   It was a cold evening as we entered the restaurant with little signage. It looked as though we were entering an office building of sorts. Two teenage girls at the host stand asked for our name and didn’t bother to ask if we wanted to check our coats. As we sat down we awkwardly just sat on our coats. No still or sparkling bottled water was offered, it was immediate tap. This is a white linen cloth table experience. Which is very old school. The servers seemed overwhelmed on a Saturday night with half the restaurant empty. The 4 top next to us (before we saw our waiter) had a server bring them drinks claw gripping 4 instead of using a tray. Drop 2 drinks off at their table and then 2 drinks off at the table next to them. On the way to the bathroom you catch a glance at the kitchen and the expo/pass was on his cell phone texting which is cross contamination of food items on expo and hard to watch as a high paying consumer. Sitting at a table facing the bar, the bartenders were actively drinking from canteen bottles and cheering on a sports game which took away from our desired quiet dining experience. When returning from the bathroom my napkin was not folded or returned to fine dining standards. We ordered cocktails at first and our wine glasses were not removed. The first course was poached scallops which were delicious with good presentation but a clear lack of citrus and a clear zest of lemon or lime would’ve been perfect. Pork Boa bun was delicious but the immense toppings on top did not fulfill the flavor and took away from the desire of it. The pork buns were sitting next to a bed of raw undressed lettuce. Filling a plate instead of using a smaller plate is the way to go. The New York strip ordered was charred and chewy. Ordered at medium it came out medium well. The chewiness was intense. The filet was okay but clearly no finishing salt was used and we had to pay an extra $5 for the good butter. The olive oil cake for dessert covered in sugar juice ruined it.

   The food was phenomenal as always. Our server, Wilder, was fun and very attentive. The best steakhouse in the Franklin area and it’s not even close.

    I had a really lovely time at Cork & Cow for my girlfriend’s special birthday dinner. Mike was our server, and he was so kind! We had requested name cards in the reservation notes, and the team made sure to have them ready, which was much appreciated. The attention to detail here is incredible, and the service was an 11/10—truly above and beyond. The filet and lamb chops were perfectly cooked and absolutely wonderful, and the chimichurri was spot on. On the other hand, the brussels sprouts, mushrooms, and broccolini lacked seasoning, which was a little disappointing. I didn’t try the ribeye, but from a discussion after dinner, they said it tasted great but the fat cap could have been better rendered, as it was gristly and chewy. As for drinks, two Old Fashioneds were ordered. One was described as fantastic, a solid 9/10, (10 being the best old fashioned they’ve had), while the other felt like it had an artificial pear taste for their seasonal variation. Still, it was a fantastic evening, and we’ll definitely be back to eat at Cork & Cow again!
