For folks who enjoy wine there's an incredible array of options by the glass or bottle at very reasonable prices (if you buy 2 glasses, it's the same price as a whole bottle). For anyone new to wine, they help make it approachable and provide great recommendations. We enjoy the flatbreads and snacks as great accompaniments to the wine, and the live music or large selection of music on vinyl is a great touch! We're rooting for Cork2Glass as a truly differentiated experience - we're tired of the usual chain restaurants and establishments with bad service. Give them a shot!

The service was like being waited on by friends. They were so helpful in explaining everything and, if you're inclined, they're happy to talk about what they've built here together -- Mother, Son, and Daughter-in-Law, all working in harmony to make this place sing. We've tried a number is wines and dishes get. The Pintxos are amazing. The Tapas are totally on point with our favorite being the Albondigas meatballs. And the charcuterie featured really high quality chorizo, Serrano ham, Manchego and Mahon cheeses, almonds, grapes and an amazing quince jelly that's firmer than a standard jelly and quite delicious.

They still have an outstanding wine list. The menu has changed but still contains most of the core items that we have always enjoyed.

Unfortunately after being seated and getting water we received no more service. After 20+ minutes we gave up and left. Such a shame to see a good place go so far downhill

Kork's outdoor seating was protected from the wind and they had powerful heaters that they were more than happy to turn on for us. Christopher was our waiter and he was by far one of the best ones we've ever had. EVER! We bonded on where we all previously lived among other things but even without that, he was fantastic; so knowledgeable and so fun. I love the tasting sizes so you can sample a few before deciding on a full glass, which I did with the Sancerre because it's just so phenomenally delicious. Paired with the Funghi and Brie pizza, it was orgasmic. Christopher sold us on the pizza and I'm so glad he did. It was absolutely scrumptious and very light! Delightfully un-American. We snacked on the heavenly popcorn too. Totally took our time, fully enjoying every bite, sip and bit of conversation. When I went inside to use the loo, I saw how cosy and adorable it was and immediately was already looking forward to going back. Bonus points on the loo rooms by the way - gender neutral! Thank you for a marvelous time, Kork. We'll be back!

It's a deal. Service was great as well. We didn't order any food but some interesting options. This place is certainly worth stopping in while you're downtown shopping.

Fantastic Gem in Downtown Smithville!…read more If you're craving tapas flair with an intimate, cozy vibe, the Front Room is a must-visit. Styled like a Scottish pub--complete with a warm fireplace and plush leather chairs--this bar-tapas hybrid delivers elevated comfort in every sip and bite. Food & Drinks: * The menu is a delightful mix of small plates and satisfying mains. We couldn't get enough of the spinach‑artichoke dip, perfectly crisp pot stickers, and their indulgent boursin cheese spread (gluten free version available). * Their wine list and artisan cocktails are both creative and robust--perfect after a long day. Bonus: their rotating craft beers round it all off nicely. Vibe & Service: * The atmosphere hits the sweet spot--not too rowdy, not too quiet. Great for conversations, group gatherings, or date night. * Staff are relaxed, but attentive--felt like old friends bringing me comfort food and thoughtful pours. Events & Extras: * They frequently host live music--from regional acts to indie favorites--bringing lovely local energy. * Pet‑friendly patio setup is a big plus for dog owners--one reviewer even mentioned the owner greeting their dachshund. Overall: A solid 4.6-4.8 star crowd-pleaser on review sites, and for good reason. The Front Room Wine Bar is the perfect blend of upscale bar meets hometown charm. Whether you're winding down after Saturday shopping, catching local tunes, or just need a cozy spot for wine and chat--this place checks every box. Highly recommended!
