    Excellent starters Excellent sautéed mushrooms. One salmon dinner cold had to be sent back.... COLD Gravy for steak frites COLD Hollandaise sauce was NOT a sauce ...... it was a cold firm dip????? Broccolini was dried out and looked unappetizing on plate...... just spread all over, lying there. A lot of employees standing in corner looking busy, instead of helping get dinner out hot.... especially since there was a lady standing on elevated stand organizing them!
    The Cork 1794Responded on April 8, 2025
    Douglas, thanks for the candid feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the starters and mushrooms. Your experience matters to us, and we hope you'll give us another shot soon.
