Enjoyed a specialty wine dinner, which included some nicely paired dishes. The staff was excellent, per usual.

Fantastic place for elegant dinner. We go on special occasions never a disappointment. Food is better than anywhere comparable.

Obviously, this restaurant is expensive, but we expected more for the money. For a "wine place," my Sauvignon Blanc was less than mediocre. They had very few by-the-glass options, and it was also the worst pour I have ever received. The filet mignon was also the smallest piece of meat we have ever seen in a high-end restaurant. Almost as small as the dollop of mashed potatoes that came with it. The Elk steak was good, despite being covered in what I thought was too much sauce. The nice-sized portion of couscous was very good, however. Service was good, staff were friendly, nice ambiance. We see no reason ever to go back, so we won't.

We had such an amazing experience at Cork and Flame. We went for our anniversary and we were treated like special guests. Everything from the greeting, to favors, the atmosphere and service was the best we've ever experienced. We'll definitely be going back! The food was so good too! Highly recommend. Our server was very professional and attentive.

Wow, this was an excellent dinner. The food was fresh, delicious, and cooked perfectly. The service was a little slow and food arrived before our drinks. The warm hand towels, amuse bouche, and sorbet was a big plus. The attached wine store had an amazing selection of wines. I would dine here again.

As a transplant, it us refreshing to find a restaurant at the level of perfection I am used to.

My parents and I dined at Cork and Flame for my dad's birthday and had a wonderful experience. The attention to detail at the restaurant was as incredible as the food. I no longer live in Augusta but visit often to see family and friends and was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. I found the food to be exquisite from start to finish and our server, Shepherd, was very kind and attentive. It was our first time dining at C&F and we will certainly be returning! Everything we selected was insanely delicious and I'm a fan of the small tastes offered in between meals; that raspberry sorbet is incredible! Well done!

Overall, it was a fine place to eat. You have to pay for "bread service" with premade heated-up rolls, once they were gone, no one asked us if we wanted more bread. The venison carpaccio came with 5 small slices of venison, my $60 ribeye was served with 2 pieces of asparagus and THREE fingerling potatoes sliced in half. My girlfriend's $50 filet came with the smallest amount of mashed potatoes I have ever seen a steak served with, and also 2 pieces of asparagus. The food tasted good, but the value is lacking.

The atmosphere, food and service were amazing! The crispy brussel sprouts were my favorite and my filet was perfectly cooked. I ended my meal with the Sticky Toffee Pudding- so good! Perfect evening for our anniversary celebration!

I was celebrating my mothers birthday. The server made her feel like a queen. He explained the menu and inquired about her taste and made recommendations. It was hilarious watching her enjoy that Tomahawk size chop. All staff were attentive to our needs during the meal and the night ended with an awesome apple pie desert. Overall Excellent Night
Visited this restaurant for a birthday dinner. Very disappointing experience. Not the gourmet experience we were expecting. Filet mignon ($48) lacked of flavor and was sort of dry, scallops ($47) were undercooked., the cocktails were just OK, nothing special about the bread or dessert. We arrived at 4:55PM for our 5PM reservation, we were at out table at 5:08PM and main course took 45 minutes to be served (we did not order any appetizers) They did not charge for the scallops and provided free dessert for the birthday person.

We ate at this restaurant when it opened years ago. Thought it would be better since they have a new chef...it wasn't. Drinks and wine was excellent. (To be expected since Roger's wine store is connected to it.) Server acted like she didn't want to be there. Nerve a smile the whole night. Amuse bouche was a little spoon with honey. What? Oysters were tiny! Smallest I've ever seen. But they were very good. Had to ask for some crackers to go with them. Took way too long just to cook a steak and be served. (almost and hour). And there weren't many people in the restaurant so no excuse. They are great on presentation but so-so on the food. (Bison steak was tough and cost $58!) Waitress never returned to ask if we needed more water. Desserts were so-so) Ended the meal with a disgusting pile of blue cotton candy!!! Really? Never a "Thank you for coming" from the waitress.

Service was the best ever, drinks were ok but the food was the absolute worst I've ever had.

Since meeting the sommelier Goncalo each and every experience here has been fantastic. He is so knowledgeable and full of wine passion that I feel I am transported to a different country with every dinner. The cuisine has been spot on and we have become regulars, visiting almost weekly. The waitstaff is impeccable and I love the fact that everyone makes us feel right at home.

Service ( not the waiters fault) was poor. One of our group had to wait at least 5 minutes after the others had been served. $8 for 4 small rolls seems to be excessive. Most top resturants serve the bread free. We were not told there would be a surchaarge if you used a credit card. Overall the food was very good. Would I return? it is a tossup!
