63 Corks

There are very few places I go, where I'm almost 100% confident my meal will be out of this world. 63 Corks is one of those places. Just visited for a fifth or sixth time, and decided to finally crank out a review. Stopped in on a Saturday night, and the place was hopping. Was there for my birthday, so they seated us at the Chef's table when they found out. Didn't request it, so getting it was a really nice surprise!For starters we did a glass of cab (9/10), and one of their house whiskey cocktails with Buffalo Trace, an apple slice, cinnamon stick, simple syrup and bitters (8/10). Like a slightly spiced Old Fashioned. We also ordered the "Ohio Hot" Fall Calamari ($16). It was Crisp Porcini Mushroom Dusted Calamari, Roasted Butternut & Sweet Potato Hash, Pumpkin Seed Chili Crisp, with Maple Hot Honey. What a symphony of flavor. The calamari was crispy and lightly battered, with good seasoning and crunch. The hash and chili crisp were the perfect compliment. The maple hot honey gave it a hint of sweet, with more than a hint of spicy. One of the better starters I've ever had (9.5/10). For mains we had the Appalachian Wagyu Beef Cheeks ($38), and the Autumn Duck Breast ($36). The beef came with Apple & brandy braised wagyu beef cheeks, smoked whipped potatoes, sweet & sour root vegetables, and crisp parsnips, with a red-eye demi-glace. The beef was the most tender I've ever had in a dish like this. No knife needed. Just fell apart and melted. The whipped potatoes gave a nice balance, and the crisp parsnips had just enough starch and crunch to tie everything together perfectly (8.5/10). The second main featured a Smoked maple seared hudson valley duck breast (medium rare), sweet potato & duck confit farro, wilted fall greens & candied turnips, and apple chutney, with pomegranate glaze. I'd never had farro before. It's a whole grain wheat, kind of similar in look to barley, but tastes more nutty. With sweet potato chunks and duck confit mixed in, it was absolutely *phenomenal*. The turnips, which I wasn't looking forward to, were also somehow delicious. Chef is a magician back there. The duck was cooked perfectly, with the fat still in tact. Really happy with this decision (9.5/10). Weren't going to get dessert, but the pastry chef we'd been seated in front of all night talked us into the Chocolate Mocha Crème Brûlée ($11). Thank god he did, because, wow. I've had a lot of traditional crème brûlée in my day. My first venture into chocolate was unreal. Caramelized sugar on top of a downright decadent chocolate custard with just the right amount of espresso flavoring. Topped with house made whip and two chocolates shaped into "coffee beans". Couldn't have asked for a better end to an outstanding birthday dinner. Service has always been top notch. It's fine dining, but the servers feel like family. It's never felt stuffy or sterile, which some "fine dining" tends to do. If you're anywhere in northeast, or even east central, Ohio; "63 Corks" is worth the drive. You don't want to miss this place. Trust me.

Meal: Bread Service, Winter Scallops, Bourbon Caramel CheesecakeDrink: Stella Rosa Red Timeframe: Dinner (reservation)I visited 63 corks with my best friend for our Christmas gift exchange. We had both been before but this is my first yelp review. The ambiance is wonderful, it's cozy, warm and inviting. I love the decor, very elegant with the fireplaces and I loved the seasonal decor. Our service was wonderful, both servers we had were attentive, funny and personable. The bread service was okay, ours was a little toasty for my liking but still tasted light and fluffy. The butter was awesome! My scallops were also a great meal as a whole bite! Dessert, as usual, was the favorite part of my experience, the cheesecake filing was creamy, the caramel sauce did have a hint of bourbon and the crust was tasty with what I think was pecans. Overall, I'd love to visit again, although might be a seasonal trip as it can be a little pricy!

First time here and we will be back. Positives: Super friendly staff! Our server Sally was great, very attentive, personable, and answered all questions. The dining room was intimate and included a view of the kitchen - michelin vibes getting to peek into the inner sanctum. The scallops were succulent and melted in your mouth. The trout saltimbucca was an complex blend of flavor and texture that made for a great dish. The seabass was perfectly crispy on the outside snd moist on the inside. Served on a bed of celery root mash, it made for a very tasty combo. Chef Nate personally recommended wine pairings that complimented each meal. Additionally the smoked S'mores dessert was amazing and came with a delicious hot white chocolate drink.Cons: The calamari while had a great flavor had some pieces that were super crispy and had a burnt onion ring feel. The soft pieces were amazing and if that was the majority of the dish it would have been perfect.Definitely recommend for a romantic date night or special occasion.

Wife and I were Lucky to get in this gem of a place ! We Heard about it in the afternoon and called until Ashley answered and explained they were pretty full but we could sit on the patio at 6:30. For future visits I will Be sure to call well in advance. Started with caprese beet salad with heirloom tomatoes. Light and flavorful. Many other appetizers to chooses from when we return. We chose a petit Syrah from McManis to pair with our dinner choices. I heard an adjacent table ask if they had anything they were "known" for; the server said no, but I have to believe going forward the 9185 pork chop dish will get consideration. Hands down best double pork chop I ever have had or possibly will have ! Perfect preparation and accompanied with wax beans and fingerling potatoes. My wife enjoyed her chicken breast over smoked mashed potatoes. We split a piece of the Bourbon Carmel Cheesecake to finish the evening. Ashley took fantastic care of us and I recommend asking for her when you visit. She's was knowledgeable and just the right amount of attentive. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

We we stopped in for dinner today the service was great. Karen did a very nice job of making us feel welcome and gave us great service. The food was overall great and will be back when I am in Ohio. It was a 4 hour drive for this and well worth it. The chef was very nice as well. The just change the menu two days ago and would try a lot of the items. It's definitely worth a stop.

TLDR Version: Probably the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. They messed up on nearly every aspect of our visit.Full Version:I really hate to leave a review like this because I don't want to do any damage to a small business's reputation, but I also don't want anybody else to go in with high hopes, and have the kind of experience that I had.My wife and I are here for our 5th wedding anniversary. I was excited because I had seen some glowing reviews on TikTok, Google Reviews, Yelp, etc. The drive for us was about an hour, but I figured it'd be worth it to try something new and unique.I called ahead of time and arranged for a bouquet of flowers to be on the table when we arrived. Not only was there no bouquet, but our table was extremely uneven, and we were seated in the "wine room." This is where all the employees hang out, eat snacks, make drinks, ring in orders, print tickets, etc. We were seated directly next to where all of this was going on, and I felt like I was in their way the whole evening. The bouquet situation was never addressed.My wife ordered a wine flight, but instead of getting a nice labeled flight tray like everybody else, the server left each time she ordered a glass, and brought them individually to the table. My margarita was decent, but it was served in an oddly textured martini glass with a bunch of ice, making it difficult to drink.The "bread service" isn't bread service, but rather four slices of bread that you get one time. The tomato, oil, and cream cheese dip that looked so fresh and delicious online only had about four tomatoes in it, and the rest was just oil and cream.My wife's $43 filet mignon was burnt on the outside and severely undercooked on the inside (she ordered it medium rare, but it was almost inedibly raw). It wasn't tender like a filet should be, but tasted like a poorly cooked sirloin. The gnocchi that came on the side was a bowl of undercooked dough balls.The server was weird and unprofessional. Never gave us any kind of proper greeting, didn't seem to know anything about the menu, was constantly shouting to other people for help with every question, and on multiple occasions, tried to make ordering decisions on my wife's behalf.Two drinks, bread service, two meals, and one dessert was in the ballpark of $150. I would highly recommend spending your money elsewhere.In all fairness, the scallops were very good, and so were the doughnuts. Every other aspect of our visit was comically bad. We were genuinely laughing about how awful it was, especially for the price.In lieu of leaving a review like this, I reached out via the email address listed on their website under "contact us" over a week ago, and followed up a few days later, but I haven't heard anything back.

This place is Ohio's best kept secret! My family recently dined here based on snipingfordom.com recommendation. The bread was really good. Unfortunately, not the same bread as in the review but was equally as good. The pork belly was really good but could have used a char on the outer ends to make it better. The scallops were first class and the sides under the scallops were what made the meal! I could eat that all day! My wife and daughter had the filet, which both stated are the best steaks they have ever had ( Ruth Chris has nothing on them). My oldest had the salmon which she said was good but not the best ever. The smoked s'mores desert was a cold piece of cake that would have been better hot. The white hot chocolate made it much better. Overall, this place was amazing and worth the 2 hour drive to get here. Plan on coming back!

My husband and I were staying in amish country this weekend. We were there for an early birthday/anniversary celebration. We decided we wanted something different for dinner than we have had there in the past. We drove the 25 minutes from our hotel to 63 corks. When we arrived it looked very different from what was inside. The restaurant is smaller, but cozy. We were seated in the wine room. It was us, and another couple seated in that room. We enjoyed being able to talk to each other without trying to talk over other patrons. Our waitress was very sweet, all of the waitresses were super friendly. I had the Ohio Primavera and my husband had the pork chops. Both were amazing! I tried a bit of his pork, it had sweet potatoes. I do not like sweet potatoes but their's was amazing! The couple next to us asked about the name of the restaurant. We were all touched by the reason for the name. For drinks I had the blueberry limoncello. It was a little strong so she fixed it for me. We also got some riesling that was amazing. At the end of the meal I got the s'mores dessert. It was so cool the way it was made. It was so amazing! We definitely will be back. Definitely not what we expected, but in a good way.

Ate on the porch. Did not enter the restaurant. The porch is a very intimate, small area. Some road noise from passing vehicles is not objectionable at all.Service, attention, and help from numerous service folks was remarkably wonderful. They knew The details of how the food was prepared, and what to expect relative to taste. The staff was attentive and made us comfortable throughout the meal. We never felt that we were being rushed to finish eating and leave. The pace of service for the meal courses was comfortable We were invited to remain on the porch to enjoy the fire pit after we had eaten.The food was wonderfully prepared and well - presented. The menu and wine list contained a wide variety of items.A pleasurable dining experience!

To expensive and serves food for the more suffocated customers ‼ They don't offer appealing items for the common clinician and tell. Overly suffocated.
