Pretentious and beyond over-priced.

This place is the Lauriol Plaza of Logan Circle (that is not a compliment). I live around the corner and every time I've been here, I wish that I'd stayed home. Only people with no imagination or interest in seeking out way better places only steps away could ever be caught dead here. That being said, if you like pretentious, crowded places with snobby services, over-priced food and WAY over-priced wine, you will love Cork.

Worth The Wait

We showed up on a Friday night with great weather, so could explain the almost 3 hour wait. Luckily we secured a spot at the bar and drank until our table was ready. The hostess was very nice and made sure to drop by every once in a while to assure us that they were still aware that we were there. Once we got seated, we ordered a bunch of plates for 3 of us and were not disappointed. The food was very flavorful. We had the pork loin, leeks, mushrooms, meat and cheese plate and probably more that I can't remember at the moment. I wish the wait had been shorter, but the food was well worth the wait. Next time we'll go during the week.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I've been to Cork a few times and found the food excellent each time. The pan-crisped brioche sandwich and the flat iron steak are my favorites, but I even really liked the dishes I normally would not order such as the rosemary chicken liver bruschetta. I don't drink wine, but each time I've visited Cork the waiter offered a specialized drink from the bartender when he found out I don't drink wine. I thoroughly enjoy Cork, and have recommended it to several of my friends.
