The food was tasty especially the crispy cauliflower and the Ahi Nachos. Unfortunately they did not have pizza tonight. Service was friendly, efficient and quick. Portions are set up for sharing. It is great for getting together and sharing a few plates.

I was really pleasantly surprised.. Tried to go to a few other restaurants that I loved very much, that were closed. Some even permanently closed.. To my disappointment. We saw a cork & fork in the ten top places to eat in the area.. The food was really good. The waitress made me a special non alcoholic drink with ginger beer & hibiscus it was so good. We had a variety of things. Fried artichokes..good Vegetarian dumplings I had a shrimp taco, ask them to put the bacon on the thig. That was one of the best tacos i've ever had. I will go back for that.

Cork & Fork is an entirely different experience after being taken over by its current owners and moved to its new location in La Quinta's Citrus Plaza (50th and Jefferson). The menu is inventive and tasty... service friendly and attentive...the staff actually seems to like working here... and the decor fresh and attractive...intimate and open spaces inside and pleasant patio seating. Very nice bar (shout out to manager Marlene who keeps things lively), good cocktails and a wine selection that says 'someone knows what they're doing is a big add to the nice feel of the restaurant (if you drop in, meal service at the bar is great). Word is getting out on the new, improved Cork & Fork. I'd keep it a secret, but I want this place to be around for awhile.

Cork and Fork hosted our client appreciation reception. We had 50+ guests in the back room, which they set up as a bar, and patio. Sheri was our host. Atmosphere was lovely (and the music not too loud), service excellent and attentive, and food and drinks delicious.

Loved the food and the vegetarian options. Cocktails are delicious too. It is overpriced-Two people can leave with a $100+ bill and still be hungry. The prices or portions should be adjusted, but otherwise a great place!
