Great menu. We ordered the appetizer special (steamed clams), the KFC, pierogies, parchment mushrooms, and Wagyu bolognese. Everything was great except the bolognese, which was way too dark red and acidic. It was $30 but tasted like a sauce you would get at an Applebees or TGI Fridays. Very surprising and disappointing for this type of establishment. My daughter had ordered it and only ate about a third of it. Our server asked if we wanted to take the rest home. We declined and explained why. He took half off the cost of the dish, which was not requested or expected but very appreciated. Overall, we really enjoyed the restaurant and will be back.
Our waiter was great and attentative. Food great and nice variety. Lots of vegan and gluten free choices too.
We don't drink wine, but the photos of the dishes featured on the restaurant's website look so good, so we made a reservation. We arrived one half hour early, but were seated right away. The menu has a huge variety of small plates and very limited number of main courses. We were not hungry so we ordered a couple of small plates. My friend chose the shrimp tempura and I called the octopus. The octopus was served sliced with diced potatoes. It was tasty. The shrimp Tempura was phenomenal. We finished our dinner with Panna Cotta with warm chocolate cookies. The food was delicious, we have to come back to try different items on the menu. The staff were friendly and terrific. Highly recommended.
Food was delicious. Very tasty. The waiter was great and knowledgeable about drinks we ordered. Loved the Paper Plane.
The food is excellent and so is the service. This is the second time I was here. Had a great bottle of Turley and your servers know a lot about food and wine. Love the music you play as well!
This will be a quick review because, like every other visit, The Cook and the Cork delivered yet again. The taste, quality, presentation, and preparation braised short rib all were flawless. Others in our group had the signature Korean fried chicken and pappardelle, which were similarly (and characteristically) terrific. My only observation, and it is not a criticism, is that for the price the starters and small plates could be a bit more generous. A wonderful experience all around and we cant wait until our next visit.
Food is delicious and consistent, service is always great. Love the menu, short ribs are out if this world as are many of the appetizers. Best fried chicken also. Really really good. Hidden gem of Coral Springs. We've been many times and will go back.
The service was very good...the food was not. Korean Fried Chicken was mostly breading and mashed potatoes were bland. The kimchee, however was excellent. Wish there was more than two tablespoons of it. Short rib was tough. Tables are on top of one another and seeming lack of privacy as we could hear others' conversations and I assume vice-versa. The red lighting makes for a dark restaurant but not in a romantic way. Seems dingy. And it's very loud.
Finally made it here And it did not disappoint. After trying the super delicious but normal but still amazing French onion dip and chips and of course the KFC chicken now I must come back to try everything else. Jordan and Adam are freaking amazing and the people that gave Jordan a bad review before just were really crappy people and we're cheap and didn't want to tip. This place and their service is worth every penny!!!

First time dining at this establishment. We visited during the happy hour, which has several food items and drink specials. I think this represents the best value, and allows for sampling various items without a commitment to full entrees. The house bubbly was excellent quality, and the house Cabernet wad dry and powerful, they represented a good value. The sticky chicken was tasty, I suggest asking for an extra side of the Thai spice dressing, made a good dish even better. Slider was okay, not really a standout. The house made potato chips and onion dip was addictive. Service was good.

So this was the first time I ever went there with a friend. This was for a Happy Hour. Upon walking in , there are only about 8-10 max seats at the bar. The bar faces the wall and then the tables are all behind you and I am not comfortable like that. It is a dark rustic place, wooden tables and chairs no cushions, but my real issue was when this Lori bartender asked what I would like to drink and when I said I have my own coconut water here, she gave me a look and pretty much ignored me. My friend did get a drink so she was nicer to her. THEN we ordered the food and I decided to get a drink after all. I asked JUST for a shot of Vodka!!!!~ That was that and the food came and the food was AMAZING!!!! So we were good UNTIL we got the bill and that Lori girl charged me $14.00 for a shot of TITOS and the whole bottle is only $12...I told her I am not gonna pay for that and that she had some nerve and then she said she would adjust it!!!!! The point at the end of the day, is that the ONLY good thing was the food, but even that was a rip off for the portion sizes and we ONLY ordered 3 apps one had 4 Shrimp. one had 2 yes 2 ribs and the third was bacon wrapped dates and were the size of a moth ball and the bill was over$70.. SO that is the end of the Cook and the Cork, there are tons better classier and more affordable places especially in Coral Springs!!!

In a word: Exceptional. Certainly an exceptionally rare find, worth every penny. Francisco warmly greeted and seated us promptly, and introduced us to Jordan who assured every element of our experience left nothing to chance. Each item was artistically presented and delightfully tasteful. An excellent wine and liquor collection, cozy ambiance and their own free private parking area only added to the experience. Reservations are recommended—especially in season, but not absolutely required. This spot should be on everyone’s must-visit restaurants list for South Florida. One last thing… As eclectically odd as this may seem: you need to check out the restrooms, LOL—even there, one finds a surprising amount of creativity in design— you’ll see what I mean. Do visit this wonderful restaurant.

We loved the food. The menu is narrow but there was plenty to choose from. We love to taste each other's food and then rate the food in each course. There were no duds here! We had read on line that the portions were too small but we had no issue with the portion size. There is an issue with the cost relative to the size but we are finding that issue everywhere we go. The ambiance was cozy and intimate but we had the unfortunate experience of being seated next to a very loud party. Service was very efficient but cold. Not a good feeling.
I've been here before. However this visit is medoicre. The service was horrible. The food was super late. They brought the dessert out before the entree. I asked the server to bring me a straw 4 times. The food was cold but at that point i took it to go. Not coming back.
