| - Walked in on a Friday night... Thought we may not get in since we didn't make a reservation. It was pretty empty, then we found out why. Appetizer- $13ish 3 crackers, 3 slices of cheese, 3 slices of summer sausage. Was decent, not decent enough for $13. The three of us were starving and looking for a good meal. We were warned by our server that portions were small and to order more if hunger was to be quenched. (Hence the reason to go EAT?) Second portion: Salad. We ordered two kale salads and one that basically had Cracker Jack popcorn thrown in. (At least hers had a "little" more flavor) We spent $33+ on three salads that had about as much taste as a wafer on Sunday at church!?! Ours was HORRIBLY bland. Best aspect of it was the one slice of tomato at the bottom. It was actually very tasty. We were about to turn our napkins in and call it a night at Cork and head elsewhere. But we had high hopes... Course #3: Wagyu flank steak for me, the special of the evening for the lil lady, Pork loin with apricot and mozzarella something-or-other, and our friends Lamb dish. My steak was flavorful and I don't have much to gripe about... The lamb eating friend tried fervently to cut through her rubbery portion, only to eat 3-4 bites and give up. As for the lil lady: The "special" was not so special, unless being dry as cardboard makes one feel "special"? I could see it from where I sat... flakes of pork flinging off as she cut, not moist tender-bites of goodness that sounded appetizing from our server.
Service was good, polite, attentive, food was less than ridiculously bland and WAAAY overpriced for NOTHING good!?! Sad...and I was embarrassed since I recommended we go there.
So, we ate a $15 pizza afterwards. That fulfilled our needs.
