    We were grateful that our reservation request to sit toward the back where it’s quieter was honored. We had a pleasant table and were able to carry on conversation. We enjoyed the chopped salad, bourbon chicken and short rib gnocchi, followed by a shared piece of NY style cheesecake. The wine menu is extensive, both by the glass and bottle. Thanks for a nice evening.

    Everything was great. The Greek chicken that they have had on their menu for awhile they took off. That’s one of the reasons we go back. They put a burbon chicken in its place. It was good but not as good as the Greek lemon chicken. Service was wonderful. Our server was very attentive.
    The Cork 1794Responded 3 days ago
    Hey Kris! So glad you had a nice time with us. Sorry to hear the Greek chicken is no longer available - we're always trying to keep things fresh with new menu items. Hope you'll give some of our other tasty dishes a try next visit!

    It was a later lunch on a Thursday, so pretty quiet. Our server, Brandon, was pretty wonderful. Service was flawless, the food was delicious. We wanted to have a long lunch to catch up, and he was so gracious throughout. We never felt rushed. A lovely meal and experience.
    The Cork 1794Responded on November 18, 2024
    Patricia, we're so glad you and your friend had a relaxing catch-up over lunch! Nothing beats good food and warm, attentive service when you want to linger and enjoy quality time together. Hope to see you back soon for another great experience!

    The wife and kids meals were good. My steak was way over cooked and unable to eat. Gave it to the dog.

    Brandon was fantastic! Took great care of us. Food was excellent - easily the best resturant in 50 miles of Erie. Lived in northern Va for 40 years and had access to many great restaurants. So appreciate great food and friendly atmosphere.

    Allen, it's so awesome to hear you had an incredible dining experience! We take immense pride in delivering top-notch hospitality and mouthwatering dishes. Your kind words truly make our day. Looking forward to having you back soon for another memorable meal!
