Prime rib (cooked perfect he loved it) beef wellington appetizer was good, the best lobster i have had(a perfect crisp on top) sweet potato good, mud pie good, the salad bar was a bonus and had some kind of pasta dish that i sware had crack in it. It was sooo good. The jelly beans were delicious especially with my cork martini. The beer was cold. The wheat bread was amaxing. Tricia was perfect. It was cozy near the fireplace. Everyone seemed happy ,even the employees 😄. The menu was cute but would much rather have a paper menu that we don't have to share.
Went the other night, food was amazing. The fillet I ordered was cooked to medium rare perfection. Highly recommend trying the salad bar as well, so many options! Server was very friendly in accommodating! In my opinion worth the price especially for special occasions!
We had a great night celebrating our anniversary. We were sat in a cozy booth in the bar, nice ambiance and the BEST waitress, Nicole. She truly made the night awesome. 5 stars for her. The cocktails were good, crab cakes would not order again(good just nothing great or memorable about them) but our meal was amazing(prime rib and halibut) as well as the mud pie. Their prices have definitely gone up which is unfortunate as they have always had such reasonable prices but seems to be the norm now. We are still huge fans of cork n cleaver especially their salad bar, we will of course be back!!
I never leave reviews and I am generally incredibly easy to please and allow little to bother me, however I think this is necessary. We typically have our special occasion dinners at Ruths Chris and wanted to switch it up and come here since it’s been quite some time and I know my mom used to love this place. I want to start by saying our waitress was great and very friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful for about the first 10 minutes, but that is where the positives start to end. The table that got seated next to us was an employee of here and you knew that by the endless reminding of it to her table after they smacked the table or talking at a volume close to a quite yelling. Between that and her screaming “I love you, I love you, I love you” at every member of wait staff that would walk past to visit, it was hard to focus on anything that was going on at your own table. Of course there is more but im not going to sit here and harp on it. For a place to have its entire reputation built on atmosphere and above average food, this felt more like going to somebody else's work Christmas party, or a late night Applebee’s, not supposedly one of the nicest places in town and spending hundreds of dollars on a single dinner. I will say sitting next to a fire place was very nice however, but that was the highlight of the night. The food was pretty average and I’m almost positive we got the wrong cut of steaks, they seamed very chewy with only fat around the outside (like a NY Strip) which isn't what I picture a Ribeye to be, and at this point it wasn't worth saying anything and our table was just ready to leave. I don't want anything out of this or even anyone reprimanded, however this should be a reminder that you are always representing your workplace even when you aren’t working. I understand you cant control everyone around you, but this probably wouldn’t have been tolerated by the wait staff (or at least I hope not) if any other table was acting in this manner.
Came here for dinner. The restaurant came highly recommend and did not disappoint. The service was on point, courteous and prompt. I loved my steak, but the highlight of the meal for me was the beef wellington appetizer, tender pieces of mean in flaky pastry with mushroom sauce. It was incredible. Our waitress recommended the Harvest Cup cocktail. I always appreciate a good cocktail recommendation. My partner had the vrab cakes and the prime rib. His food was perfectly prepared. Overall we had an excellent high end dining experience that we absolutely loved.
