My husband and I went here on a date. It was a great experience. Really good selection of wines and cocktails. Food menu had lots of good choices for bigger entrees plus smaller plates. Waitress was awesome and she even had the owner come check on us bc we were new. Food was delicious-we had crab Brie dip, chicken pot pie which was best I ever had, and coconut rice/chicken. We also loved the bread pudding! Small space but really good vibe and live music on Friday night when we went. We will go again!

Food was excellent! Very crowded which was okay. Didn’t like sitting in the pub tables. Not comfortable, should be asked when reservations are being made.

The food here is so good. It’s surprising because you don’t expect it from the location in the strip mall and from the very casual decor and service.

Brought a new friend for dinner tonight and have hopefully brought another "omg, how have I missed this place?!"-er into the fold 😁 Please let Chef Gordon know we need an exciting flatbread and amazing pasta to carry us into Fall! My guests have been so in love with the grilled veggie flatbread (though I imagine it'll be replaced due to ingredient availability) and the veggie cheese tortellini (same). Everything else is also amazing, but while I know we'll lose a few, I'm excited to see what new stuff is coming for Fall! Please ensure your newsletter or something let's us know when it's dropping 😁 Thanks for such a great experience Arlene, Todd and Chef Gordon !

This was our first time here and it certainly impressed all of us. I got the Lamb French dip. Delish. My husband and his friend both got the rib eye. The price is really good and a big portion. They both said it was great. His wife got the rockfish almondine. She said it was so yummy. Jenna our waitress could not of been any more helpful. And was so sweet! We plan to come back next month!

Thank you Cindy for the 5 stars and taking the time to give us such a wonderful review. Jenna has been with me for many years and continues to deliver consistent service. I'll be sure to share this review with her. Love that this was your first time and enjoyed the food as well as service. We look forward to your next visit. When making a reservation, you can always make a note to request Jenna!

One of our favorite smaller venue eateries. Staff is always amenable, food is very good with consistent staples—which is why we have been Sunday breakfast patrons for years. Special note: the owner reads and responds to patrons’ concerns. Kudos to County Cork for aiming to please and done a great job of hitting the mark.
The County Cork Wine PubResponded on 21 October 2024
Thank you Skip & April for the 5 stars and amazing review. It makes all the hard work worth it when we see the feedback and appreciate you noting them. We definitely strive to be consistent from back of the house to the front and always want to ensure our customers are taken care of. So thank you again and we hope you'll be back soon. Please say hi if you see me on the floor!
