"I ordered the "special", an 18oz Niman Ranch Ribeye. I also ordered a bearnaise to go alongside. The bearnaise was okay, not by any means the best I've ever had, it was a bit bland. I ordered my steak rare. When the steak came out it was far overcooked (well done). I asked the server for a new steak that was cooked to the proper temperature they obliged although they were clearly unhappy. When the second one came out it was still overcooked but less so (medium at best). I ate it anyway because at this point the rest of my dinner companions were at least halfway through their food. The only saving grace to this meal was that I ordered the pistachio cheesecake and it was delicious. Probably will not be eating here again. For a $70 to $80 steak it was marginally better than something that you would get at a Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse. My total bill was over $100 and I left thoroughly dissatisfied."

"This is an upscale restaurant that has a warm, inviting and cozy atmosphere. The service is extremely friendly and polite. The entrees were delicious and the portions were generous. They also served a variety of breads with the meals. I was with a party of 4 adults & 2 children & everyone enjoyed their meals. We all really enjoyed our time there. They also provided a very generous dessert and a lovely card for a birthday for one of the members of our party. The children took home leftovers too."

"Excellent prime rib and the Happy Hour deal is the way to go. Very nice bar drinks. We were there for my birthday and that meant a tree dessert of mud pie to go(). We highly recommend the Cork!"

"While in town visiting son, we went to this restaurant for an early supper (us old folks like this). It was HAPPY HOUR! Hubby and I ordered local craft beer (Avery by gunbarrel brewery) and 7.00 during happy hour. The IPA was crisp and icy cold-PERFECT! The happy hour menu featured appetizers and entrees. Smaller in size but not taste! I had the prime rib which came with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It came medium rare (as ordered) but was a bit tough, not horrible but definitely you had to chew alot. The potatoes were stiff and tepid and quite frankly, bland. The broccoli was excellent so I don't understand why the other items were so so. Hubby's happy hour sized fish and chips were abundant and delicious. He couldn't finish the fries he was so stuffed. Sons prime rib sandwich was so tasty, son devoured it in 10 flat. Sons partner had the sake salmon which he proclaimed delicious! We ordered dessert (OF COURSE!). Sons partner had the carrot cake and I ordered the corks famous mud pie. IT WAS DIVINE!!!! The coffee ice cream meshed brilliantly with the almonds, caramel, etc. There was so much going on with this dessert I had difficulty deciding where to start! And the size? It literally was the size of a quarter portion of cake! I tried the carrot cake too and it was spot on! Not too sweet and perfectly frosted! (Too much frosting will overpower the cake). Our server was low key, perfect timing and friendly. This was a pricey meal, no lie. We had drinks, entrees, desserts and with the tip it was $270.00. Despite my somewhat disappointing entree, everyone else was squealing with delight! Definitely a return visit the next time we're in Boulder. I'll absolutely give it a 2nd chance."
