Neighbourhood gem

Cork Tree Restaurant is built around California products. Local ingredients are used whenever possible and wines of the West Coast, particularly California, are featured.

The wine list is always a work in progress, with a balance of well known wineries, as well as boutique wineries.

Cork Tree enhabits a style rich in California elegance. Large and round booths privately encased in wood and fabric provide intimate spaces for conversation and romance, while providing views of the understated glamour of the dining room. Beautiful Palm Trees and a natural cascading fountain make the Cork Tree Patio wind-protected and well-appointed for dining under the stars. Additionally, depending on the size of your celebration, two private dining options await.

We went to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had a wonderful time. The food was well prepared and presented. The birthday girl had the special surf & turf, with the filet cooked to her request. I can recommend the scallops, were moist and tender. There was live music, but not too loud and was entertaining. We will be returning.

We had a table on the beautiful patio. Service was great and the food was delicious. Great drinks as well. A bit pricey, but we splurged on a birthday dinner. They also presented us with an amazing desert for the birthday boy. Overall lovely evening.

We had an outstanding dinner experience at Cork Tree last night. My wife and I had the seared sea bass, which was excellent. Our dining partners had chicken and short ribs, which they enjoyed as well. The Cork Tree also has ca very good wine selection. The services from Max and his team was also excellent.
