This was our choice of date night for yesterday night. We had a 7:30 pm reservation and it seemed…read morepretty full on a Saturday night. Host greeted us and we were lucky to have a fairly large table that would seat four. We did the tasting menu that was set for the third week of September. Started out with a compressed melon dish that was both savory and sweet, paired it with a Champagne which was lovely. Some of the dishes that stood out for me were surprisingly the Asian cuisine inspired ones: pad thai, mushroom tart, salmon with red curry. Overall, I'd give the experience a 4.5 (wish our server was more personable), and def worth a date night experience with fair pricing.

Their wagu was potentially the best steak I've had, and I've had many overpriced, underwhelming steaks!

The other bartender was great, but clearly overwhelmed. That would be the one downside. The bar is very small and limited in how fast they can service. Their wine selection was good. We did have a friend looking for a white wine that they did not have. Not that they ran out, they didn't have it altogether. That is surprising for a wine forward spot. But the space itself is gorgeous. The outdoor is really fun with great photo opportunities, as is the inside. It was also perfectly temperature controlled.

It is a great place to meet friends, listen to live music, eat pizza from the nearby truck, etc. The owner and employees at Cork & Screw are so friendly and helpful, and it is clear that they are passionate about what they do. They have a wonderful area out back full of seating options, including fire pits for the colder weather, and there is a stage back there for bands to play. It's truly such a sweet spot! My only qualm here is the parking (but to be honest, this is an issue for most places in Austin, so this is not specific to Cork & Screw). There is street parking in the neighborhood nearby, and a small lot around the corner, but this always fills up. All in all, definitely one of my ATX favorites!

The staff can always help point you in the right direction and are super nice.

We've even been part of the LoLo wine club which id recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about wine, and you get a cute tote bag, a win win. Depending on the day we will hang out inside or outside, both equally enjoyable. It's always a nice time at LoLo!

Each room has its own type of books, along with original artwork, so it feels fun just wandering from room to room. There are plenty of places to sit inside, plus outdoor seating on both floors. If you head upstairs, you'll find a great view of downtown while you sip a glass of wine and flip through your newest book. The staff really know their books and their wine, and I love that you can walk around the store with your glass in hand while you browse. My only suggestion would be to add a small collection of vintage magazines. I'd probably never leave.

Parking was a little hard to come by in the neighborhood, but not impossible. I ended up waiting a little over 1.5 hrs after checking in with the hostess and we were able to snag the very last plate of paella! I've had my fair share of paella and I'm in no way a paella snob, but this one missed the mark for me. 1) the portion did not reflect the $34 price tag. 2) portions of the rice were undercooked and very hard. 3) it was way too salty. It did come with a mix of mussels, clams, shrimp, and sausage, with a side of toast, but I can't justify this part of the experience. We also ordered calamari and croquetas. The croqueta was delicious and flavorful, but the calamari didn't stand out. It tastes like any other calamari. The ambiance itself is cute and the service was great, but the food was lacking.

But I would still advise getting a reservation. There were three of us and we started out with the pastry of the day and the pull apart cinnamon roll. Both were excellent. Two of us got burgers and one of us got the chicken sandwich after that, and I was very glad that one of the others tried their burger before I did because the pickled onions on it were very spicy! The pickles are also spicy but not as bad as the onions. Once I scrape those off, it was a very tasty burger. The person who ordered the chicken sandwich said it could use a little more seasoning but other than that, it was good. We were going to order drinks but they didn't have the ingredients for the one drink we wanted, so we decided to skip that. The waitstaff was very friendly. We were glad we ordered the pastries first because it did take a while for our food to come out. I definitely recommend going there just to try the pastries! They have a small parking lot but they also own the building to the right of them so you can park in that lot also.
