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. With so many Boulder restaurants veering towards pretentiousness it’s so nice to go to a great restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Gretchen was a delightful server.

New Year’s Day is always challenging to find an open restaurant for our anniversary. Staff seemed understandably weary, food and drinks took unusually long time but we couldn’t fault the food quality. At these prices we expect outstanding service and attention to detail but given the timing and challenges facing restaurant businesses we understand.
