   Well, we will never return to what had been one of our favorite restaurants. We are incredibly disappointed. The restaurant has undergone a near 100% change in concept with little or no notification. What was a unique menu of mainly small plates from European influences is no more. The food and style of dining was the appeal. We frequently brought guests and visitors to "show off" this wonderful dining experience. We made a reservation for this very reason again, only to arrive and find a restaurant we didn't even recognize. The entire menu, the style of service, the wine list, the service staff and their appearance - all have changed. The menu now is as mundane and common as could be and noticeably overpriced for the quality. There are probably 25 other restaurants in the area that serve these standard, uninspired dishes. Salmon, roasted chicken, burgers, steaks, Caesar salad, wedge salad... nothing at all unique. While the food was good, it did not impress at all. Our party of four had a bill well over $300 with tip (and one even had a burger!) We are sad. Cork Tree seemed to be a successful restaurant. In the 10 or more times we'd dined previously, there was always a full dining room. Why the drastic change? Two people we ask said only "we have a new chef". No, you have an entirely different restaurant. We wish you the best. We will never return, and never again be a "champion" of your place by frequently inviting and recommending it to others. What a very confusing choice you've made. You should change the name of the restaurant right away. You'd be doing others a service by not fooling anyone into thinking it's the same place. This is not Under The Cork Tree in any way, shape, or form.

   Trout was excellent, wasn't so loud that you could talk.

   After years of this being one of my top favorite restaurants, i was so disappointed that they no longer served tapas. The food was only fair and it was expensive. I went with a good friend, and the best part of the meal was the brussels sprouts side dish. I am so disappointed in the quality of the meal for the cost that I will not go back to this restaurant again. The novelty of their fabulous tapas was what drew my friends, my daughter and me for years. No more.

   We had a great brunch today. Thanks. Really enjoyed the shrimp and grits and the French omelet.

   This is a new concept restaurant not the tapas Under the Cork Tree was known for. The food was not good and very expensive for what you get.

   Very enjoyable. Lovely server and space. The restaurant is white table cloth without being stuffy. Will definitely be back.

   This is a really nice establishment. Great food and wine selection. It would be nice if the comfortable & picturesque seating ambience was extended to the area to the right of the hostess’ desk.

   I miss the tapas menu. Still a nice experience and the food was tasty and good quality, but nothing unique. I loved the Mediterranean tapas menu which is what drew me to this restaurant. Not sure I would return.
