What a nice surprise Cork & Fork is. Do not be fouled because it is in a strip mall. Decor is funky yet warm/comfy. Our server was friendly and knowledgable-her recommendations were amazing. Love the sharable menu, you will want to taste everything. Make sure to order at least one Chef’s specials.

This spot just opened, and they totally nailed it! The vibe is this perfect mix of retro diner charm and fine dining vibes—with cozy seating and top-notch food. The staff: Super friendly and on it the whole time. Even though the place was packed, they made sure my group felt taken care of from start to finish. Dinner was a win, and I’m already planning to come back and check out their breakfast menu.
