I want to love Corkbuzz but instead will say I like it (have been there 3 or 4 times since its opening). I went to Corkbuzz on opening week for dinner with a group and the kitchen was slow which is to be expected for a new restaurant. I ordered the Roasted Chicken and a glass of wine and both were good. None of us had any complaints about the food or drink.
The next few times I went to Corkbuzz, I was with a group of girlfriends where we ordered mixed drinks, wine and appetizers to share. The wine list is extensive and awesome and predictably pricey -- especially given the location.
The good...
-The food (Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cheese plates, spiced nuts, olives)
-The wine
The not so good...
-The slow service (continued over multiple visits)
-The very loud, ridiculously loud, dining area
The nit-picky...
-Given the pricey wine list and high rent locale, I am not that impressed with the décor and space. Corkbuzz reminds me of a basic space that you'd find in a hotel designated lounge/wine/hangout area. It reminds me of a lobby.
