What's the definition of "swank", anyway? Well I'm here to tell you that next to the definition of swank in the dictionary should be a picture of this place. Actually, the Urban Dictionary says it best: "It's what happens when you combine Swagger and Lank. Swank!" And while The Cork Restaurant doesn't have so much "lank", it does have plenty of swagger, great style and tons of confidence.
This is what I found out when me and my wife had brunch at The Cork for the first time this past weekend. The waiter knew this menu well and proceeded to make recommendations on our request. One of his first suggestions was the Green Chili Pork Tostada. I told him that I love Mexican food, it just doesn't love me back. (Get it?) He then told me about the Sweet Potato and Chicken Sausage Hash. I was a little concerned about it but gave it a try anyway and boy was I happy I did. The dish is a taste sensation of multiple flavors that blend oh-so perfectly together. My wife ordered the Crepes Suzette and loved that too. She gave me a taste and I had to agree. I'm not much for such a sweet breakfast but this was the most amazing Crepes Suzette I've ever had. I forgot to mention it but the waiter brought us a complimentary small sugar donut with a side dish of honey. I tasted it and it was excellent. My wife then let me know that it's called a Sopa Piaz (Mexican donut). The waiter had tricked me into trying something Mexican and I'm glad he did.
The place was classy, the service was excellent, and the food superb.
