Absolutely wonderful atmosphere, outstanding service and amazing food. We got the smorgasboard, coffee and mimosa flight. Our server, Maya, was a total sweetheart and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

First time experience. Chicken, French bread, Asparagus and House Salad were delicious.
The Cordial Cork-I always have such high hopes, but am always disappointed. The best thing about this place is the atmosphere and drinks. The server was ok. Food is not great. This is the fourth time I've been since it's been open and unfortunately, it always a let-down. What a shame, because there's so much potential!!!
I had the stir-fry. I asked our server if it was regular pasta in the dish. She said it was some sort of Japanese noodle. Ok, I'll give it a shot. Angel hair pasta. The sauce was very sweet. My husband's BLT was subpar. How do you mess up a BLT??? Our friends risotto stunk. Not a lot of flavor, on the hard side, and just looked blah. The salmon and chicken were dry. At least one friend was happy with his burger.
They had a great band playing. It wasn't too loud where you couldn't have conversation. Gave our server 3 stars because an hour AFTER we were finished eating, we had to ask for them to be cleared.
I want to love this place! But, when we go, I try not to expect too much. Not a great feeling. 😕
Love the atmosphere. Our bartender Faith was so kind and very attentive!

We frequent this place every year while visiting family.Hickory Ember drink is a must have.Disappointed prime rib no longer on menu. Their taco tuesday tacos are very good.
Probably the best place to go eat and hang out in the whole city of Richmond. Sunday brunch has become a weekly staple for my wife and I.Vegetarian options: They're appetizing enough to eat on their own, regardless of dietary needs.

Doesn't feel like a place in Richmond. More like a place in Tampa Bay. Wonderful food. Slightly above average in cost but I feel it's worth it. My fiance got chicken and waffles I got an omelet. I feel like mine was actually more value. She loved hers. The flavors were excellent.

I've had hit or miss experiences at the Cordial Cork. Today, we tried their Sunday brunch. It was fantastic!Service was much better than our last visit. Food was great and a good price. The place has always been clean and stylish. I hope the construction right outside does not deter people from giving this Depot District establishment a try.
Not impressed. The armadillo eggs were way too spicy and served with no sauce. The surf and turf skewers were dray and bland. The beer was mediocre. Pass on this place.

The food was very bland. Ingredients weren’t fresh and the risotto was gritty. The server was very nice though.

My first place at this establishment and I get raw burgers and too spicy to eat foods. For as much as they charge you for a meal here they do not have good quality. I myself ordered Mexican corn which was my first time ordering and to my tastes was too spicy. It was drowning it the sauce and only had a few bites and it was sent back to the kitchen and was never remade to my liking. But was still on my bill. My guest ordered a burger with mushrooms and Swiss as well done with the truffle fries which they ate the fries but when they got to their, "well done" burger it was very much pink inside. We got the burger back and it was made well done but was now chared burnt. We offered to just pay for the fries, the jacked up nachos and the alcohol drinks. Because that all we consumed. She took off the fries and the burger but not the corn that was also sent back. Also while the burger was being remade she tried rushing us to order desserts knowing my guest hadn't even had his meal yet. She miss the opportunity to ask us if we need any more drinks or never bothered to ask of me wanted refills. Then when hading us the bill she was on a phone call. I don't care if she was talking to the owner I would still say finish your phone call then deal woth your customers because it make the whole place and unpleasant experience for guest especially new comers.

So let me say I wish I could give a better review. The ambiance great, the waitress amazing. The water tasted off, so much so even coke can't hide the flavor. The armadillo eggs were sadly very underwhelming. The pretzels were great after i took off 90% of the salt pile. The rosoto was chunky and full of grainy cheese and the broccoli on top wasn't seasoned, I didn't mention this as our waitress was already being great I didn't want to be the complaining guest. They were out of the asparagus and mushrooms, but that happens. The kicker I think was the sesame stir fry, so little veggies. Looked like angle hair pasta for it and was over cooked and mushy, and lastly the chicken was over cooked and dry. That being said they were kind enough to compensate us for my husband's noodles, which is partly why I didn't mention my own dish I was happy enough to pay for our meal. As I said great service. But perhaps think burgers and fries should be the specialty for this place.
