    This visit was our second time there. The food was amazing (as it was our first time)! We had a party of 5, and we ordered a smattering of different dishes ranging from traditional chicken parmesan to more modern Squid ink pasta with scallops and more. All were absolutely wonderful. Our server, Ashley, was also amazing as were all the other service staff. I will be back and highly recommend this restaurant.

    Great experience of service and food. Our waiter was knowledgeable of the wine choices and made great suggestions on our food selections. One of our party needed gluten free and he was very accommodating to make sure she was served safely. Definitely going back again!

    Attended for dinner for our son’s 18th birthday. Food is always great but service was a little slower than usual but we were happy to have time to talk with our son. Waitress was attentive but seemed to have too many tables so between orders and picking up food, there was sometimes a long wait. Ordered two 8oz and one 12oz fillet, with vegetables. Will be back again for sure.

    If you're looking for a comforting mini getaway dining experience, The Cork kitchen is a must. Scenery overlooking beautiful stream and vineyards along with abundance of maple trees make the overall experience soothing and relaxing. The overall menu is delicately managed as it is subtle in variety. The ambiance is great, it's rather delicate noise levels make the dining experience comforting but loud enough to feel at ease. Make a visit and enjoy. Totally worth it.
