The Cork and Craft

Surprisingly Great Experience We searched for a new restaurant to try and this popped up on yelp as a nearby restaurant. The restaurant is in a business-like center and the door doesn't even look like the entrance to a restaurant in my opinion. There's a beautiful outdoor seating area with lights all around.There's a gorgeous chandelier in the center of the restaurant. It was cool to see the beer kegs in the open kitchen and barrels along the wall.It was Not cool to see the insulation fluffy stuff on the ceiling. I assume the ceiling is under construction? Other than that the lights are so beautiful inside and outside of this place- including the restroom.I ordered the seafood roll.There was wayy more bread than seafood, the crunch from the bread and the smooth and cool seafood is a delicious balance !There's a slight kick to the seafood that adds the perfect flavor !I love that the chef was generous with the amount of crab used on this roll.Although the bread is seriously crunchy it could cut your mouth type of crunchy.They include a small cup of butter that when poured over the bread it softens and adds a yummy flavor for the roll. The Brussels sprouts !!!Oh my goodness best Brussels sprouts I've ever had. There's this sweet yummy sauce drizzled over it that is EVERYTHING. Another server nearby Gavin suggested we try the Brussels Sprouts with the sauce from the mussels and he was freaking Genius!! There is this creamy salty sweet deliciousness that happens with the two collide. So good! I could eat a whole bowl of just that! Mussels were perfect. Our amazing server Kristen offered to get my daughter a kids Mac & cheese since she couldn't decide on what to order from the kids menu. Kristen remained friendly, patient and considerate. And the Mac and cheese was so satisfying.I am not a fan of the dessert. Although Kristen couldn't find a dessert menu she described what they offered and how they were prepared. We chose the crème brûlée. At first sight it looks delicious but when you scoop -it tastes as if it needs more time to cook. It honestly reminds me of flan instead of crème brûlée so it just wasn't my vibe.I love the focused attention, kindness and helpfulness of the staff. I was looking for a restroom while I was seated and Gavin noticed me searching and guided my daughter and I to the restroom. This was pretty awesome in my opinion I appreciate the willingness to serve and support. I will definitely be returning !

I used to love this place but I think the chef has changed. I was most disappointed that my favorite garlic noodle is super salty with brown sauce. When I informed Gavin, he just said that's the sauce they used. I think they may have changed the sauce supplier or the cook may have added some salt or other sauce.The crust on the salt and pepper chicken wings is super crunchy (different from crispy). It was hard to bite into it. The Brussel sprout was very crispy but taste pretty good. The abnormal blonde beer is also good. The saving grace is the burger. It still taste the same. Can't go wrong with burger, I guess. Definitely won't come back for anything else except burger.

Ambience +Service +Food +The food, the ambience and service are all perfect to make this a good dinner.Brussel sprouts 5/5 Get this for sure. Perfectly roasted and sauces. Gnocchi - 5/5 Just good. Garlic noodles - 5/5 Flavorful and perfectSeared salmon - The veggie serving was rather small. The salmon and the curry/sauce was really yummy.

My wife and I just happened to be in the area unexpectedly due to a medical emergency and I wanted to make the best of it. Found this restaurant and the experience was outstanding and turned my whole psychology around, it really made a positive impact on my psyche, I'm not kidding.Loved the ambiance and vibe, it's modern and while hip, we're not young but felt completely comfortable here. Really great lighting and furniture (and great layout, too, I love the hallway that separates the dining room from the bar), and we chose to eat at the bar, we got great service and of course the awesome food. But the bar area was really appealing, the kegs of beer behind the bar, the nice bar lighting (I know I already mentioned lighting but this is specifically the bar area) and cool counter.My wife had the lobster roll and tater tots. She normally eats gluten-free but no way she was gonna pass on that delicious true to New England lobster roll. No element disappointed. Delicious flavorful lobster, perfect texture for the dressing, and great split top roll. And the tater tots are perfect. By the way, even though this is a beer place, uh, wine is great! My wife had a sparkling rose she loved, it came out of one of the spigots like the beers!I had the prime rib sandwich. WOW. Delicious. How do they do it? Seems so basic but it's the seeded bun, the horseradish aioli, greens, it all works perfectly. And fresh hot crispy fries.We stayed a while drinking after we finished our meals, enjoyed the great service and the vibe just put us in such a great mood and turned our stay in the area positive! I won't forget it.

So close to 5 stars, the only reason I gave 4 stars is that they don't have a lot of gluten-free options and the gluten info is not on the menu. This should be standard in 2024. Everything I've had there is delicious though. If gluten isn't an issue for you, you must dine here! We even rented out the restaurant for our wedding in 2018. We married in the main dining room and had a brunch reception in The Library. That day was a 5 star day! ***please label gluten containing dishes on your menu. Many of us choose where to eat with that info.

I don't love this review update I'm about to make -- I went to Cork and Craft with my manager yesterday for a celebration lunch since we have been in the past and it's generally always been a solid meal and a nice place to sit outside and chat. The food was still tasty and our waiter was kind. However, that night, both my manager and I fell ill and we suspect it was food poisoning from lunch as no one else in the office was sick. We didn't order the same dishes -- I had garlic noodles, brussel sprouts, and a cider, and he had the short rib and a beer. The only thing we both had the same was water, but we were both sick to our stomachs hours apart. This seriously makes me question how sanitary the kitchen is if it wasn't a specific ingredient in a dish. It doesn't help that at one point an employee came out of the restaurant and violently hacked/spit into the bushes? It was loud and disgusting, and I figured he was maybe a smoker on his break but now I'm not so sure. Luckily we both are recovering fairly quickly, but I will definitely not be back.

Came by for a Yelp Elite event, but will only be reviewing the items we paid for (review of complimentary main dish and beer is on the Yelp Elite page made specifically for the event). THE FOOD ELABORATION. - Brussels Sprouts | Pork belly, date balsamic reduction, and pickled red onion. The sweetness of this appetizer was a little overwhelming, but otherwise, nicely made Brussels with crisp outer edging. The pickled red onion helped a little to balance the sweetness. - Baba Ghanoush | Overall, I liked the eggplant flavors and tomato bruschetta, but the naan almost seemed pupusa-like. THE VIBE EVOCATION. Rustic wine bar vibes. The bar is a smaller area and separated from the larger dining space. I loved how cozy this restaurant felt and it could be largely due to the soft lighting and alcohol everywhere. Either way, the ambiance was welcoming and I enjoyed our dining experience.THE PARKING AFFAIR. Parking is free, but it's hard to find an open spot in front of the restaurant. You may have to park further away or even on the street. THE RESERVATION DETERMINATION. Highly encourage making reservations. THE RETURN QUANDARY. If I'm in the area, I'd come back to try more dishes and beer/wine.

I've been here many times and always enjoy the food and the atmosphere. Recently came in with some friends to enjoy some drinks and food. I had a burger...it was really really good! It was cooked perfectly! The fries also equally delicious! Service was good. The server was attentive and ensured we had plenty of refills on beer and water. Looking forward to my next visit!

I came here for a solo dinner date, which started as a bet with m my daughter that we would both take ourselves out to dinner or pay $100 to the other person. I wanted to go to a nicer, more upscale restaurant and I remembered being here a couple of times before with friends and really enjoyed it. I was a little nervous to be honest, because I don't usually eat alone at restaurants, but it was actually very peaceful. That's the same word my daughter used.Everyone was very friendly and the waitress was fine with me moving outside after I was seated. Now to the food - I got the special, which was rigatoni with Italian sausage and broccolini. It was delicious! The noodles especially were cooked to perfection. Next time I will be bringing my book and staying awhile, maybe even get a dessert.

The craft double burger is really good. I do wish they add a pickle and a small side to the burger. It was just a burger for $14ish. Maybe make it $15 and add some fries? It needed a side. My husbands tri tip was good, and cooked to perfection. A little on the salty side at the ends, but it had good flavors. Brussel sprouts were good. I really like the jalapeños on it. Mussels were good too, except the broth was salty. A lot of the food was on the salty side but had flavor. A cool spot in a business park area. Friendly service too. Would definitely come back.
