menu soon (Cork would be a great model) to carve out more of a sustainable position in the local restaurant scene. I hope so.

the chopped steak and he said it was decent. Also not that expensive. We had our first bottle of California wine on the trip: Toad Hollow. We liked the name and it turns out the wine was excellent too. My husband kept the cork...

I’ve been to a Wagamama in Cork, Ireland...I agree that the concept was pretty good but we found that the food lacked the deep flavours that I think Torontonians would want to see in that style of food. I’m absolutely...

than bottled/cork finished wines. This packaging is very popular in Australia, and for as much as we hear about the quantities of beer that Aussies drink, they consume a lot more wine per capita than Americans too. (g) Wines...

I’ve been to Commis and to me it is all about the food. The service is good but not fantastic and they do have their occassional missteps (like the time they opened a Champagne and the cork went flying into the wall, of...

Artisanale=banal.Too much self-righteousness/atititude coupled with mediocre food.Steak Frites for me, like Jab05, was leaden and tasteless but then Rowe Meats never wowed me. The concept is tired, too. They’ll tank in the...

Let me preface this by saying that I love the gastropub concept and am a beer aficionado. IMO, PH is the best Boston has to offer in this genre and I generally consider it a step-up from Deep Ellum for both beer and food....

concept, say over on 14th by Cork. The renovation didn’t look cheap, but I guess they didn’t want to expand.

There are number of Italian ‘sodas’ that I like- in particular San Pelegrino’s Sanbitter, which is similar to a non-alcoholic Campari and soda but perhaps a little sweeter, and their Chinotto, same concept but...

this excuted to near perfection at Cork a couple months prior. We were really hungry and really excited about the place and ordered six. That is where things took a turn, we told the waiter to bring the dishes out in three rounds...
