All around a great place! I love that everything on the menu is local and made fresh. It says right on the menu to be patient as the food is made when ordered. I have allergies and they were extremely accommodating. There wasn't any awkwardness whatsoever. As soon as our server knew about my allergy, she went right to the kitchen to get the chef to recommend what would be best for me to eat. When she came back, she said that the chef was willing to make anything for me and would make it to suit me. Sure, it took some time before the food arrived... but we already knew this by reading the menu. This isn't a "fast food" restaurant... this is AWESOME! The food was incredible!
Cork is interesting. We have dined here three times since its opening in 2010. The first was great so we returned several months later to the worst service my husband and myself had ever experienced in our lives, bar none. I won't get into details here about what was so dreadful as the list would stretch to the North Pole. The great news is when we decided to give it one last try a couple of months ago it was, by far, THE BEST service either of us has ever had! (worst and best in the same restaurant, what're the odds?) Our server was named Tara, and she was simply perfect. My appetizer was the keema nan, which was not good and before I could even comment she insisted she get me something else. (Incidentally I saw another patron send her keema nan back, as well!) I chose the mussels which were spectacular. We also loved the homemade gnocchi and the braised hare. Throughout the dinner our server was attentive, super friendly and made us feel really well cared for. The patio is lovely, and after this last experience we are looking forward to returning!
Made reservations the night before and they asked on the phone if we are going to the concert and I said yes, why? And they said so we know to get you out on time.
Reservation was for 6, we arrived at ten after. Ordered our appetizers and main course at 6:30. At 7, the waitress returned to have us remind her what we ordered (?) and question if anything had been out yet (it hadn't). At 7:15 we got our appetizers and I reminded her that we had to leave at 7:45 for our concert that was at 8. She said ok, I'll bring the mains out asap.
At 7:50 we still had no mains. Everyone else around us seemed to have no problem getting their food. At 7:55 we complained to the 3 waitresses working there and the one who claimed to be the manager in charge, at first apologized and then called up our order and said that the order was not placed at 6:30 like I said but rather 6:52 (calling me a liar in effect) - the waitress obviously entered it way too late-but when I said that she said "oh no, she wouldn't do that" -our waitress was standing right there. She then went on to say that everything happened the way it should have !!! and the flat breads take extra time and everything happened the way it should have !!!
at this point the other blond intervened - thank goodness - and said we're so sorry, you don't have to pay for your appetizers, etc. And we left at 7:55 barely making it in time for our concert.
Terrible terrrible service by our waitress and the so called manager in charge. Trying to defend the fact that the main meals took 1.5 hours to be served??? I've never in my entire life waited anywhere close to this long for a meal anywhere. We went to the concert hungry and what a disappointment for our date out - don't get many of those when you have kids.
My husband and another couple ate at Cork last weekend. The service was incredible, you could tell she was experienced and knew the wine and dinner menu very well. She offered any assistance in answering questions we might have and even recommended dishes (as i have a dietary restriction). The atmosphere was lovely, the place was packed, the food and service were excellent. We had a wonderful night out, and will definitely return.
clearly the review before this one was when they just opened, and every restaurant has a few hiccups!
the food at CORK is TOP NOTCH!! this is a casual place with very experienced servers! in fact when the Elora mill closed for renovations, all the staff went to Cork or the Bridalbane inn! that alone indicates the caliber of cooks and front staff!
this is a MUST try for any foodie with a refined palette!
