    Good food. Quick service. No matter the time the service is great. Nice staff (Pedro and Francisco)were awesome. The food is a decent price. My family and I go for the nachos.

    Very clean place. Service was good. Burrito Mexicana was just so so. I would choose something else if we ate here again.

    The food here is always delicious and reasonably priced! I love that they have tamales as well. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

    The food was pretty bland. As if they didn't season it at all. The salsa was just okay.

    I bought a vegetarian taco salad. I'd have feed it to my dog. It was absolutely terrible.

    It will make a turd. Food was nothing to write home about and the portion was not fit for a POW.

    Do they serve horchata here?

    What's their white sauce or sour cream flavoring?

    My wife has given up because every one we've had uses the thick fries and we like the thin fries in our Californias, so now she just orders a carne asada burrito.

    If I were on my deathbed, Cork Wine Bar & Bistro would be the restaurant I'd choose for my last…read moremeal, that's how incredible it is. Growing up in the South, I've had my fill of the same kinds of restaurants, so finding a place like Cork has been such a breath of fresh air. Cork is truly special for New Bern. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, the service is consistently exceptional, and the hospitality makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The wine list is carefully curated, with perfect pairings for every appetizer and entrée, making the entire dining experience unforgettable. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an amazing meal, Cork Wine Bar & Bistro is a place you'll want to come back to again and again. New Bern is lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber.

I went because that sounded really good. Pro Tip: They only sell lobster rolls on Sunday. It appears food cost are rising and the orders don't fully justify the expense in the customers eyes. The menu still looked good so I stayed. Olivia was my server and she was great. Super knowledgeable about the menu with great suggestions. I wanted the brussel sprouts but was a little reluctant because of the beets. She said it was good and give it a try. I glad I did what a treat. The brussels were lightly fried. The real treat was the flavor profile. The bitterness of the brussels, pickled sweetness of the beets, creaminess of the goat cheese with the crunch of the pecans....wow. So good and it was lightly dressed with the pickling liquid. I went with the jerk salmon for the entree. The salmon was cooked perfect and had a nice crust on it. It was served with a citrus (mango forward) salsa on top of jasmine coconut rice. It is all a great idea and the combo was good. Only feedback was the red bell peppers seemed out of place and took away from the dish and the jasmine rice was a little too bland. I could taste the hint of coconut which was good but some seasoning or a touch of salt on the rice would have paired great with the salmon and orange glaze. Over a gem in New Bern with great service.

The food was pretty good. I started with the tortellini soup and had the French toast from the Brunch menu. For drinks, I tried the pineapple mimosa, but it was warm, which really affected the flavor. I also ordered an espresso martini, and unfortunately it had an artificial taste that I would not recommend, especially for the price. One issue we ran into was the number of flies around our table. Even though we were seated inside, there were several constantly circling, and one ended up landing in my water. Our waitress tried to help, but the problem continued. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the service, but I would come back for the food only and not for the drinks.
