Have been here a few times surprisingly seated in different areas each time: small private room (seats 10-12) , dining area (where there is live music on certain nights), and a large covered outdoor area. Very high ceilings. Large bar area that is connected to the patio. The service has always been great. The staff are very personable and food is fresh & flavorful. You have to try the self serving wine area. You load a card with X amount of money and swipe when you want to try a wine. It adds up quickly!, but is so much fun ;) read more

We were brought here by friends who recently moved into the area. Honestly, we loved it. For food, we only tried appetizers and dessert- a charcuterie board, pork belly, sliders and the croquettes. Everything was delicious. The dessert, a bread pudding was good, but I found the actual bread pudding a little dense (still tasty). The service, provided by Steph, was excellent and the ambiance was also very nice. The star of the show here is the wine and beer selections. They have a cool set up where you can try as little it as much of any of their selections as you desire. We aren't up in this area much but will make it a point to visit again when we get the chance. read more

I always drive by this sign and finally stopped in. I was lucky because I came in at 5:30 and they have a weekly happy hour from 4-6. They have drinks you can order from the menu but they also have a self serve win machine. You add your card to a tab and then you can get various oz pours of wine. Not all wine is on happy hour, but the ones that you can choose from are 1/2 price! They also have $10 cocktails and apps from $10-12 on happy hour. While I did like the portions, one thing that sort of turned me off was that sliders on the normal menu come with 3 but on happy hour, comes with 2. The happy menu bites were also not on the regular menu. So while I was happy with the food choices, it almost seemed like less of a discounted price and more an alternative menu they can make cheaper if that makes sense. However, I would definitely come back again to try their regular menu and drinks. read more

Curious for a great time.....(I couldn't help myself ). Then Curious Cork Wine & Provisions is definitely worth a visit. There is no shortage of friendly and knowledgeable service. Lovely indoor space with a nice size bar and a quaint outdoor area. They even have a private room for private gatherings. Now let's talk about the self pour wine & beer wall. Your server will give you the option for a wine card so you can buy by the ounce or you can enjoy them at the table by the glass along with other cocktails. The food is a draw, they have tapa style and entree's. We enjoyed everything we ate. .....And let me not forget they have a Cork Club and Happy Hour. This was definitely a great time, Cheers! read more

Most recently visited with family because I genuinely love this place. We ordered a charcuterie board that was quite pricey and poorly put together, truthfully disappointing and looked like everything was literally just throw on the board. The wine options were okay, some options were out and the price ranges are a bit on the higher side now. Expect to easily spend over $100 here for a light amount of food and drinks, Lake Nona pricing truly. Service is excellent but the quality of food has sadly gone down. read more

Always love the atmosphere. When they have live music, like tonight, it's an even better experience. Shannone is an awesome bartender+ and Bo is a great sommelier, his pairings and suggestions always on point. Love them both!

We came here to try the wine. They have a wine selection where you can pay by the glass, which is very unique. It's kind of like the wine room in Winter Park. They also have a walk-up bar. You can sit in order food and they have a dining room where you can dine in and order we got the charcuterie board, which was excellent came with a lot of variety of cheeses and meats. We also got the olives, which were really good for our drinks. We tried the rosé on the top, which was really good from France, and we also ordered the lavender mocktail, which was very floral and light and refreshing. If it's your first time dining with them, they give you a treat at the end of the meal today we got a chocolate chip cookie, which wasn't a nice touch. For dessert we also got two scoops of gelato, pistachio, and strawberry. The gelato was super smooth and delicious. Will be back again to try more food and wines. read more

We were a group of 10 people and we were put in the private room which was great! The server was fabulous and attentive. Even the owner stopped in to say hi and see how our experience was. The food was very good. I wanted more of a non ground mustard beer cheese with the pretzel, but oh well. The Brussels were yummy. The toast that came with the meatballs was about more toasted than I like. I do not know much about wines except I like a reisling and there is no reason to have a 0% alcohol reisling. The card concept is neat, but I don't care to pay $3 to try 1 oz for something I don't like. I also would have liked true liquor, like Tito's. Other than that this place is neat. read more

Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 So much fun!! We went on a Wednesday and they had a violinist on site so the vibes were on point. It was also an experience in that you have the option to try multiple pours before selecting a bottle. This was a great way to taste test any number of wines. The food was also solid. We focused on shareable items for this evening but it made it clear that I will be returning to try the entrees. The fish dip and mussels are a must have! The pimiento dip is a stronger flavor so this is really only for those who enjoy that flavor palate. Our waiter (I failed because I didn't write his name down) was fun and definitely added to the experience. Can't wait to go back! read more

Had such a fun time here!! I absolutely loved getting to try a variety of different wines from all over. The system was super easy to use and the variety of wine from the walls was incredible.

Curious Cork - Wine Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Had a nice experience here with a group of friends. The establishment was clean and it had a good vibe. Charcuterie was ok. I didn't like the meats very much and that was surprising bc I love charcuterie boards. The meatballs were a hit with the group. I truly enjoyed the lobster rolls. They had a dip trio and we were split about how much we liked it. It was nice that they had beautiful live music, but it was so loud it made conversation a little difficult. The service was slightly inconsistent. I felt like we had to keep asking for things because we weren't being checked on regularly. Overall it was pretty good, but the service misses is why I gave them a 4 and not a 5. read more

Absolutely wonderful experience! The food was excellent, beautifully prepared, great portions and our server Kenzie was outstanding. Attentive, professional, and welcoming from start to finish. They offer a full drink menu with plenty of options. I especially loved their Enomatic wine machines, which offer a wonderful selection of wines by the glass and allows you to explore different options. A beautiful experience for any wine lover. You can really tell the owner really cares about his staff and guest experience. Definitely a place we would happily return to! read more

This was my second time visiting Curious Cork, and it was just as good as the first time. I had the same server, Vanessa, who is amazing. This time we started with the burger sliders, delicious (but only brings 3), we had the small charcuterie board, lots of wine (they have happy hour deals during the week from 4:00-6::00). We had the gelato trio for dessert (cookies and cream, raspberry, dark chocolate). read more

I attended Curious Cork on a special preview night for guests who made reservations. There were two of us that went and we arrived at 6:13pm for a 6:30pm reservation. We arrived and were greeted very warmly by the managers who held the door open for us as we walked in. I said hi to the hostess first and let them know I had a reservation under my name. We told them we were very happy with sitting at the bar and they sat us there. The bar was a little awkward as they had a large portion of it that extends out past the bartenders. I felt bad but our amazing bartender, Samantha, came all the way over to us to take our orders and explain how the process worked. She was absolutely phenomenal during the entire time we were there and I am so happy that we got her service! Curious cork works where you have a card and put it into the machines to get a sample of either beer or wine. I decided to start with wine and when I received my glass I was able to go get a couple tastings. The prices are okay. I tried three samples (1 oz samples) for around $2-$3 per sample. It gave me the opportunity to try some of the red wines and they were very good! My boyfriend tried the beer and their prices per oz. ranged from $.45 to $.95 which is typically for a specialty beer that is not domestic. This special event offered complimentary dishes (1 per person) and we ordered the meatballs and the lobster rolls. Both dishes were just okay, nothing wowed us as far as the meatball flavor or lobster flavor. It was really nice of them to offer this to us along with our drinks though. The area to get the beverages from the machines was very close and tight. I think that they could have worked with the layout a little better. I don't think they accounted for the amount of people that could be back there at one point. The beer also came out really foamy so I think that there are some kinks to work out there as well. We spent about $35 for our wine and beer samples which I think was very reasonable. The entire staff was very nice, you could tell that they were new and working out some of the machines. For example, I asked a staff member a question that she didnt know and a customer answered on her behalf as she was able to figure it out. But all staff members were very nice. Samantha was awesome and I would be willing to get some drinks there again in the future! read more

So excited this place is finally open after I've been eyeing this site every time I drive by for the better part of the past year. Was able to join in for opening night--the place was bustling and a reservation was definitely needed--will recommended at least for now while the opening hype is still there. The decor is beautiful and full of natural wood tones, almost Japandi vibes. They have 64 wines on tap and 18 beers along an "L" configuration along the wall. The beers on one arm of the L and the wines on the other. Since there are more wines featured there are two additional columns that encase half the wines sitting in front of the wine arm of said L. Our server, Shiloh, was very informative and had good wine recommendations, and kept us entertained with conversation throughout the evening. One of the co-owners Bob also stopped by to greet all the guests. My companion and I tried several wines each and were genuinely impressed by the taste of everything from reds to roses and white. There was a good range of prices on the wines as well. I do love that they can dispense a 1 oz pour since sometimes that's all I'm in the mood for. It was pretty seamless to just swipe your card and select your wine and pour, with everything being tabulated for the final check. My only gripe is that the wines being on both sides of the columns disrupted the traffic flow at times, especially when bottles needed to be changed out (done by flipping down the glass panel like an oven door). Did not try the beers as I am not a beer girlie but it is nice to have the option. In addition to the wine we tried we ordered some bites to share: the dip trio and the margherita flatbread. They were great, especially the whitefish dip, although the first set of pita we ordered was a little cold and stale. However, when we requested additional pita ($1 charge) we got was warm and soft. Due to some of the flow issues I probably wouldn't want to come back during a really busy time, but I am looking forward to visiting on a slower, tame night. Truly a great addition to the Lake Nona area that adds something new and unique! read more

WOW! The concept of this restaurant is spectacular. The service was great. The food was excellent. We made reservations and I recommend you make some as well because it gets packed! For the appetizer we ordered the flatbread and we split the charred brussel sprouts and the salmon. Everything was exquisite. I've had Brussel sprouts with bacon plenty of times, but never with a honey mustard sauce. It makes a great pairing. The sauce that comes with the salmon is the standout star of the dish. I could lick the bowl clean. I tried several wines. They have sommeliers to help you find the perfect wine. It was a very pleasant experience. I loved this place and I would definitely come again. read more

We dined on a Friday night and I pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't jam packed. I love their self serve wine bar which gives you the opportunity to try out a variety of wines. They offer 1oz, 6oz and 9oz pours at various prices. We do feel that their prices are reasonable and sommeliers are pretty knowledgeable and available to help you make your selection. I do feel that their food menu needs a little revamping to offer more dinner items instead of just shareable plates but other than that I would recommend as it's a great addition to the Lake Nona area. read more

The food was great as well as the service. Many different types of wine and a few beers to choose from.

Was really looking forward to eating here but was sorely disappointed. Do not eat here if you have to avoid cross contamination. Despite the clearly marked GF items, I was informed that every single dish besides asparagus and broccolini was 100% cross contaminated. Additionally, our non- sensitive friends had issues with their food. Their porkchop came out red and raw and had to be redone (thankfully it was comped after we corrected the server that the GM said it was on the house). I had no reaction to the garlic shrimp with GF bread, but it was not fun learning later in the night that it was at risk of cross-contamination. My partner's chicken dish was not worth $40 - it looked like a small Cornish hen leg and the potatoes were soggy. At least the crème brûlée was delicious and safe, and the prickly pear martini was a 10/10. I would not recommend his place for celiacs whatsoever and it certainly wasn't worth $150 to not eat an entree. Even my gluten-eating friends said they'd never come back. Shoutout to our server Steph who ran back and forth correcting mistakes and informing me of the false GF menu items read more

Very nice ambiance, very clean and easy to park. Our server Steph was very kind, hospitable. The floor manager Vanessa was attentive and always had a friendly smile. We enjoyed our experience of being able to do wine tasting, they give you a card pass and you insert the card and place your wine glass and you can select the amount of ounces you want. Simple! The menu is a small selection but with nice options and reasonable prices. Great for group dining, after work happy hour or a date night. They even have a section just for special events that you can rent out. Wheelchair accessible. read more

This place is such a pleasant surprise. The concept is brilliant and service is top notch. Everything we had to eat I would give five stars.

So I am a huge wine room fan. This place took wine tasting to another level. I went to their opening week. For someone like me who is hyper focused i can tell their were a few kinks to figure out. But BRAVO TO THE STAFF! They handled everything with professionalism. There are great options for wine. You just need to connect your card to your debit card. You do not need to preload. They also have a non alcoholic reisling that was so delicious. The romesco shrimp was fantastic, the garlic wine sauce for the salmon was amazing and light, the bacon jam aoli on the sliders elevated the dish. I loved how the owner and the general manager knew about wine and provided us great options to try. This might be my everyday spot. read more
