Holy yummy! Corkbuzz is uh-mazing!!! I actually had no plans of coming here until I won a 70$ gift card through a Yelp talk thread, thanks Nikki! But boy am I glad I won!
So we came during restaurant week and the menu was pretty lengthy for it being restaurant week. There were a lot choices and there was enough to satisfy anyone's taste. We started off with an order of the tater tots which were not on the restaurant week menu but so delicious! The mustardy sauce they were served with was a perfect added flavor. I got the beet salad for an appetizer (so good and I don't normally eat beets) but anything with goat cheese in the mix I'll take! My boyfriend got the crab bisque, creamy and satisfying (and again, another thing I usually don't enjoy!). The pork tenderloin was out of this world! So tender, and tasty and the apple slaw added a sweetness that I wasn't expecting! I tried my boyfriends shrimp orrichiette, OMG, this restaurant just kept getting better and better. All I can say is creamy and cheesy!!!
The dessert might have been the best part. The ice cream sandwich was no ordinary dessert. Perfectly crunchy cookies with hazelnut ice cream and Nutella! The doughnuts with ricotta dipping sauce...outstanding. They were so warm and clearly made fresh! I was sooo full by the end of this meal but still wanted more, always a good sign!
The overall experience was fantastic. The interior is really nice, dim lighting, romantic setting if you're looking for a nice date night. The service was a little slow but I blame that on restaurant week, not for a lack of caring on the employees part. But regardless, I cannot wait to return to Corkbuzz and try the full menu!
