| - Restaurant week review: wonderful food and service. I've been wanting to try Corkbuzz since they opened, having read about their story and of course the food. The restaurant was surprisingly much smaller than I anticipated, definitely make a reservation if you're planning to go on a busy night or weekend. We were treated to a glass of prosecco after mentioning being recently married, a really thoughtful treat. We started with the pork belly and corn dip appetizers. The texture and flavor of the pork was excellent, my husband really enjoyed it. The corn dip was good but not great, or lacked some depth of flavor and the pita-like chips were neither soft nor crispy, which didn't bother me but I can imagine some might dislike. We split a bottle of Spanish red wine that was less than $30 and excellent. For our entrees we had the crab linguini with chorizo and olives,
and the rockfish with pickled vegetables and grits. We typically share some of our meals with one another and ended up swapping dishes because we each preferred what the other ordered! The pasta was a good mix of flavors and textures, though a bit salty. For dessert we enjoyed the bourbon chocolate cake and the ricotta donuts, both good. The donuts were hot and fresh!
One of my favorite part of this meal was the excellent service and appropriate pace of the courses. Sometimes restaurant week meals feel rushed even though they are a splurge for many people. we were comfortably able to take our time eating, drinking wine and enjoying one another's company. We look forward to trying the regular menu, as well as brunch.
