“1/3/25…in town for one night, never been here, never heard of this place, just decided to try it. Stopped in around 5:00. The host asked if we had a reservation, we did not. She said “I’ll work you in” and seated us immediately at the bar. The bruschetta was the bomb! The fried chicken was totally out of this world! The service was outstanding! A must go to place!“

“This was my first visit to Pisco and it was an absolute delight. When my wife and I entered the restaurant, we greeted with a warm smile and promptly seated. Our server was Yanet and she was amazing. She asked if it was first time and since it was, she explained the items on the menu. She also shared her favorite dishes. After having appetizers, we were given fresh cutlery for the main course. The food itself was a gastric experience of new flavors. Everything was delicious. My wife will be back and I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great atmosphere and excellent service. The food was very flavorful, especially the grilled steak, which was delicious. However, the portion size was not very generous for the price.

Overall, it was a good experience, but the portions could definitely be larger.“

“Cork & Olive is such a wonderful hidden gem in Lake Mary! My Husband and I had dinner there last night and were genuinely impressed from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, the wine was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and inviting — the kind of place where you can actually settle in and enjoy the evening.

It has that charming neighborhood feel that makes you want to tell people about it, while secretly hoping it never becomes too crowded. We had such a lovely experience and will absolutely be back many times in the future.

If you’re local and haven’t tried Cork & Olive yet, do yourself a favor and go. This little place deserves plenty of love and support!“

I also like the atmosphere its simple not loud and if you sit at the bar you can watch TV. My only complaint is you get so few fries. Its right down the street from my office so I've been there a few times and would go back.“
