It's been a year since we were here and of course it did not disappoint. The menu has changed and they took off my crab cakes was very sad indeed but everything was still delectable. Our server Trevor was on point and always cleaning our table and refilling our water. Each dish was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My taste buds were having a party. It was a fate night for us and it was special the whole time for us. We were seated towards the back which was somewhat closed of which wasn't bad and have us more privacy which we liked. Website was beautiful and tranquil. We will continue to come here for special occasions.
Not a first timer. One of my favorite restaurants in Evan's. The service is always amazing and the food is too. Don't pass this gem up.
Cork and Flame is where the FLAME is!! From the atmosphere, food , and service were top notch! Our server was very informative on the food and drinks selection and made sure we had what we need. Their food was amazing and do yourself a favor, ordered their wagyu dumplings, fillet, king salmon, and mouth watering melt in your mouth wild boar! They gave you palate cleanser after each meal and our family LOVED it! They have a wine celar for those wine lovers out there. We came during master (April- Spring Break) and they incorporate one of their ice cream (one of the palate cleanser) with the master theme local fruit special. Our family loved their dessert too and deconstructed apple pie is a must! If only I live close by, this restaurant will definitely be in our repeat place to eat!
Food, Service & Ambiance was 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for upscale dining experience in Augusta. I even got to customize my dish. I got the Elk with the tamarind eggplant which was from a different dish and the glaze paired so well with the wine (Caymus) and the elk over top. I will definitely come back. Spent 400$ but we got 24 oysters, full bottle Caymus, two desserts, 2 appetizers. 2 sets of palate cleansers inbetween courses and 2 main courses. I believe that's a really great deal in my opinion. It was my bf birthday also.
Work Friends chose to have my Birthday dinner and CoWorker's Birthday dinner here. It was a group of 8. Pros: Ambiance is nice, pretty intimate. Customer Service was good. We had reservations and was seated timely. They provided Rosewater warm towels to clean our hands before eating. They also gave us a shot (non alcoholic) of something with pineapple and said it was to prepare our pallet for appetizers. It was really good. We also received a spoon of Raspberry Sorbet to get our pallet ready for dinner. It was also good. Mock-tail/Wine/Cocktails were good per everyone who ordered one. The shrimp appetizer was delicious. The Wedge Salad was delicious. The brick chicken was delicious. The salmon was THE BEST. The Pork Chop was good. The Bison was enjoyable. The Boar was not a hit! The desert was good, from the Deconstructed Apple Pie to the Crème Brûlée. They cleaned out pallet from all the food by providing Cotton Candy- it wasn't overly sweet. Just right to end the night. The cons: Slow Service, but we appreciated food cooked when ordered. Shared Bathroom, I went in after a male who left the seat up- that's crazy when I'm paying almost $100 for dinner. No refill on soda, but we did get refill on Tea. Dinner selection was limited. This was my second visit. My 1st visit was in exactly 2 years ago. I will come back, it's just not a place I will eat on a regular basis! The experience is worth at least one visit!
Reservations: 5 Parking: 5 Customer service: 5 Quality of food: 5 Portion size: 5 Everything was impeccable from start to finish. It was another stop on our year long 30th anniversary year, and Cork & Flame didn't disappoint! If you are looking for a fantastic dining experience and great ambience, this is your place. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and welcoming inside, loved the decor thru out. We where seated with a sparkling glass of wine, this was a sweet surprise. Our waiter was a gem, he made our evening memorable and was very attentive at all times. Our courses came out in a timely manner, all the food was presented well, tasty and prepared with love. Remember they are a fine dining establishment, so the plates aren't large. We enjoyed salmon, the duo with vinixen, bison meals, with squash and rabbit dumpling soup, so yummy! Honestly we were well pleased with the portions and treats along the way. Our evening was indeed one to remember. I forgot to mention that we loved the small plated treats during the evening, we really enjoyed them all! And yes, that's hot Rosemary scented towels before our meal! We will be recommending you all and its a must for us to return in the near future! Tip: make reservations, they do have a large wine bar selections if your not wanting to eat a meal. Thanks to your amazing staff and Happy Holidays!!!
I have been in Augusta for 3 years now and was always wanting to try Cork and Flame but never got to it. When I found out there was going to be a work event here, I was ecstatic. I ordered lobster bisque, bison steak, and chocolate pave for dessert with the Johnny Appleseed seed cocktail. Lobster Bisque (4/5): The lobster bisque was super rich and creamy with just a touch of brandy to lighten the dish. It had decent lobster flavor although I wish it could have had a few more pieces of lobster. My only other thing I would change in this dish would be for them to reduce the salt by a little bit. It was noticeably salty to me and I found myself needing to drink more, although with how much I enjoyed the Johnny Appleseed cocktail, it wasn't a problem. Bison (3.5/5): I ordered this dish as recommended by the waiter. The bison came medium rare along with a little bit of elote with charred corn, cotija and chimichurri overlying it all. The bison was a neat alternative to regular beef steaks. It was noticeably leaner though, making it much more chewy than beef steaks. Unlike the bisque it could have been just slightly saltier as well. The chimichurri added some acidity to it and was refreshing. The elote was a nice pairing. Although I am used to elotes with cream/butter and heavier on the cotija cheese, this had a nice clean taste. Chocolate Pave (5/5): I enjoy desserts that aren't too sweet and, if chocolate flavored, are more bitter and dark. This chocolate pave definitely met those criteria. It felt like they used a very high %cocoa chocolate to make this that was decadent and perfectly bitter. It was like a fancy, not overly sweet fudge. The raspberry sorbet was nice and tangy to balance out the chocolate pave. Overlying the pave, there was a chantilly cream that was lightly torched and this also helped balance out the heavy dark notes of the chocolate pave and added a soft foamy texture as well. Fantastic dessert that I would order again. I enjoyed the Johnny Appleseed cocktail. Refreshing apple and cinnamon flavor that was perfect for late fall/winter. Service was excellent here. Our waiter Thomas was very helpful with any questions we had and was very attentive. With the excellent service, the quaint ambiance, and the solid food options from appetizer to dessert, it's no wonder why cork and flame gets the great reputation it does in Augusta. I would definitely return in the future.
Cork and Flame is the top tier restaurant to come to for a fancy night out on the town. The restaurant itself is a perfect size for an intimate evening and the open kitchen gives you a welcoming feel to see what's going on. Our waiter, Paul, was so incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and specials as well as really created an elevated atmosphere for our dining experience. While the prices are higher for this restaurant (because it's a fancy place so not unheard of) you also get so many little touches with your experience : rose water cloth for your hands before the meal, honey two ways before you get started, raspberry sorbet palette cleanser, and cotton candy at the end which are included with the meal. Paul also made sure to check in at the proper times as well as take the crumbs off the table after every course. Bread was delightful and came with butter on top of pimento cheese spread. I had the market fish which was potato crusted trout, and the other person in my party had the boar ossobuco with risotto (which was off menu but we were so happy it was available). If you can get the boar, GET THE BOAR, I will dream about that boar. We also got the brussels sprouts which just melt in your mouth, they were amazing. We ended the evening with regular coffees, which came in a french press one for each of us, a cute little set up with our own creams and sugar. Overall food was amazing, atmosphere was wonderful, and shoutout to Paul and the chef for a top tier dining experience, it's really nice to have a place like this here in Evan's for special occasions.
I've been here multiple times for special occasions and regular dinners as well as brunch. No matter when I come the service is top notch. To me I think that is what sets it apart as a fine dining restaurant vs an expensive place to eat. Besides that, the food is great. Its one of the best places to eat in Augusta with a menu that changes every so often and has a few creative dishes on there. There are also exotic types of meat available if you choose to try them such as kangaroo and bison, elk, wild boar, just to name a few. My favorite things to get for the current menu right now are the scallops app and wild boar entree. The boar is so tender and the meat literally falls off the bone. You also get a huge portion as well. The honeyed carrots that come with the boar surprisingly stand out in a good way in the dish too. I always make it a point to get dessert here too. As you can see, the desserts are fun and tasty too. I tried the apple (very pretty) with mousse inside, and the deconstructed apple pie as well as the table side s'mores. The s'mores are so fun to have cause you can toast your marshmallow over the mini fire. And lastly I always look forward to the cute cotton candy tree. I am very happy that our town has such a great option for dining and great chef and staff. Looking forward to coming back again.
Celebrating 36 years anniversary today , my wife and I had dinner at Cork and Flame one of our favorite fine dining restaurants. Our waiter was excellent he congratulated us on our anniversary and served several treats in addition to our order (potato soup, lemon sorbet and a cotton candy tree). We started with drinks wine and a Spanish rum old fashion (really good). Our entrees consisted of scallops and I had to try the American Wagu steaks (really good however just a good steak) the exotic salts was a nice touch. The ambiance was romantic which my wife loved. Cork and Flame is one of the best fine dining restaurants in Augusta. read more
The ambiance is intimate and eclectic. The flow of attentive table service was great considering how busy it was. The layers of flavors in every course was impressive. For Cpurse 1 we started with 2 salads; the Strawberry Rhubarb and the Wedge along with the Lobster Tail that was seasoned perfectly. I paired my course 1 with the Oaxacan Old Fashion because I love the blue agave plant. Course 2 followed with an 8 to 10 Oz cut of Bison with diced sweet potatoes, mercerated cherries and the amazing chimichurri sauce that's deliciously mouth watering. My partner had the prime rib that accompanied a chimichurri sauce as well as fingerling potatoes and some sautéed greens. I paired my Bison with a beautiful red blend from Portugal that goes by the name Silk & Spice, I believe. And for the last and 3rd course we did the deconstructed apple pie and I did an unnecessary dessert wine pairing because of the awesome name; Beaumes to the bone =) Everything about the deconstructed apple pie was palette seducing on every level. Considering the name of the dessert puzzled me into curiosity that I could not resist. Our server Paul or John was animated and displayed a thorough knowledge of the menu. Keep up the amazing work front of the house, back of the house, management and the entire team. You got me with the decorative Cassava Bread rolls I tried to buy waiting for my table lOl come to find out they were just decoration =D Other then that we will be back. read more

Completely satisfied with this restaurant. You wouldn't expect the skill and "wow" by looking at the outside, as it is in a plaza. I made a reservation at five-- which is when they open. Got there a little early but was seated as soon as the restaurant side opened. One half is a basically a wine shop, you can buy wine or have a wine tasting on this side. So many menu items I wanted to try, so I went with the 4 course tasting menu! Paul, my waiter, explained everything very well as this had been my first time here. He was very patient as I didn't notify my bank I was traveling and they blocked my card and then had me on hold for fifteen minutes haha so that was very pleasing quality from him. They have a small selection of wines by the glass-- but MAJOR options when considering buying a bottle! 4 course tasting is $60, you choose your four for the tasting. Small portions but still fulfilling- I was full when the third and fourth courses came around. So worth the money. I tried the four peppercorn tuna, lobster bisque, salmon with two ways potatoes, and the s'mores experience. My favorite was the tuna, best the lobster bisque. Tuna was seared perfectly, the ponzu sauce that comes with it is amazing. I wasn't a fan of the chips that come with it--but you really don't need chips to eat tuna. Loved the addition of the pickled beets ! Lobster bisque had a brandy finish and was so good and warmed me up, it was a bit cold inside for me. S'mores was a cool experience. A plate with fire, an actual stick to roast the house made marshmallows. In between meals are cute little complimentary bites, which is a nice touch. The first, for me, was a cheese + lavender honey on a spoon then it was a tiny scoop of raspberry sorbet! There is a dress code... I'm not sure if they regulate as the internet (reservation service) makes it seem, but basically dress nice. It's states no ripped jeans, no beach wear, things of that nature... "business casual attire". I highly suggest reservation. My only complaint would be as far as mask, I was quite shocked as people entering the business, good amount of staff, even management level ppl weren't wearing mask. read more
In fine dining establishments, you always run the risk of graduating beyond an "elevated dining experience" into pretentiousness. Business casual clothing being required to eat in a restaurant serving brunch reads as pretentious to me. Fortunately, it was not enforced on this visit. Fine dining also infers a high level of service. The etiquette piece was covered; however, there was a late greet and appetizer plates were promised, but never delivered. The blue crab Benedict wasn't seasoned well and an item ordered to-go was delivered to the table as if to be eaten there. I say all that to say when you charge fine dining prices and insinuate a certain level of sophistication, sometimes it's the basics that trip you up. read more

Atmosphere was classy but relaxed. Our server (James) was very attentive to my friend's gluten-free needs including checking to verify certain dishes and desserts were gluten-free. The food was AMAZING! I had the Chilean Sea Bass and my friends had the Bone-in New York Strip. I tasted the steak and almost wished I had ordered the steak! We did have the bread service which was to die for! For dessert I had the cheese cake and my friend had the pot de creme. We were both very happy. Between courses, different pallet cleansers were brought out as well. At the end we were given toasted peppermint meringues. I will definitely be back. They even have a chef's table tasting experience. (See photo of the card.) read more
It was great! The atmosphere, the food, the service! Was an impromptu decision to go. Definitely was not what I expected! I thought I was going for a drink and apps, and didn't know anything about this restaurant. What a nice surprise and an amazing experience! read more

This place is amazing! Went here with my family to celebrate my mothers birthday and from beginning to end everything from our service to the ambiance to our food was on point. Making reservations is your best option. We went on a Friday night and it was packed. My table was ready as soon as I gave my name. The hostesses were super sweet. Once my party of 5 was seated out waitress came right away to get our drink orders. She then explained the experience we were about to receive and the specials on the menu. Each course was better than the next! It truly was a eatable fine dining experience! read more

Ambience. A Service. A Food. A Price. A You would never know this restaurant is in a strip mall. Lots of street parking. Reservations are recommended. Special events are reserved base only. Get on their mailing list. A great high end eatery...ok... fine dining I a modern contemporary setting. Love Augusta has this option. Great service and delicious food. They will make it right. Craft cocktails and unique take on cuisines. Seasonal menus. Today I had the vegetarian pad Thai. Let's just say the chef obliged by making my dish VERY spicy. My only take was I have yet to find a Tempeh that I love. One day. I would request this pad Thai with chicken or shrimp next time. The 2 crab cakes filled with crab meat and served with a salsa was absolute delish! Always love my Vesper martini made by Ryan...so smooth and cold! Today was overall good albeit the tempeh. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I went for my bday dinner. And got yhe lobster soup and the mussels. I will say the lobster soup and mussels had a similar sweet sauce . The lobster soup was a little heavy and reminded me more of fall than the spring concept. However, I enjoyed the decor. I would go back again but wouldn't order the same thing. They have a chefs 4 course menu for $60 which I would be willing to try next time I go. With my food I had the blood moon cocktail with the double rye 8.5/10. The arousal is strong but it was a little too floral. I then got the Whiskey sour but it wasn't that good. I think they used too many orange bitters. read more

Came back for dinner and was a little disappointed with my ribeye. Apparently they had a special appetizer where they cut all the caps (aka the best part of the rib-eyes) off. I was expecting a full ribeye like previous but instead got 4 cuts of the lean meat from ribeye steak. wish I had known or would have ordered something else. it may be a while before I decide if I want to try this place again. read more

We visited Cork and Flame for my birthday. We had a reservation, showed up a little early and were seated right on time. Service was prompt and polite. We ordered a beer and a cocktail. Both were very good but, cocktail was a little pricey for size (as expected, $11). We ordered the rabbit schnitzel as a starter - it was great and just enough of a plate for us to share. The entrees we chose were the elk and bison. We ended up sharing these as well. It was all outstanding and on par with what we were expecting from Cork and Flame. The açaí sorbet between courses and the cotton candy at the end of the meal were also great additions. A little over $100 for the two of us - definitely worth it. Overall great meal and I look forward to coming again and trying new things! read more

Would NOT recommend. Food is nothing special at all. We had steak, scallops, wedge salad, bottle of wine, etc. and nothing was great, basic and okay. The deal breaker is that there was a large piece of BROKEN GLASS in one of my dishes, pictured below. Long story short-We came in town from Atlanta for a large dinner party of 18 people celebrating a birthday. The ambiance is beautiful with amazing display of wine selections. Service was great with the unique small dishes to taste and clear your pallet before your meal. My issue came when a large piece of broken class was in one of the sample dishes. It was about 2 inches and luckily I didn't swallow it. Then another person in our party found a small piece in her dish ad well. Insane. I notified the server who informed the manager. The manager apologized and assured me that she would check the rest of the dishes. She comped my meal but never came back. It's not always about removing a charge. I expected an additional check in and words from leadership team. I could have taken things further because I could have been hurt. read more

Hands down one of the best restaurants ever! Executive Chef Justin Hayes has nailed it! From the multiple palette cleansing dishes to the phenomenal desert menu, this place is a must if you are in North Augusta! To start, they bring a cleansing towel out that is compressed until they add hot water to it. The result is photo #1. I ordered the wild boar (photo #2) and my wife ordered the Halibut. The presentation along the way was amazing. We finished with the s'mores desert (photo #3) which you cook table side. And if that wasn't enough, they serve you home made cotton candy (photo #4). And when we finished, we got a photo with Gary Player who happened to be eating there that night (photo #5) read more

This place is such a treat! We usually save this experience for our anniversary because it is a splurge. However, it is well worth it for the experience and ambiance. The food is excellent and so is the service! read more

If you're looking for a place to celebrate a nice occasion- look no further! The ambiance of this place sets the mood, and the professional staff ensure that your experience is exceptional. Enjoy a variety of exotic meats, specially curated dishes, and artisan cocktails with good company. I highly recommend the deconstructed apple pie and s'mores for dessert, try at least one! read more

What an amazing hidden gem in Evans! At first glance you wouldn't expect such a luxurious experience in the CSRA area, instead finding such service and attention to detail in a larger metro area like Savannah or Atlanta, but Cork & Flame is absolutely amazing! Chef Justin Hayes leads an expert team in creating truly unique offerings showcasing a dynamic menu that appeals to diverse paletes. Our dinner party almost could not make up our minds when placing our orders, but everyone was more than satisfied with their choices! All the complimentary additions added to the ambiance and experience that sets Cork & Flame apart from other local restaurants. From all the pictures attached you can see for yourself the incredible presentation for a wide variety of entrees and other plates! One thing we still need to try here is the Winemaker's Dinner they schedule sometimes. Look forward to a review of that in the near future! read more

As stated in my previous review, my then boyfriend (now fiancé!!) & I really loved our first experience here. We came back with our closest friends to celebrate her birthday. We had a reservation for 7 PM, but did not get seated until an hour later. They offered us a bottle of wine while waiting, which we appreciated. After our party finished ordering, we waited so long for our food to arrive. It was so disappointing and embarrassing to have raved so much about this restaurant and have had this awful experience. Our server was polite and very personable, but the whole experience was ruined by the restaurant's poorly managed timing. We arrived about 5 minutes before our reservation time (7PM) and did not leave their establishment until they closed. Sadly, I do not think we will recommend this place to any of our family & friends anymore. read more
