The defensive commentary above is highly reflective of the attitude of the staff and manager at Cork tonight when I visited for the first time. Sadly, Cork does miss the mark on delivering the experience it promises as a "wine bar". The wine menu is limited, the staff is painfully uneducated on it's limited selection and the menu is a dissociative mess with no clear dedication outside of giving the impression of sophistication- e.g. odd combinations of flavor such as curry, vanilla, and saffron. Cork simply tries too hard and lacks the talent and experience to back up the lovely decor that reflects a significant investment on the owner's part. The wait staff was also unattentive and even turned outright sour upon receiving honest feedback for dishes that boosted high flavor elements in their menu descriptions but were stale, chewy, bland, and just simply ill prepared. A very disappointing experience. It does not at all surprise me to learn the "new" facility is actually a re-branding of Il Bacio that occupied the same space. Second attempts of this nature rarely succeed, and clearly tempers are high and easily injured by those who are still trying to force investments to yield.
