Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines

We are a chef-owned restaurant that explores American and global flavors. Expect an awesome dinner of sharing plates, incredible cocktails, an award winning wine list and rockin' tunes! A mural wall by graffiti artist iSurge, lush tropical greenery and an herb garden helps set the mood on our outdoor patio. Recipients of consecutive Wine Spectator Awards of Excellence since opening for 10 years straight, and a DiRona Fine Dining Award recipient since 2016.
The menu changes slightly with every season, and the wine, sake, and beer list is always evolving and growing.
The Cook and The Cork does not want to be considered fine-dining, but we take food and drink seriously. Our goal is to have all our guests be a part of the fun, and to share the love we have for the restaurant, food, and staff. Private and large parties accommodated, please contact directly: info@thecookandcork.com or call 954-227-2665

I had high hopes for this quaint spot but was second guessing my decision when the appetizer arrived which included the smallest dates I have ever seen. Probably the size of olives. Usually bacon wrapped stuffed dates are of the larger medjool dates but to my surprise they went with the tindest kind available. Service was extremely lacking as I believe they were short staffed the entire night. It took roughly 50 minutes to get our entrees after our appetizer arrived. The entrees were average, nothing I would go out of my way to have again and not bad either. Dessert was a let down as they ran out of ice cream which paired with many of their desserts so we ultimately passed as we did not want to wait once again.

The weather was perfect for an outsude table, which is more roomy and quieter than inside. Daily special was Walleye, which is rare to find in Florida. It is as tasty as trout, and flakier. Wait staff was friendly and attentive with excellent knowledge. Compliments to the chef!

The restaurant presents good small plates and appetizers but struggled with their main entree. We had the Tamari-Honey glazed Short Rib and Pappardelle Bolognese Short ribs were dry, tough and difficulty to cut through. Pappardelle was dry and lacked flavor. My wife returned two cocktails before getting one that was good. I would recommend this restaurant for happy hour and small plates.
