Cork Wine Bar & Bistro is a great addition to New Bern’s food scene, offering a variety of delicious dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is known for its outstanding cheesesteak, which many customers say is the best they have ever tasted, surpassing those in Philly and NYC. Other popular menu items include the charcuterie, pastas, and the lobster roll, which is reasonably priced and tasty. The truffle fries are also a favorite, often enjoyed with aioli. The wine list is excellent, with options like a Cork-labeled red and Sauv Blanc that pair well with the meals. The staff, especially Brook, provides kind, attentive, and efficient service, making guests feel at home. The inviting decor and friendly vibe make Cork more than just a restaurant—it's a neighborhood gathering spot. The menu offers off-menu items and regularly changes, providing exciting choices for brunch and dinner. The Sunday brunch is especially appreciated, though some found the Mimosa a bit strong due to the lack of real orange juice. Overall, Cork Wine Bar & Bistro combines European-inspired cuisine with American fusion, making it a top choice for those seeking an exceptional meal.
