    I started with a bowl of the soup which was delicious but cool. For the entree, I ordered the fish, and it was cool when I received it and had a fishy taste to it. It was as if the food had been pre-prepared and stuck in a microwave for a few seconds. Waiter was excellent.

    The food and ambiance were good. The house salad was fresh and had a unique flavor profile, the pork bun appetizer was the best pork belly I’ve had in a long time. Filet mignon was very good tender and flavorful, bone in rib eye was good but I would personally skip it if we come again for something else as it didn’t seem good enough for its cost. Sides we had were Brussels sprouts and asparagus both outstanding sides. We finished with their cheese cake who was the real star of the show! Very smooth and distinctly cheesecake flavor. We shared one, in the future we will get one each. Service was excellent waiter came by as needed and read the vibe of the table well. We are quiet people who prefer not to chat with the waiters too much, he was friendly, kept our drinks filled, gave recommendations when asked and was not pushy about any menu items. Collected plates and replaced silverware quiet and efficiently, really matched how we liked to dine, if you like to chat with servers he would have chatted as needed. The space is small so noise was a little more than I was anticipating, but we could talk without raising our voices so it was fine. Atmosphere was very cozy, the staff wear blue jeans and button ups which matched the vibe. Overall a very pleasant experience. We plan to return in the future.

    We had a lovely meal at Cork & Cow. Delicious cocktails, perfectly cooked chargrilled steaks. The Thai Curry Lobster soup was one of the best flavors I’ve had in a long time. The olive oil cake was also a highlight. We will definitely return!
