Until last night, I had never had a bad experience with this restaurant. Now, I and everyone at my table has no desire to ever go back. We were promptly seated because we had a reservation for 6:30. We placed our food and drink order at the same time within 10 minutes of being seated since we were attending a concert down the street at 8pm. We received our drinks and salads in a timely fashion. And everything tasted good. Once our server cleared our salad plates, she stopped attending to our table. 30 minutes went by and she walked by our table numerous times, even when we repeatedly looked at her and motioned that we needed something. I finally asked another employee for the manager. I explained to the manager that our server hadn't been to our table in over 30 minutes and that she had ignored our several attempts to get her to attend to our table. I explained that we had a concert at 8 pm and that we needed an eta on our food. Server was sent to the table and I explained the situation and our frustration that she ignored out attempts to get her attend to our table. She claimed she never saw us. Not sure how that's possible since the final time she was attending to the table right next to us and all of us we're waving our hands and saying hey and excuse me to her and she walked right past us. By then, we had been there an hour with no main course. We watched the table next to us get their food and have it cleared even though they were seated after us. Same server as us. The server stated that the kitchen was behind. I explained we had a concert at 8 pm and we to know when we will be getting our food. She said she would check and then left and didn't come back for another 10 minutes. She finally came back to tell us the food is being plated now. Food came out and there was a ton of stem coming off the mushroom risotto. It was too hot to eat and we were out of time. We boxed up most of our food and got our bills and left. Unfortunately, we missed the beginning of the concert. It should not take an hour and a half to receive your main course. Never again.

Amazing on all levels. Perfect atmosphere quiet enough to talk without issue and beautifully decorated. The food was amazing. The mango chutney with the shrimp app was divine. The pork dinner was tender and flavorful. The Raven is a must have drink. Thank you for a great night with friends.

Took 10 minutes to sit at a table that was already prepared. Then 25 minutes after our drink order and still nothing but water. Not a good first impression.

Madeline was attentive and welcoming. Great first experience!

We were driving through town from a trip from Southern Michigan to Northern Michigan, we decided to stop for a drink. We arrived at this establishment around 8:45 p.m. and we were sad to hear from the bartender that they were sorry but they were closed. The hours on the door said they were open until 11:00 p.m. on Saturday. Confused, we headed down to another establishment (Churchill's) and had a wonderful experience. When leaving town a bit later, we were very sad to see that there were still people in Cork on Saginaw clearly sitting at the bar drinking...??? This is a very poor business model. Guess we weren't good enough to drink at your bar, so you sent us away? Terrible. Never again.

We have a large group and they were very nice and accommodating! Drinks were delicious too!

Stopped in for a cocktail and we were treated exceptionally well. Bartender Andy was fantastic and mixed two wonderful custom gin cocktails for us.
0/10. I ordered food to go and showed up 3 minutes past the time I was supposed to because of no parking, I sat at the door for 5 minutes of just getting walked past and ignored and walked up to a waiter and asked about my food to go and it was just sitting there and was told to get my own food. I ordered lamb chops which are a pretty gamy food, especially when cold. When called to complain, also about service and also in disgusting food and said I would just bring it back; was refused a refund and told “it’s because I ordered to go and if I wanted it hot I should eat in house” but why offer the service? If one food is going to be WAY below par. I ordered a side of broccoli and literally got 2 lol. Sad. Save your money. So many better places with better service will be reporting to every public service I can.

Had a great time here last night. Cold drinks, service was impeccable, atmosphere was elegant and the 2 sandwiches were on point. The chef came out to see if we enjoyed it and grabbed us more garlic mayo. Highly recomend .

It was my very 1st visit to The Cork. The atmosphere was awesome. Beautiful decor. Full Bar. Great wait staff and even got a visit to our table from the chef. I had the Lemon Shrimp pasta with Clams. Had lots of flavor and served a nice portion. Our visit was during the evening so parking was not an issue. This place is also wheelchair accessible.. I can't wait to go back.

Bar service extremely slow when literally 15 ppl in the whole place. Server needs to be more attentive & get special orders correct. Sending food back is annoying esp when you ask for it w/o something right out the gate! The live music was awful tonight. Food was good. Pretty restaurant.
