Excellent meal and service as always! Luv going to Cafe Bizou!!!

Amazing service and exquisite food… an all around fantastic experience.

My husband and I have been to Cork Dork at least a dozen times now. We've seen the restaurant evolve, and while we keep coming back for the food and a few key people, there's a certain inconsistency that's become increasingly noticeable. Let's start with the bright spots, because they truly shine. Chef Danny is a culinary magician. Every dish we've had has been consistently delicious, showcasing innovative flavor combinations and perfectly portioned servings. The prices are more than fair for the quality you receive. And don't even get me started on the desserts! Their bread pudding is a masterpiece, a decadent treat we look forward to when it’s available. Plus, their wine selection is truly impressive. Options by the glass you rarely find elsewhere. Our experience is further elevated by two exceptional employees: Rosie, the bartender, and our server Lindy. Rosie is a ray of sunshine, always greeting us with a warm smile and crafting the most fantastic drinks. She remembers our preferences and makes us feel like valued guests. It was our first time meeting Lindy, but was equally outstanding. They were engaging, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations and making our dining experience truly enjoyable. Rosie makes amazing cocktails. Unfortunately, there's a flip side to this story. The manager, while not outright rude, has never shown any recognition of our long-term patronage. It's a small thing, but after dining here, more than a dozen times, it feels impersonal. We've never felt particularly welcomed by him, and his demeanor often lacks the warmth we experience from the rest of the staff. Despite this, we continue to return to because Chef Danny's food, Rosie's hospitality, and the overall excellent service outweigh the managerial shortcomings. If you're looking for fantastic food, unique wines, and a genuinely friendly bar experience, this place is worth a visit.

Everything was very good. Raw seafood could have been better. Steak was perfect. Service was great.

Love Nonna, the food is amazing, always consistent , service is always great, ambience in very nice!
