Under the Cork Tree

Mediterranean Tapas style restaurant. Waiter was friendly and helped us with recommendations. Service was quick. Large selection of items, small and large. We ordered the chefs board, octopus, patatas bravas, and mixed grill. Everything tasted great.

My husband and I went to brunch at Under the Cork Tree as part of a press trip to Sandy Springs. [gifted experience, but thoughts are my own]Staff was super friendly when we arrived, and seated us on their cute patio. Located in a strip mall location, you might be surprised by the charm. It feels like a quiet escape from the nearby highway. They offer brunch cocktails and a large menu of everything from charcuterie to greek donuts to the Basque breakfast. Look, you might be thinking: Fish for breakfast?! Just order it. It's savory and delicious. Of course, to satisfy your sweet tooth, get the Greek donuts. They bake their breads in house and these are perfectly crispy and puffy. Honestly, just incredible. Definitely a great brunch experience in Sandy Springs!

We went for brunch on Mother's Day. They were serving their regular menu and we had the brunch items. My kids shared the French toast which was perfect for them. We almost offered 2 separate plates but luckily the server said that it's big enough for them to share. They each had a piece of French toast. The Shakshuka was amazing and the bread that came on the side for dipping was delicious. My husband was jealous of my order because it was the best! The place is not as big as I thought but it's still really pretty inside. It wasn't too loud either. They do have street lot but if there's no room there's a parking deck. Overall it was great!

I came to have dinner with a friend and this place was great. The hostess greeted me and was very nice and pleasant. The waitress was very efficient and she gave us the space to have a conversation without interrupting us every other second.I was seated promptly and the waitress came over right away.We ordered a charcuterie board, patatas bravas, octopus and something else that I can't think of (I forgot to take pictures). I know, I am sorry!The charcuterie board was phenomenal and it had a little of everything. In all honesty, if you are not that hungry, that will suffice your hunger. The octopus was great and very tasty with a kick. If you want to explore your wild side, I suggest that you order this tapas. The other thing that we ordered was the patatas bravas and they were very spicy for our taste so we did not eat many of them. The restaurant over all is very clean, up top date, sophisticated and very nice. I am giving a 4 **** because they let a dog (NO SERVICE/NOT EMOTIONAL SUPPORT) in the restaurant to make it to the patio and I found it gross as dogs are animals even when we treat them like humans. I have a dog too, I love dogs and I don't like to bring her to restaurants to respect the entity, the cleanliness and the personal space of other people.

Work related dinner experience was amazing! Host & servers were equally welcoming. We started with charcuterie boards (pic not provided) great options! Appetizing food display. Scallops were really good! Mediterranean style salad (pic not provided) was delicious. The dessert had different textures but overall filled my sweet tooth.

I visited this restaurant on Father's Day and was super excited to check it out. The atmosphere was gorgeous, and the restaurant was really cute. We were surprised there was no wait for our table.The host at the front door was super friendly, and our waiter was awesome. The menu had so many delicious-looking options. I was really excited about the tapas, especially the scallops. When our food arrived, everything looked AMAZING. A+ for presentation.The first dish I tried was the scallops. At first, I thought there were six scallops on the plate, but then I realized there were only two, and the rest was polenta shaped to look like scallops. What a scam! Two medium-sized scallops for $18? Come on.The cod fish fritters were just okay; you could barely taste the fish. The lamb merguez didn't have much flavor. My mom's dish, the shakshuka, was bland and tasted like eggs in pasta sauce. We know what shakshuka should taste like, and that wasn't it. My niece's salad with grilled shrimp was underwhelming, but I kind of expected that, lol.The vibes were so pretty, but the food was just meh. I was really disappointed. My friend enjoyed their chicken sandwich, and the Greek donuts were the only thing I liked. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

Great food, drink selections, and atmosphere. The patio space was great. Will be back for sure.

I love a restaurant that actually reads the reservations comments and goes out of their way to make your experience an outstanding one. That's exactly what the team at Under The Cork Tree did for my friend's birthday making it that much more special. Upon her arrival, the manager came over and personally greeted her, wished her a happy birthday and thanked her for choosing to celebrate at their establishment. That was pretty much how the rest of the dining experience went...Attentive service which we appreciated. Special shout out to Marco who took great care of us that evening! Must haves: Mini Grilled Cheese & Apple Salad, Brussel Sprouts, Tagliatelle Bolognese (they ordered as an appetizer and entrée because they thought it was that good), Frutti de Mare Tagliatelle Arrabbiata, Bone in Ribeye (for the red meat lovers and it can easily feed 3-4).

We've been here for dinner and brunch and it has been incredible both times! Delicious tapas, wine & dessert. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has great lighting. Great for a date night or celebration! Sarah was wonderful.

Food was amazing and so was the service.Great birthday dinner spot.The ambiance is a little moody which is nice.I would definitely go back again.
