We were in town for an event and always try to find unique places. This is how we ended up at the Cork Bar. The restaurant was exactly as described and the experience was amazing. Our server Rachel was great in making sure we had everything necessary for our dining experience. The food was excellent and priced right. Thank you for a great meal. Next time when we are back in Wilkes-Barre, we will make sure to dine at the Cork Bar Restaurant!

Where we were seated the AC air blows directly on the table. Freezing, and I am never cold. Second our waitress : Three of us were dining , after our adult son ordered the waitress comes back and tells him they are out of what he wanted. So he was going to get a burger instead, which is on the menu. Then she proceeds to tell us sorry we don't serve those on the weekend. It's Friday night. So at this point she asks is there anything I can help you with. I say what do you have available because this would be strike three for ordering. Takes over an hour just to get our salads and the restaurant was not very busy at this point. We have been going here for years and by far the worst experience we have ever had. The food is always wonderful but this visit is making second guessing when we will return.

Great food and drinks. Nashville chicken bites are our favorite! Being able to make a reservation on open table makes it super easy.

Phenomenal! It was my 60th birthday celebration and they made it a memorable one. The food was excellent except for the bruschetta, only because the toast it was on was burnt not toasted and you could smell the burnt bread! Other than that it was fabulous!

Linda
Great food, friendly servers. Good choice for our special occasion dinner. Celebrating 56 year anniversary.

Had the short ribs and lobster and both were amazing! The short ribs were fall-apart tender and packed with flavor, and the lobster was super fresh and buttery. Great vibe and friendly service—definitely a spot I'd come back to.

Wait staff was great, food was very good. Only issue was food came out to fast between courses. Will go again but order one thing at a time.

Was excited for a Mothers Day dinner with my Mom, sister and son. Was disappointed immediately when we saw they were only serving a Mothers Day menu. No mention of this on the website. After waiting 20 minutes for our waitress to come over to order our drinks we figured we better order our food as well. Was told they couldn't make my son a burger that is in the regular menu but so he had to settle for chicken fingers that weren't on the Mothers Day menu either but they were fine making those??? Our drinks didn't come out for another 30 minutes after I asked the waitress where they were. We weren't the only ones that received bad service as the party of two next to us didn't even get their salads until our meals came out! I honestly thought they were done their meals since they were definitely there before us. Safe to say we won't be returning. Portions were large but food wasn't that great. I'm really disappointed as I have dined there at least three times before and it is usually an enjoyable experience.

Food was delicious! Service was great..we really enjoyed our dinner...I had shirt ribs, husband had Sea Bass special
The outside of the building is deceiving, as well as the bar area. Don't be fooled by this, the dining area, the food, and the service is top notch. Would highly recommend.
David
Great food and drink, service was great as well- servers were busy but did a great job. Corks did not disappoint .
Jim
The hostess was amazing in helping us set up a surprise birthday guest... the waitress was super friendly and the food was excellent
Joe
Neighborhood haunt. Seafood gumbo was very good; flatbread, not so much. Good enough cocktail, good enough wine list. Bartender wasn't very chatty.
Mary
Great food, very extensive menu featuring a good variety of food. Portions are large, good wine and cocktail menu with generous pours. Very reasonable pricing. Nice atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant. We were attending a concert from out of town and chose this restaurant after researching on TripAdvisor.
