The Cook and The Cork

"The food and atmosphere were perfect for my fiancé’s birthday dinner. The staff even placed candles on her dessert as we sang her happy birthday. The overall experience however was soiled at the end of the night when our waiter came out and questioned us about his service while holding our bill in his hands. He questioned us with an upset face, leaving us confused due to the fact that we all tipped him off of our separate checks. When we realized that his behavior was in fact due to his lack of appreciation for the tip he received from us, we all agreed that this wasn’t a place we’d be returning to again. We understand the current tipping culture, but having to feel like we robbed someone of their wage when we simply were there to enjoy a meal was uncalled for. If the waiters aren’t being paid enough then the restaurant needs to do better; if the waiter is being paid sufficiently for his job than he needs to do better and be more appreciative for money that is not meant to be mandatory. As stated previously, each person in the group tipped either 10 or 20% for their bills. You’re welcome for the extra cash and I’m sorry your employees don’t get paid enough that they must rely on their tips. I’m not a wealthy person and shouldn’t have to pay both their wages and the meal."

"Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here the other night. We ordered several small plates for the table (party of 4) which included a variety of vegetarian and seafood dishes. Each plate came out piping hot and was prepared with thoughtfulness and finesse. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Even the chef came out to greet us and thank us for our visit. I can’t say enough good things about this fabulous hidden gem. We are already planning our next visit!"

"This was the first time coming to this restaurant. My boyfriend and came on date night and the atmosphere was great. The food was delicious, ans the wine was immaculate. My only concern was that our server Jordan lost his temper on us when we saw we didn't tip. Neither my boyfriend and I had cash and we prefer that than to do it on the card, knowing the servers dont always get the tip. The professionalism was thrown out the window. Im just sorry I wont be coming back to such a lovely place."

"Hidden gem in Coral Springs. Food is reasonably priced and was delicious. Really enjoyed the ribs and fried chicken. Wine was also priced with a below the typical restaurant markup if you get a bottle. Cheers to the chef and owner. Worth a visit."

"This is a phenomenal spot for dinner or drinks. Their menu is highly creative with exceptional ingredients. Servers are very friendly and the food is ready quickly. Each bite is layered with flavor! They have an extensive wine menu and also have beers as well. The outdoor seating is adorable and there is plenty of room indoors too. Highly recommend checking their rotating specials to catch some really tasty more seasonal dishes."
