I absolutely love this place! My boyfriend and I discovered it a year ago and we love to come here for date nights and happy hours. It's a great place to start your night off if you're looking for a more relaxed vibe. They sometimes have live acoustic music which sets a great ambiance. They have games you can play at your table which was a blast. I cried laughing playing Cards Against Humanity here when my family came in town.
The food is delicious and reasonably priced. It's not a great place for getting a large sit down meal, the food is generally smaller plates like bruschetta and meat and cheese boards. I love all of the grilled cheese sandwich options!
I know very little about wine.. But I always enjoy the selections. And it is so reasonably priced, it's tough to beat!
So why 4 stars instead of 5? The last time we went in we learned there was a new owner and saw that they have switched it to a hookah bar.. I'm sooo sad about this. I have nothing against hookah bars but it definitely changes the feel of the restaurant. I loved the ambiance so much! Add hookah and you go from a cute intimate wine bar to a hookah bar and nothing else. I'm worried that the Toasted Cork will turn into that.
Overall, I love this restaurant/bar and I would recommend it to anyone! But not if it fully transitions into a hookah bar.
