The waitstaff will walk you through how that works your first time. We started with some of the taste & share plates - showing off WI cheese to the out of towners - and then a few people shared some gnocchi and beef tartare while a couple people got burgers. We had maybe 4 bites leftover, and no room for dessert, it was a personal victory. I'm sad I didn't get photos because I love the feel of each unique area that's here. The restaurant is bigger than you think because it's subdivided into smaller rooms. We had a group of 7 for a work event (which meant I kept my phone put away) and were in a cozy little nook in the back by ourselves, I'd never even noticed this little spot. What a fantastic time we had!

It's a great environment with a lot of good drink options. I always opt for the Parker rolls which are tasty but again expensive for the amount you get, I typically order the trout (which until coming here I didn't realize was essentially the same as salmon). It's very good and the potato pancake is a nice touch. Over my visits I've also enjoyed trying the short rib gnocchi, butter chicken, and brussels. They also have a small party room which I have attended an event in before which is always a nice touch. It's secluded and of course much quieter than their main dining area which can get pretty loud!

However, it was still a little chilly when we stopped by so we hung out in the main area. Nice vibes - cute decor, music and lighting. They have different menus in person compared to online, but it was comparable. The staff were friendly and stopped by often checking in if we needed anything and refilling water. They also let us split checks which was great. Prices were what I'd expect but might be worth it to split a bottle than having a few glasses. Heard the martini was kind of basic - maybe stick to the wine. Would stop back but would probably stop in sooner if they offer weekday happy hour or something.

While they offer a great selection of wines, they also serve delicious craft cocktails for those who aren't wine drinkers, making it a spot everyone can enjoy. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a comfortable and inviting experience from the moment you walk in. I also love how involved they are in the community, hosting fun events like Pride Week celebrations and singles mixers that bring people together. The ambiance is always on point, and on select nights, a live DJ adds the perfect energy to an already great vibe. Whether you're looking for a casual evening out, a social event, or a place to enjoy drinks with friends, Cork Wine Bar delivers. Highly recommend!

My partner and I scored a two-spot at the bar on a Saturday to celebrate and we loved it, as always. The service was just as attentive and friendly at the bar as at a table. The atmosphere there is cozy and intimate and feels very European. Bonus - you get a great look at other diners' meals. I've had the tajarin with morels in the past, blessedly, and got one of the final orders available, maybe the last for the night. It's always a revelation in how amazing simple, high quality ingredients can make a meal. The amount of morels is generous as well. He ordered the rigatoni with pork and enjoyed it very much. We started with a cauliflower and broccoli dish that would make anyone a cruciferous vegetable aficionado. I had the always wonderful browned butter bourbon drink and a twist on a Manhattan for dessert. He had the house Affogato and really enjoyed it. This place is always worth the time and the money. It's among my favorites anywhere in the country that I've ever eaten.
