    It was our first time there. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious! Our server was very attentive and personable. The only thing, and I mean ONLY thing I could ding them on is the sound level. It’s a little hard to have a conversation without shouting. But overall, Cork & Cow is outstanding and we will return!

    Been here a few times. The steak was amazing, however, the wedge was not what it use to be. We were sat upstairs in the "mini loft" and the temp was so hot that we all had sweat on our face before we even finished our meal.

    Love the cozy feel of the space. Delicious chowder could have been my meal but I got shrimp & Scallop Gnocchi too. And the scallops were my favorite. My husband enjoyed his birthday dinner of the filet , potatoes and Caesar salad. Service was excellent.

    We were celebrating our 29th Anniversary and our experience could not have been better. Joe was awesome as our server! He was patient with us as we have a picky eater. He made us very comfortable and his recommendations were perfect. The steaks were cooked to perfection!! Again, could not have been a better experience. Well done!!
