My husband was given an InKind gift card and Red Cork Bistro happens to be the only InKind restaurant that is north of Lynnwood, so we made a reservation for a date night dinner. Don't let the little unassuming restaurant tucked away in a strip mall fool you. The food , service, and ambience is what you'd expect to get from restaurant in a much more upscale area. We started out with drinks, a bright refreshing glass of Riesling for me and an old fashioned for my hubby. For starts, I tried the poblano corn chowder and we also shared the boar and beef meatball small plate. Both were absolutely delicious and were devoured. For entrees I had the wild boar bolognese and my husband had the lemon thyme chicken. The portions, especially the pasta, were generous and the dishes were really well composed. It was an excellent meal with excellent service. I look forward to coming back again. read more

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Red Cork Bistro last Friday night. The place was hopping too! We arrived at 7:30 and got the last 2 seats available in the restaurant. The restaurant has a cozy feel inside - great for date nights. I ordered the salmon, which was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the accompanying rice and carrots were delightful. My husband ordered the Thai Chili Prawn Pasta, which was so flavorful and delicious. My husband is a little spice-wary, but was said the heat was perfect. Our server was kind, funny, and very helpful. And even the chef came by a few times to check on us and our food! Overall, a wonderful experience and we already have plans to return. read more

Red Cork Bistro - Market fish - salmon - Wine Bars Near Me - Mukilteo, Washington

sorry to say I've been coming to the red cork for several years always walked away happy and recommended the restaurant until my most recent visit. I tried the special which was salmon. The bill with the one entrée, one glass of Rose' wine plus a 20% tip was $73. I could not believe it because the salmon was terrible. It was a tiny little piece on a bed of risotto with broccolini. The broccolini was so lemony. I couldn't eat it. The fish was so salty I picked around and did not finish the meal . I came home had a bowl of cereal. I usually stick to the wild boar Bolognese. Big mistake not to order it. I don't know that I'd go back anytime soon after that meaI and I can't really afford to throw away money like that on a very disappointing meal. With that being said the wait staff is always really wonderful and kind. I hate to even write this review but they need to know . With this economy, everyone is being more selective when dining out . read more

I've had a few very good experiences at this place. The food is excellent and the service has been very friendly. Just a great place to have a glass of wine and a meal. Food is elevated and flavors were on point. read more

This restaurant is a local's place. For years Adrian's cuisine had been alluring. Many long time residents have felt this as our local pub. Until the wait -staff took over. Instead of the inviting vibe, the meet the neighbors feel: Red Cork Bistro has gotten judgy. There is a hierarchy amongst the regular patrons (who hug the bar) vs. the drop ins. The reigning Matron seems to have favorites. Ergo, if you're not in with Liz, expect to get slow service, insults and general attitude. And even if you are a big tipper, a steady client -- also expect to get judged. For Whatever She doesn't like about you on any particular day. read more

I always get a to-go order of their chicken parm with pasta and garlic bread and it is delectable! I haven't been inside the restaurant, but my friends/family have and they believe the service is fantastic with a beautiful ambience. I would definitely recommend if you're in mukilteo ! read more

My team and I work at Boeing Aircraft Co. We just celebrated an important milestone (Aircraft Delivery). We arranged 20 Steak & Lobster Meals for Pick up at 10:00am. Amazing!!! Adrian and his team went above and beyond to accommodate us. The whole team enjoyed and savored every bite. Kudos to RCB for working with us. The Boeing team will definitely be returning to this provider of great food and exceptional service. read more

Quick trip to Paine Field and found this little gem on yelp. The service was fantastic and friendly. There were 9 of us and not one misstep. Everyone enjoyed their food and drink - the specials, the sandwiches, soups and salads, cocktails and a robust and quality wine list. The venue was clean and warm. It was great all around and everyone left wishing we had something like this on the Eastside! read more

Absolutely amazing! Red Cork had catered a meal for my work a while back and I just knew that I needed to come in and experience it for myself.

For a Saturday night the place was nice and quiet, definitely what my husband and I needed for our date night. We look forward to coming here again! read more

Food consistently good, server gives great recommendations, and surprisingly there's never a line to get in. Haven't been there on a weekend evening, though, so that may explain the availability. You may not know you want the beet salad... you do. read more

Diamond in the rough. We will have to start with the service. I cant even explain how outstanding and kind wait service was. The food was excellent. Homemade so fresh and just incredibly tasty. Nothing and I mean nothing processed. The chef was outstanding. Truly you felt like you had gone somewhere special. So much attention to detail from the taste of the food to presentation. I felt like we were in downtown Seattle at one of the fancy restaurants. This is special. If you go once you will make this your place. The ambience is beautiful, lighting, and the feeling like you just belong. read more

Our friends took us here on a double date, and it was full. No empty tables and reservations filling up the place. The ambiance was dim but light enough for good conversation. It gave off the vibe of the perfect place for a date or night out to drink and relax. The food presentation didn't do the food any justice and it may not look worth the price but everything we tried was delicious. I would go back here again to try more. The staff was lovely and very helpful when giving out recommendations. The service was pretty quick as well, even though they were busy. They are also located in this strip mall area so parking was really easy. read more

American Italian style bistro. They served pretty good food. I had airline chicken and husband had the wild boar pasta. Both pretty tasty. The little downside for me is that the dishes were both pretty rich. I think there was a little too much butter in it than what I can handle, but it is perfectly fine for normal stomach I think. The highlight of the meal were the desserts! We had the warm blueberry cake with ice cream, and banana foster. They were made in house and they sure tasted amazing. Perfect finish for the night. I think coming here just for the deserts is worth it! read more

Red Cork still amazing after all these years! We are always so excited to see what they post as their specials and this week we were definitely not disappointed! Their carrot curry soup is devine. The sausage rigatoni special was incredible and I hope they add it to their menu full time. This is always the place to enjoy a perfectly prepared steak or market fish. We were even able to watch the Pac-12 championship while enjoying some seriously elevated and delicious dishes and cocktails. The service is always friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We always have a warm, cozy and fun experience in their beautiful restaurant. We cant wait to go back! read more

First time trying out this popular neighborhood spot. Was on the hunt for some delicious chicken parm & this fit the bill! Nice cozy, classy ambiance. Have an extensive wine menu & all food to pair with. I went w/ the Elysian Space Dust IPA on tap, as I'm more a beer & cocktail connoisseur. Friendly & attentive service from Rachel. Would try it again, maybe even another entree but that chicken parm is tough to beat! read more

We had the privilege of having Red Cork Bistro cater our daughters wedding yesterday. Everything was absolutely perfect. From the communication months prior, to the days leading up. Adrian was top notch. The staff that came and prepared and served were so helpful. They kept asking if they could help with anything and we're so eager and willing to just step in where they could. Kudos to your staff. If you have the chance to either go to the Bistro or have them cater an event, you won't be disappointed. read more

Quick pit stop on my staycation here in the Muk! Amazing and I mean AMAZING pork belly tostadas! I added the pickled hot peppers. They were delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and made for me. I really enjoyed these! The glass of wine was delicious as well - but these tostadas were a nice little show stopper. It also didn't hurt that it was happy hour. Also last minute decided to snag a Jalapeño Margarita. Oh my gosh - FANTASTIC. Just wish they had Tahjin for the rim as it's my favorite addition to this style of margarita. Will be back for those tostadas, margs and some more wine! Thanks for the lovely service. read more

Amazing food, staff, ambience! My favorite right now is the corn chowder and chicken parm.

I cannot believe I didn't leave a review after the phenomenal mealI had here a few months ago. I was craving a steak dinner and a glass of wine and after looking for good places in the area for a ribeye, Red Cork looked highly promising. The restaurant is moody with great romantic lighting and dark wooded tables, perfect for date night when you want an intimate meal. We sat by the kitchen door in the corner, and could see some of the plates the kitchen was whipping up. A well put together kitchen with efficient kitchen staff with clean aprons is very impressive to me. I usually worry about hearing cursing or crude comments when sitting so close to the kitchen area but nothing disturbed us. Our server was polite and we needed for nothing with our meal. I had a PERFECTLY seared ribeye with great caramelization on the outside and cooked juicy medium inside. I ordered a side of prawns to create a surf and turf style meal, and my fiancé ordered the lobster Mac and Cheese. The appetizer was some kind of steak on toasted crostini which was quite tasty, and salads accompanied our entrees. It was exactly what I wanted for our dinner together and I even had to thank the chefs when we left. I wish they had some better options for dessert, otherwise I would've ordered something sweet to end a phenomenal meal. This is one of the best restaurants in Washington and has more than earned its perfect 5 stars. We will be back! read more

Also..KUDOS to the kitchen,definitely know what they are doing..GREAT STUFF ..will be back to test drive all the other menu options..Cheers!
