    Their prices keep going up and the portion size keeps getting smaller. It’s a nice place. The food is good, but it’s just getting too expensive to go there for what you get.

    Richard, thanks for your honest feedback. We're always working to balance providing generous portions at a great value. Hopefully you still found the experience enjoyable overall and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

    We’ve dined here many times and have always enjoyed the experience, but unfortunately, tonight was quite disappointing. There was no mention on OpenTable that dinner would be a buffet. Our reservation was at 7:00 PM, but by the time we arrived, most of the food had been picked over, and the buffet was clearly winding down as the restaurant closed at 8:00 PM. This was meant to be a special evening celebrating my son’s graduation, but the service and dining experience fell well short of expectations.

    First time trying the buffet, they did an excellent job. The service was quite good and the food was delicious. We will definitely do the Mother’s Day buffet again next year.

    Mother's Day Buffet started at 9am. Buffet and staff were not prepared for things to begin at 9. Some food on the buffet was cold, as they didn't have the sternos going. Took them to 10 to get things working better. Waiter was attentive. Food better later in the morning. Some staff definitely better then others to handle the hustle and bustle of Mother's day. Not sure they do a lot of buffets. Should probably stick to made to order off the menu.
    The Cork 1794Responded on May 14, 2025
    Steve, thanks so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We sincerely appreciate hearing from our guests as it allows us to identify areas where we can improve. I'm glad you enjoyed the attentive service from your waiter. Your insights are invaluable, and we're grateful for the opportunity to enhance our offerings.

    My husband and I had a 7:45 reservation for dinner last night..we did not have a server come over to us for at least 15-20 minutes..extremely disorganized and chaotic…it took almost an hour to get our appetizers…and after 1 hour and 45 minutes, we still never got our dinner..we had enough and left..so very disappointed!..it would certainly make us think twice about going back.

    First of all it was very busy! But the service was wonderful! Our server Serena was very attentive and was able to answer all our menu questions. Kuddos to the staff for keeping pace with the Mothers Day crowd.
