With an abundance of family in town, we took everyone to Sunday brunch at The Cork. With a party of twelve, there was something on the menu to please each person's taste buds. The patio setting was lovely and kudos to the kitchen staff, who managed to get all of the orders out at roughly the same time (especially since the other tables were far from being empty). And a special recognition to our server, Russ, who was super attentive and friendly to our group, while he also waited upon the other aforementioned tables.

Loved every minute of this experience. Well worth the price. Everything is fantastic and presented with great care.

The server was OUTSTANDING. However, 3/4 of my large party decided on their meal off the wrong menu as lunch menus were mixed into the dinner ones. One of the steaks was not cooked to temperature, I never received a cocktail I ordered, and my salad had to be remade because the deep fried goat cheese tasted like shrimp (apparently they use the same fryer for both). And then when it was brought back they put the dressing on it when I ordered it without and it was so saturated in dressing that I ended up just not eating it. I was also not a fan of them adding a 20% gratuity without notifying me when we sat down. We will not be going back for dinner again.

We celebrated my parents 50th wedding anniversary. And we had to add 2 last minute. Staff accommodated all of our needs and servers were fun and helpful.

We are from out of town and love to try something local and new. Cork 1794 was it, the food options were amazing. My wife got a strawberry lemonade mocktail, they had real strawberries muddled in the bottom. The spinach dip had more pita bread than we needed, that never happens. The entrees were amazing. The salmon and rizzoto seasoned perfectly and the steak cooked to perfection. Our waitress Kierra Was fabulous and was so kind. If we lived local we would be taking friends back there. W

Food is not well seasoned. My wife's food, the brunch burger, has almost no seasoning and was very bland. My BLT, was over seasoned getting uneven garlic flavor from the aoli and a sporadic sweetness from the bacon which must have been candied? Service was barely adquit, she didn't check up on us after food was delivered. Our drinks were low and we were never asked about refills.

I hate giving them a 2.5 star review, but this is my 3rd visit with very slow service and food served ice cold. This is the 2nd overcooked steak too that was served cold :(. For spending hours there on expensive cold food and overdone steak I just can't give a 3 or 4 star no matter how nice the staff, drinks, shrimp cocktail, and atmosphere are.
Our last visit we spent over 2 hours there the night of the Teddy Swims concert. We waited so incredibly long we couldn't wait longer to have my bland ice cold cognac wild mushrooms redone, the ice cold overcooked steak redone, or the ice cold mac'n'cheese redone. 2 other tables outside with us sent meals back 1 had a complaint (which the manager handled well with a comp) and the other said their food was ice cold and unacceptable so they sent it back.
All together I've been 5 times. 2 were phenomenal and 3(especially the last time) were not on par. We may never go back even though they have my favorite shrimp cocktail in all of Pennsylvania.
-Cocktails/bar 5 out of 5 stars. Bartenders and every drink are always spot on and fast.
-Atmosphere inside and out 4 out of 5 stars
-Cleanliness 5 out of 5 stars
-Shrimp cocktail 5 out of 5 stars! Omg THE BEST!
-Mac'n'cheese flavor is 5 out of 5 stars, but the last 2 times I got it it was ice cold.
-Steak flavor has always been great 5 out of 5 stars, but it's been cold 2 times and overcooked 2 times.
Cognac glazed wild mushrooms 2 out of 5 stars. They we served ice cold, very chewy, and bland. I had to flag down my waiter for salt and pepper.
-Crab cake 3.5 out of 5 stars since it was ice cold, but had a good amount of crab meat.
-Staff are always very friendly 5 out of 5 stars there, but getting food from the kitchen to our tables before it's cold has been an issues 3 times now.
-Speed of service 2 out of 5 stars sadly. Last time our waiter didn't even bring our food or refills outside, a female bartender did. I've had her inside before and she was great inside! They were so swamped they had her running orders outside because they were sitting cold too long.

We saw our server 2 times in the hour to get our food. Once to order and one more time when she brought our drinks. She didn't bring the food out. I had to flag her down after 45 minutes to get water and ask how things were going. The food was mediocre.

The staff was excellent but the food left much to be desired. The burrata appetizer was poorly displayed and had no flavor. My wife and I both got different steaks and they were incredibly over salted and came out cold. The atmosphere was very nice but would not go out of my way to go back.

We make sure to stop here when visiting from Ohio. Amazing firecracker shrimp that’s the best we’ve ever had. The pear and goat cheese chicken salad was a new item that was also phenomenal. Great patio, too.

This is my second visit this year. What used to be a very special experience was sadly lacking. The first visit this year the food was so salty it was barely edible. All three of us dining had the same complaint. This evening the service was adequate but the kitchen was very slow. I ordered the half chicken. Not cooked through, flavor was mediocre and again salty. There was a band playing that was very good but so loud it was impossible to have a conversation. I will not be back.
