Even with a reservation and many empty table we still had to wait to be seated. This was at 5pm when they should have had plenty of servers on duty. Other than that a great experience, food, service at the table and ambiance.

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.

Not too many options for a last minute Christmas lunch. Ernie’s has a convenient location, the food was tasty, the view from our table was very nice. Our server was pleasant. Will return.
