    I used to go here when I lived in the area and it was amazing! Going here today was a terrible experience. Service was awful, food was not worth the price at all. Very disappointed.

    Upstairs dining room, led us a creaky old stair case that I wasn’t sure we could get back down. Three out of four diners were served cold , the fourth was a peach salad that was missing the candied nuts as advertised. Offered a free drink, got one martini, I was drinking Basil Hayden bourbon, rocks got a something and coke for for my freebie. Felt rushed from appetizers to entrees. No ask for desert or coffees. Worst experience at any of the six Friedman restaurants so far visited on Friedman’s passport program.

    My husband went in for our Anniversary. I had the best Dirty Bleu martini made by Caroline! We enjoyed the Kobe Meatloaf and the Shrimp and Crab Bolognese. Both dishes were fantastic. We finished our meal with the Creme Brule which I highly recommend anytime! A+++

    Very good experience at Cork. Been here a few times in years prior, wasn’t as good as this time around. Must of been the clam special, Manhattans we ordered or the pork filet. Would recommend that! Service was very good, had all the things we needed & no unnecessary table visits or interruptions. Can tell the servers were experienced and not hovering. I’d recommend Cork for most any occasion as they have room upstairs and out back with covered igloos. We sat inside & felt comfortable.
