I really wish I could leave ZERO stars. I booked a reservation for my husbands birthday dinner. Some of my party showed up a bit early and informed me that the restaurant was closed. No one bothered to give me a courtesy call so that I could make other arrangements. I spent the next hour running around trying to find a place that could accommodate a party of 10+ immediately. I couldn't have been more FURIOUS.

Not sure what this restaurant is supposed to be. Lunch menu is only a breakfast brunch menu. The first three things you order the wait staff says they are out of. The wine they say is limited and cannot show a wine menu or name, but it's a wine bar. Service is awful. Bathrooms are just, well, ignored. Go somewhere else.

Great little place in downtown Norfolk. The staff here are wonderful. The drinks hit right. Music is on point and the vibe is really chill. They make you feel like you're an old freind. One of my favorite places so far in this

The place is super cute and I'd been wanting to try here for a while. Came here to celebrate a birthday for brunch and arrived as they opened. They were about out of champagne and several other things, the servers were nice but service was super slow, and our food was cold. It took 40 minutes to get our non-alcoholic drinks and a whole hour for the cold food. Most of the food tasted decent but not good enough for the price, wait, and experience. Also, I understand that brunch plates can be a bit smaller; however, that little crab cake was the size of a burned up quarter and we're still laughing at the child sized portion of chicken on my husband's waffle. We spent $82 and left hungry and disappointed.

I visited my bestie for her birthday dinner and it was at my wine & co. I ordered the lamb chops which was delicious but 2 out of four chops where filled with fat. We all ordered together, food did not come out the same for everyone. I waited 30 mins after most of the party finished eating. One of the guest waiting on a charcuterie board, which was ordered with everyone's food for 2 hours. That was ridiculously unacceptable. Service is slow. Food is not enough to fill you up it is decent. Drinks are great, just stay clear from the charcuterie board.

Didn't know prices, brought the wrong wine, took my credit card and then didn't close the check. Found the woman who brought our wine out taking shots at the bar. An unbelievable and curious experience. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

The food was seasoned well and the vibe of the restaurant was cool. The service needed some improvement.

Ordered Brunch at 10:39 Food was still not served at 12:00. We were checked on twice during that time Many people walked out. Any people complaining about their orders. I left money to cover our drinks and left before food came. The only people getting any attention or service were the people ordering lots and lots of drinks or obvious friends of owner and waitstaff. This place is a colossal mess, do not go there

I loved the ambiance here! I took my partner here for his birthday. We were doing a little staycation. And I ordered some food to go. We did sat at the bar and ordered a couple of drinks. Since it was happy hour. I love a good happy hour! Lol! The bartenders were awesome! They were attentive and friendly. I forgot the name of the young lady who made our drinks. But she made the hell out of those lemon drops I ordered. Our drinks were so yummmmmy! The restaurant was a little busy when we arrived. But we had time to wait... It's a really nice restaurant if you want a sexy date night. With the dim lights, the music flowing , great drinks, and really good food. That's a perfect evening! We ordered the 12oz NY Strip with whipped potatoes and veggies. Also the Lobster Me with the same sides. We were just a tiny bit tipsy from those drinks. But the food was good! But the drinks were on pointttt!!! I really want to try their bunch menu. So I'm going to totally have to go back.

My review is based off drinks eve though the food menu items looked delicious I didn't eat anything that day but I'll definitely re visit if I'm back in the area. The place is very nice. The staff were all welcoming. I enjoyed the music in the background and the drinks were priced well also tasted really good. Definitely give them a try especially during happy hour.
What a fantastic place! My sister was visiting from out of town and met someone at the airport who recommended Cork & Co!!! I'm so glad that chance encounter occurred, as we loved it from the moment we walked in to the moment we left! Court was our server and she was timely, helpful, and knowledgeable with her recommendations. We ordered drinks and they were perfect and strong!! We were told the shrimp were to die for and they were scrumptious! We don't normally eat fried shrimp but what the hell, we had family in town, diet out there door! They were battered so nicely and the flavor was exceptional. My sister ordered the fried fish with the jalapeño grits. Hubby ordered salmon and eggs, and I ordered shrimp and grits! Everything was amazing and the portions were large! They close for food at 4 BUT they remain open for happy hour!!! OMG, Chi Chi, our bartender knows what she is doing!!!! We asked to speak to the chef (sorry I forgot her name) to thank her and let her know what a fantastic job she did with our meals! We had an enjoyable experience and will definitely return!!

Finally got a chance to go to C&C and waiting until 2 close friends could go with (who also hadn't gone and wanted to) was the best move ever! Love love love the location! Very New York-ish vibes with the outdoor seating and hustle and bustle all around. Our waiter, Donald, was very accommodating! Arrived at the table quickly, was friendly, and made great martini and meal recommendations. I admit, I didn't make it easy for him because I told him I wasn't eating beef, pork, or chicken at this time and that I'm NOT typically a salmon fan. HOWEVER, he persuaded me to try the blackened salmon and it was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend it! The crab ball appetizer was on point as well. Honestly, I'd go back and order two of those appetizers as a meal; that's how yummy they were. Very lightly fried and barely as well. Flavor was not too fishy but just enough. Perfection! The ONLY recommendation I'd make to the owner would be to upgrade the outdoor seats. They were a little low to the ground and being comfortable while ya eat will make ya wanna stay longer, eat/drink/spend more, and come back. Lol. I will come back anyway tho, maybe next time I'll try the indoor seating Total BB referral!

Not a favorite! The place is small but looks neat and clean. The host ignored me when I first arrived, while continuing his conversation with what seemed to be a friend or someone familiar to him. I stood by the door for 15 minutes while they went on about a party that they attended before I was acknowledged. Finally I was seated! I ordered a drink, the host brought me my drink, he had his vape pen in the same hand, vaping while dropping off my glass! He disgusted me; just didn't care!! My food arrived, the egg scramble was nasty! The other items taste ok. I was told about this place by a associate. She really seemed to like this place; maybe it's the drinks that were mostly enjoyable, because I can't see anything else of interest with this place! I wont be going here for food ever again !

I stumbled across Cork & Company and ended up having brunch. I was highly impressed by this hidden gem. The vibe was very chic resembling a New Orleans cafe with their choice of music. The outdoor seating was super cute. The lamb chops, asparagus, eggs, and fingerling potatoes were amazing. We also ordered steak that did not disappoint. The mimosa was yummy. I will definitely visit Cork & Company again. Just be careful by the entrance it’s a tripping hazard. I counted at least 5 people who tripped over the orange utility cord protector (a bit humorous, but dangerous).
