    The charcuterie was not worth $40. Took us an hour to get our charcuterie board. I will not go back.

    TOASTED CIABATTA BREAD Served with Olive Oil
    Kevin G.

    It has been a while since we visited Cork It and I must say they have lost a notch. While the waiter/ waitress were nice enough, they seemed to be duplicating efforts. Our full order was already taken and another waiter came over to ask for our drink order. Not on the same page. Since neither of them told us their name, I have no names to share. We started with the SALTY NUTS Pistachios, Almonds, Cashews, Hazelnuts a tasty treat. Next, the TOASTED CIABATTA BREAD, the bread tasted and felt like it had been out a while but still ok, then we had the LARGE CHARCUTERIE AND CHEESE Prosciutto, Black Pepper Salami, Capicola, Butterkase, Parmigiano Reggiano, Blue Cheese, Crackers, Hummus, Fig Spread, Olives & Cornichons, Crackers we also added some aged gouda. This dish fell short of what we have been accustomed to getting at Cork it. The meats were chewy and the blue cheese was nearly frozen. Not their finest hour for sure. Last we had the ANTEBELLUM Sticky Toffee Cake this is always and was awesome. While we were there, a person at the next table asked the waiter about their lagers and it was clear the waiter knew very little about the beverages they sell. Hope training is headed their way as a wine and beer bar should have employees that know about beer and wine. We will go back but, at the Gainesville location.

    Love the food, service and live music. It's the perfect little spot in Buford to take coworkers after work and relax or for a date night.

    There were out of the devil egg spread for the large charcuterie board but they replaced it with bacon jam and pimento cheese and I was very happy about that offer to make it right.

    My wife and I stopped by after visiting the Suwanee Farmers Market on a Saturday, and we're glad we…read moredid. This is a very cool spot with creative, upscale flavors and excellent presentation. We ordered the bacon biscuit with grits and the avocado toast, and everything was absolutely delicious. The grits were the standout item for me. We learned they are made with locally sourced grits from a North Georgia mill, and the cheese combination created an incredibly creamy texture and rich flavor. The coffee was excellent as well and was served in a large mug that we really appreciated. We also discovered that the coffee is sourced from a small local roaster in Johns Creek, which fits perfectly with the restaurant's commitment to supporting local businesses. The dining area is somewhat small, but there is bar seating and outdoor seating available, which provides additional options. We also found out they have a second location in Johns Creek near our neighborhood, so we'll definitely be giving that one a try soon. Great food, excellent coffee, and a strong commitment to local sourcing make this a place worth visiting. We'll be back! BAM!

Intentions were to purchase FOOD and drinks and they tried to shove all 5 of us into a small table that would barely fit 4. So we asked the waitress if we could combine the tables she goes and get the manager who tells us that this is the norm, that they put 5 people at a table for 4 and it's worked hundreds of times. Poor customer service. He offered free coffee after hearing we wouldn't wait for a bigger table.

Now I understand why their dessert selections were mini indulgences instead of a full dessert entree. For this visit the table ordered crab and shrimp, stuffed mushrooms as well as their avocado toast for appetizers. Each appetizer was so very tasty but I was very impressed by the stuffed mushrooms. They were delicious. The other people in my party, ordered fish dishes, and I ordered the steak and lobster. We all throughly enjoyed our entrees. Everyone ordered one mini indulgence: oatmeal cookie cream, turtle cheesecake and the key lime pie. Those mini indulgences are so good I wish it was a full entree dessert. We will definitely put this restaurant on our date night rotation.

The dining room area only had 4 tables occupied and really quiet, so no issue. Our waitress Krissy did a pretty good job. We started with some table foccacia bread this was cooked perfectly. Other restaurants can learn here, crispy bottom, hint of salt, soft inside, aka perfect. Next we had the calamari, again cooked perfectly crisp outside tender inside, the calabrian chili aioli dipping sauce wow, great flavor. Next she had the oil and garlic pasta with no chicken, it arrived with chicken and they took the chicken off the bill. She enjoyed her meal, very tasty. I had the meatballs and spaghetti and added a side of sausage. I enjoyed my meal as well, the sauce was very tasty. When we left at 730, still not full, the bar seemed busier. We will return. Now back to the reservation comment, we asked the hostess / manager how we could make reservations for future visits, she replied online, I asked her to be more specific, she said their website, so I went to their website, no reservations, we aksed our waitress she had the manager come over to show us, turns out it is not on their website, it is by using "maps", there is a link for reservations, same if you search by "Google Search" there is a link. See my pictures. Now we know amd maybe you as well.

We came in on a Saturday morning, no one was there. There wasn't anything crazy happening to excuse the long wait for our food. Food was is eh. Nothing out of the ordinary for me. I got the steak and eggs. It comes with some potatoes as well. On the menu, it says "NY Strip Steak" and our waiter even asked if that was okay. They ended up serving us Rib Roast and the waiter came out as they served it to us and said "oh my manager said they changed the cut"....those are two different types of meat/steak and it would have been nice to have the option to change my meal because really, the rib roast was not good at all. It had no flavor to it and it carried a lot of liquid to it that all the liquid fell to the bottom of the bowl and mushed up the potatoes.

We arrived at 12:30 and were seated immediately. The restaurant was not busy but had a steady crowd. I'm not sure of the exact why, but our food arrived at 2:15 p.m. By that time, several diners who arrived after us had eaten and left. One of my friends mentioned her meal was lukewarm. We did speak with a manager, and the individual apologized and sought to make things right, which was much appreciated. I'd love to possibly give them another try--just not sure due to the first experience.

Unfortunately, that excitement disappeared pretty quickly. We waited approximately 10 minutes without being acknowledged. A woman standing behind us who had arrived after we did was approached by the bartender and had her order taken first. I'm not going to speculate about the reason, but sitting there and watching it happen certainly didn't make us feel welcome. At that point I decided not to order anything because I already had doubts about staying. My wife ordered a glass of white wine that was supposed to be a 6 oz pour. When it arrived, we both questioned the amount. I even noticed other glasses of wine at a nearby table that appeared to have considerably larger pours. I've included a photo so people can judge for themselves. We weren't looking for special treatment because it was our anniversary. We simply expected the same basic level of acknowledgement and service as everyone else. It's unfortunate because we came in genuinely excited to try a local place and celebrate together. The atmosphere has potential, but our first impression of the service made us feel like we'd be better off spending our anniversary somewhere else.
