All time favorite place in the CSRA. Amazing service and phenomenal food. & the atmosphere is everything!

Great place. Great food. Best dining acceptance i can imagine. Ambiance amazing. Service divine.

I took my wife her last night and it was amazing. The food was great. The drinks are great and the staff was amazing. Our server Rhyan was very observant, attentive, and polite. She seemed to know a fair amount when it came to the food and drinks. We will definitely be returning read more

I was initially going to give it 3 stars, but we felt sick after coming back home. Possibly due to the drink with white egg mixed - wouldn't recommend it. Food was 4/5. Overall decent taste. It took a while to get food. Service was 1/5. Check in was east and waiter was helpful...but the service was super slow. It took over 30mins to get food between each of the 3 courses, and dessert took the longest - over 45mins. It was two of us, and we spent 3 hrs in the restaurant. read more

Do yourself a favor and visit Cork & Flame! It's a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing drinks, food and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. Love this place and will continue to visit. read more

The food was outstanding! The staff was amazing and very professional! I would highly recommend this place.

We had such a great time here!! The wait staff was amazing...the restaurant is still working out some opening kinks, but everyone is busting their lil butts, so you can't NOT exercise patience on the few things that have a "wait." My husband and I were celebrating a promotion tonight and opted to sit at the high-top bar seating. Our servers name started with a B (forgive me, I can't remember) but she was great and was also busting out drinks left and right. Katelynn stopped by to have a nice conversation with us and was so very helpful! We got the chance to talk to Manny from the kitchen and were so impressed by everything that came to our table. We had the pakora, hummus, artichokes, olives, and tamales and OMG...nothing disappointed. Next on the list is that tempting mushroom Wellington! Dining out in Georgia as vegans is not always easy, but we felt so at home here and didn't want for anything. I am SO thankful for this restaurant offering a thoughtful vegan-friendly and hearty vegetarian menu. This was so greatly needed. We will be back again and again!! read more

My mother and I went to Cork and Flame for a celebration dinner tonight. When you first enter, you go in through the associated wine shop which looks awesome and expansive (will definitely be coming back to explore). We were promptly seated and greeted by our server. We started the meal with smoked trout and caesar salad. The smoked trout was a little salty but well balanced by the accompanying kale salad and mustard--would probably order again. The caesar was delicious; the parmesan tuile with it was exceptionally good. For entrees, we had the filet/lobster and the pork chop. My pork chop was very tender, expertly cooked and topped with delicious butter beans (though billed as field peas). It was accompanied by one of the best creamed corn I've ever had--large fresh kernels in a rich cream. My mother had the filet and lobster which was equally delicious. Will definitely be returning. read more

Enjoyed the dining experience and the food was great! The place has a nice ambiance, but it is small inside the establishment. The service was nice and it was an upscale dining treat! I would go back again. It was expensive and the portions were considerably smaller. I suppose that was the only caveat to the place. read more

I took my sister here tonight on a whim! We were seated and Jack was our waiter. HE WAS AWESOME!!! He was so polite, helpful, and knew the menu very well! He made us laugh the whole time. The ambiance of this restaurant is amazing, as well as the food! Everything was delicious. The head chef came by to ask how our food was and he was super nice as well!!! Don't miss out!!! read more

My husband and I were excited to dine here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We left incredibly disappointed and will never return or recommend. Here are some of the issues we encountered during our visit. Raclette appetizer was brought out cold and congealed. Very unpleasant to eat, but the dish would have had promise if it was hot. Chorizo stuffed dates were very yummy, the highlight of the meal. Our other starter was the harissa carrots. They were under-roasted, practically raw, which means that the delicious sweetness brought out by properly roasting the carrots was missing. The dish also came with NO harissa sauce . It was basically raw carrots and yogurt dip. When I brought up to our waiter that the carrots were missing the harissa (obvious because harissa is bright red,) he argued with me and assured me it was there. I then requested a bit more harissa on the side and it was brought out. Once he brought out the harissa, I asked him where it would be on the carrot dish in front of me and then he admitted that it looked like the chef had left it off originally. He comped the dish. We ate it with the additional sauce and added salt because it was under/not seasoned. For our mains, my husband had the venison. Cooked very well but too sweet, we added salt to that as well and, when properly seasoned, delicious. My vadouvan shrimp came out undercooked. Grey, slimy, cold shrimp tossed in the curry sauce. Burned inedible flatbread on the side. Unpleasant and disgusting. I asked to waiter to take it away and my husband and I just shared the venison. The table next to us was a couple celebrating one of them returning from deployment. They were never served food in the 90 minutes they were there. They left and said they guessed they were just going to drive through McDonald's. I told them they didn't miss anything and at least they probably wouldn't get poisoned at a drive through. Listening around the restaurant, I just heard waiters apologizing left and right. The back room where we were sat has no ambiance, feels like a dark warehouse. Many friends have enjoyed a meal here, but our visit was shockingly disappointing. read more

Love this place. We hosted a work dinner here last night & the team met every accommodation we requested. The wait staff was friendly & attentive. read more

We dine out 2-4 times a month and have often gone to the wine tasting here before going out to eat. We were excited to try this new place but it probably won't make it into our regular rotation. We had reservations for 2 of us at 5:45 but arrived at 5:20. There were only 2 tables in the entire place with people seated but they said we would have to wait until our reservation time. We were perplexed when we were finally seated at 5:45 at table for 10! First, that table was empty when we arrived 25 minutes earlier. Secondly it felt like we were stood up by friends sitting at such huge table alone. Thirdly, they tried to place another couple next to us and they said no, that made us feel very awkward. Drink orders, again awkward. Water is served room temperature. I ordered a cocktail special, a watermelon strawberry kiwi spritzer. When I first took a sip it was straight seltzer water. I had to ask for a stir stick. Once stirred it tasted pretty good but the strawberries were rotten. I also had to ask to get more water later on as it was not automatic. Food choices do not match the pictures on yelp and the place has only been open a few weeks. There were no tapas or she-crab soup. We ordered the lolly pop appetizers. Both the beef and lamb were delicious. We then had the coconut curry seafood and rib eye with broccoli. Both meals were absolutely fabulous. We had a dessert. I can not remember the name as there is not a dessert menu. After dessert it took a relatively long time to get our check and for the waitress to return with our receipt. For the quality of the food the prices are decent. For us, we don't enjoy sitting next to people we don't know, don't enjoy warm water and I would not order another cocktail there ever. read more

I travel with my job and I have eaten all over the country. Cork and Flame is easily one of the best meals I have ever had! Mad props to the Chef and what a fabulous team that takes care of you. I highly recommend the tasting menu and if you enjoy wine - get the pairing. read more

A hidden gem in Augusta! I recommend anyone out of town visiting to come here because it changed my visit here for the best. Aaron at the bar is very friendly and makes the best drinks! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and I highly recommend queens gambit drink. For food, I'm vegetarian and they have an entire vegetarian menu with the risotto being on of the best dishes I've ever had. We enjoyed multiple appetizers with pallet cleansers in between courses. My boyfriend enjoyed a 3 choice game plate that he was hesitant to order but had no regrets. The English pudding dessert is incredible and I would highly recommend read more

Went for a date night with my husband. The service was good. Dining area was kind of small since there's a wine shop in there too. The food was decent and drinks were ok. They didn't have wine by the bottle so we had to pay for each glass which ends up being pricey. Overall, we weren't too impressed. Thought it would be nice because it's in Evans, but might as well go to Augusta and get something better for less price. read more

Always elegant and always great food. No matter where you choose - outside, wine shop, or dining room. Love this experience!

Even when you come and the restaurant is empty, they make you wait 10-15 to sit down at the empty table right where you been standing the whole time. They do it all the time and it makes no sense. And just look at you when you ask them why. read more

The Chilean Sea Bass special during Masters Weekend 2021 was the best fish I've ever eaten. Prepared beautifully and cooked perfectly. Huge shout out to our server Matthew, incredibly professional and knowledgeable of not only the menu but the wines to pair with our meal. Genuine gentleman. Highly recommend Cork and Flame! Rate it 11 out 10 and we will be back! read more

We had a great night. We went for our anniversary! They greeted us with flutes of champagne. We did the 4 course dinner and every dish had unique flavor and was super tasty. I had the elk which was tender and perfect. Chorizo stuffed dates were incredibly flavorful. We loved the details of the dinner from palate cleansers in between dishes to the after dinner mint cotton candy on eucalyptus. Great wine selection too. Our waiter Chris was super knowledgeable of the menu and had great recs! read more

The evening was absolutely PERFECT. Ryan the sommelier chose a perfect wine for us. My partner loves sweet wine and I don't like sweet wine at all. And was able to choose a wine that complemented both of us and paired absolutely phenomenal with the food. The service provided by Peyton!!! He is a rockstar. One of the top experiences I've had in my life. Impeccable timing with service! Great suggestions very polite. The food was out of this world! Some of the best risotto I've ever had. The chef was very accommodating to my dietary restriction of being pescatarian. Your team is definitely top notch and we will be back! Thank you for everything. read more

My husband and I chose to celebrate our 25th anniversary here, and I must say, it was simply amazing. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect. The food was great, and the experience was even better! Our server, Jack, was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. If you're looking for a fine dining experience, please give Cork & Flame a try! read more

I'm not from Augusta and only came here because my boyfriend's friends invited us. And I'm so glad we went! We went for a wine tasting in the more casual area, got apps, and dinner. Food selection was so unique but it helped me try something out of my comfort zone-- so delicious! I'll sadly probably never go there again, but I recommend it for a date night or group of friends! read more

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. This is a must try experience in Augusta. The wine selection is top notch and the food is even better. read more

Best place to eat in the Augusta GA area!! I highly recommend getting the Bison!! The food, service and atmosphere were all very top shelf.

Always great food in a classy atmosphere ! Great selection of wines . Experienced waiters that makes your dinner experience an unforgetable one ! read more

The chef has great talent and both times we've dined there we left feeling like we didn't just eat dinner, but had a culinary experience! The pakoras were superb. We tried a few different items on the menu and we weren't disappointed! Plus, chef made accommodations for my allergy. If you don't see a wine that you want, there is a great wine store next door attached to the restaurant. They offer the tapas menu there. Love the restaurant. Love the wine store. Fan read more

This was our second visit to Cork and Flame and it did not disappoint. Every course we had was excellent. The ossobucco was out of this world, the kangaroo plate had changed a bit since last time, but was still delicious. The King Salmon was also changed from last time, but it too was perfect. The drinks were excellent as were the desserts (lemon blueberry crumble, sticky toffee pudding). And as usual, the service was top notch. Cork and Flame has become our special occasion destination! Will always recommend to anyone and everyone. Cheers! read more

Well, if you go during Masters week be prepared to be hustled. First they send you to whiskey tasting and mumble $90 tastes. Then they have "special" Masters menu. Oh boy, get ready to pay. While the food was fine, the service was slow. Avoid at all costs, literally. read more

In Augusta, this restaurant is as close as you get to 5 stars on Yelp. I have been there multiple times and have enjoyed an array of dishes, from the old standby, filet mignon, to one of my favorites, the elk. They have great salmon, mussels, scallops and my son enjoys their chicken. If you are feeling adventurous, this is definitely the place to try kangaroos or venison. They do such a good job of with making game meats... not taste like game. I don't know how else to say it. The salads are good, they have vegetarian options and then desserts are difficult to refuse. My favorite dessert is the sticky toffee pudding. They have the most impressive wine list (outside of the Augusta National or Sage Valley Country Club). And the wines are reasonably priced, which is unusual for a restaurant of this caliber. I cannot recommend any Augusta area restaurant any more than I would recommend Cork and Flame! read more

We had the pleasure of dining at Cork and Flame last night and were overwhelmingly surprised by how good it was. Starting with our server Allison who we learned just started that day. She was so nice and made very good recommendations. She was attentive and a good sport about all of my husband's jokes. The food was outstanding and the presentation was very nice. In between each course they presented us will palate cleansers which were outstanding. After dessert which was delicious, Allison brought us a serving of cotton candy and ginger cookies. What a nice way to end our meal! Next time we are in Augusta we will definitely be returning for another meal. read more

First visit. Great fine dining ambiance. Food...not impressed. We ordered the wedge, beef cheek, ribeye( with paired sides from the chef) and asparagus, dessert and coffee. Let me say this in fairness to the Chef...I am a Southern Girl and I require a little more seasoning on my food. This is French cuisine and our entrées lacked seasoning. My husband said the two beef cheeks that he received tasted like roasted beef. My husband said this is why he doesn't like "pretty" food... lol! The drip coffee was horrible. The only thing we liked was the salad, asparagus and dessert. Needless to say, we paid $109 for a meal that was not not to our liking. I don't mind paying $$$$ for GOOD food... bad food, nah. So we're in the drive-through at McDonald's... geesh. #prettyfoodisnotseasoned #stillhungry read more

Cork and Flame is a welcome date night restaurant. We made a same day reservation and arrived a few minutes early. Our table wasn't ready, so we perused the wine shop and wine bar. We were escorted to our table shortly after and our night began. Our server was very enthusiastic about making sure we had a great dining experience. We both had the vegetarian tasting menu...let me say that again in all caps, VEGETARIAN TASTING MENU. Where else in Augusta serves a vegetarian tasting menu with wine pairings?! Loved this option and took advantage. The menu changes frequently but I will say I absolutely loved the brioche with lemon truffle butter, Mediterranean salad, jackfruit bbq sliders and mushroom Wellington. The chosen wines paired perfectly. We also had peach cobbler and apple pie with cappuccinos for dessert. Oh my... everything was delicious. To top it off Chef Justin came over and introduced himself. After a short but pleasant conversation, I am adding this spot to my favorites list immediately and joining the newsletter. It's so worth the drive from Aiken to frequent Cork and Flame. If I lived closer this would definitely be a frequent dining option. read more

Ok, I did it again. I've never been disappointed with the foods or drinks. This time I took my husband, daughter in law and son for dinner. This is my daughter in law's favorite and mines too we are from Illinois and it's always a treat to visit Cork and Flames. The menu changed up but it was still delicious. My mouth was watering for the bison short ribs but they were not on the menu. So we started off with the best lemon drop martinis. I don't even like lemon but I wanted to try it, DELICIOUS! For appetizers we had the Brussels sprouts and smoked kangaroo and I have to say it was delicious. The kangaroo sort taste like cornbeef. Time for a pallet cleanse with a lemon sorbet served on a white spoon. My first post I said I have celiac so I was accommodated very well by the chef. Now for the entree!!!! I had the scallops and my family has the ribeyes. There was nothing left on the plates. So so good...Everything was fresh and great taste of the food. Five stars aren't enough... Oh, you do not get a massive amount of food but the experience is trying different foods. You will absolutely get full. The gluten free bread is delicious and my family loved the rolls. read more

I was surprised by the location in a strip mall....However what a pleasant surprise! The atmosphere was light and jovial. The air was pleasant with yummy flavors but no too over powering for the small space. There is room for large dining party though my party sat at the bar. I'm sure reserved seating could be established if a call early was made. A nice wine menu but I was most impressed by the cocktail service. Fresh ingredients and a knowledgeable staff with pristine execution. The food was very good to say the very least though I didn't care for the potatoes purée it was made up by the delicious mussels in a curry sauce. My filet was cooked to total perfection. I was very pleased. I also liked to choice between the al la carte menu. I can't wait to take my husband. read more

I will keep this review as short as possible because it could go on for far too long! My wife and I and our two children are from England and are staying in Evans with friends for the holidays and couldn't wait to return to Cork and Flame as we had eaten a great meal there 2 years ago. We arrived for our reservation for 8 people on time, were seated and orders taken. 1hour and 15 minutes later our starters arrived followed by wine which wasn't chilled so had to wait a further 10 minutes to achieve correct temperature. My wife's food arrived 10 minutes after everybody else's and our daughter's a further 10 minutes later, it was the wrong order so had to wait another 15 to get her food! One of our party asked for bread to eat with his bisque and had to repeatedly ask for it.... by the time it arrived he had eaten his bisque. We ordered 2 more bottles of wine (had to repeatedly ask for it) and again the white wasn't chilled so had to wait. The entrèès didn't come out altogether and some of us had to ask for them again and again wait further. When we complained about the waits we were told there was a chefs table.... so basically they're more important! At the point the servers lost interest in us and became rude and uninterested! We were not offered desserts, coffee or dessert wine! It was clear that they wanted us out of there! The sign of a really bad restaurant is to ask for the check and it arrive a lot faster than the food!!!! We spent more than $800! Non of the staff asked how our experience was and non of them thanked us for dining with them! We had also ordered $900 worth of wine to buy 2 months previously and nobody had a clue about our order. The wine was for Christmas and again we repeatedly tried to contact Cork and Flame to get an answer which only came after repeated emails and phone calls. When we eventually did pick the wine up my wife mentioned to the the wine market manager (previous owner) about the difficulty we experienced with them he said "well you've got the wine now so enjoy it!" I emailed Cork and Flame the day after our dismal dining experience and have had NO reply! That says it all! So the experience we had with the business is; Good food but absolutely shockingly bad service and management that do not care one tiny bit! read more
