Parking was plentiful on the street. Venue seems to be a wine bar with an open kitchen. Opted for a table with a view of the open kitchen. Staff throughout the evening was excellent. Started off with the seared Maitake Mushroom and it was tasty. It was served over a bed of aioli and topped with some cilantro. The venison was a special and requested medium rare. It came out towards a medium. Venison tends to be extremely lean. This dish was served perfectly with beets and squash. Ended the meal with a dark chocolate pie which was also excellent. Presentation was fantastic and the pie was super fresh. Portions were generous and perfect for sharing! $79/head after tax, gratuity and 3% credit card surcharge

It's a great environment with a lot of good drink options. I always opt for the Parker rolls which are tasty but again expensive for the amount you get, I typically order the trout (which until coming here I didn't realize was essentially the same as salmon). It's very good and the potato pancake is a nice touch. Over my visits I've also enjoyed trying the short rib gnocchi, butter chicken, and brussels. They also have a small party room which I have attended an event in before which is always a nice touch. It's secluded and of course much quieter than their main dining area which can get pretty loud!

We'd like to come and try more of the appetizers next time.

However, it was still a little chilly when we stopped by so we hung out in the main area. Nice vibes - cute decor, music and lighting. They have different menus in person compared to online, but it was comparable. The staff were friendly and stopped by often checking in if we needed anything and refilling water. They also let us split checks which was great. Prices were what I'd expect but might be worth it to split a bottle than having a few glasses. Heard the martini was kind of basic - maybe stick to the wine. Would stop back but would probably stop in sooner if they offer weekday happy hour or something.

While they offer a great selection of wines, they also serve delicious craft cocktails for those who aren't wine drinkers, making it a spot everyone can enjoy. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a comfortable and inviting experience from the moment you walk in. I also love how involved they are in the community, hosting fun events like Pride Week celebrations and singles mixers that bring people together. The ambiance is always on point, and on select nights, a live DJ adds the perfect energy to an already great vibe. Whether you're looking for a casual evening out, a social event, or a place to enjoy drinks with friends, Cork Wine Bar delivers. Highly recommend!

My friend ordered the rigatoni with stewed peppers and pork shoulder confit and it was a hit, too! For apps, we ordered the focaccia (duh), shishito peppers with onion and tomatoes topped with pesto, and the cutest little deviled egg I've ever seen (topped with chorizo). I highly recommend them all! Finally, there is always room for dessert and we shared a panna cotta with blueberry compote and golden brown crumbles.

Our appetizers included the focaccia which was buttery & warm with the perfect amount of flavor, the goat cheese crostone with a great crunch & loved the honey, the deviled eggs were amazing & the insalata with tomatoes & peaches were so fresh that you could tell it was sourced locally. For our main meal, we decided to try four different pastas & they were all incredible in their own way. The fresh pasta was so well made & the flavors were mouthwatering. My favorite was either the trofie with sweet corn or the ricotta filled girasole. Every single one was perfect & I wish I could eat there every night! The service was incredible & the love that fills the restaurant is so evident. We are all proud dog moms & each member of the staff came by our table to greet us with a loving photo of their dog/cat.
