“After seeing a recent post on Facebook we ate at Pasta and Cream for the first time this evening. The pasta and sauces were delicious! Apparently, this restaurant has been open since 2014 and we did not know it existed as it is tucked in the corner of a retail area and has limited signage. It is worth finding! Truly a hidden jewel! We will be back and highly recommend giving them a try. They don’t offer wine with the wonderful food, but they advised that patrons are welcomed to bring in their own bottle.“

“I’m so glad I stumbled upon this place during a recent work trip. I sat at the bar and enjoyed delicious cocktails and excellent food. But the best part of night was the amazing bartender Jessica and a regular named John. Jessica’s attention to detail and excellent customer service was above and beyond. John added that extra special “regulars” insight. I hope if you have the chance to experience such a wonderful establishment.“

“My wife and I celebrated our 24th anniversary with dinner at Cork & Cow. Everything, EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect. Our reservation was for 9pm. We walked in at 8:45 and were seated immediately. Mike, our server, was quick to greet us and made excellent suggestions. I already knew I wanted the bone-in ribeye, but I wasn't settled on an appetizer. Mike suggested the pork belly: ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. My wife ordered the filet. Both steaks were well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Dessert didn't seem likely, since I was starting to feel full, but I overheard another server mention a chocolate torte that had peanut butter mousse, so. . . O. M. G. As if the food and service weren't good enough, we were back in our hotel room by 9:45.“

“I stopped by on Sunday around 9 PM and had such a great experience 😄 The vibe was super chill, and the team working that night was awesome. There were three people on shift, and every single one of them was friendly, easy to talk to, and had a great sense of humor 👍 It honestly made the visit a lot more enjoyable. You could tell they cared about making customers feel welcome. Whoever was working the evening shift on August 17 before closing definitely deserves some recognition — maybe even a raise! 💯👏 Great energy and great service all around.“
