Thanks for the suggestions. My boyfriend has his heart set on trying Corks so were going Friday to celebrate him turning in his thesis. What should we wear?

Going to dinner at Corks tonight. Any particular recommendations? I see they’re doing a 10 year anniversary menu, does anyone know if that means they won’t have their “regular” menu going too?

stay at entry level. Over the last year, we noticed an inordinate number of bottles of Dow’s Ruby that are corked, easily a dozen. We drink so much of it that it’s obvious at first taste. We've noticed no corking from...

Wine bar fans that we are, we've been to 'em all except Cork. We are planning to go Friday for happy hour. My question is: Is there any street parking to be had in the vicinity around 5 or 5:15? If not, is there valet anywhere or...

I went to Cork last night with a friend and enjoyed this new spot....I only wish the secret wasn’t out. :) My friend lives around the corner, so we met up at 6pm. At that time the bar was full and a few tables outside but we...

We were planning to attend Taste 2007 http://www.tastephx.com/ Sounds like we're all looking for alternatives to Scottsdale Culinary Festival. I’m not into meet markets and paying $10 for a piece of subpar pizza. I’ll...

Well it’s been a long time since I’ve been to Corks. Probably a good year or so, at which time I was seated in the way back of the restaurant, got bit by a mosquito, and was served a pork loin still raw in the middle...

How much are cork fees at most restaurants? I imagine most BYOB’s would not charge anything if you brought your own bottle of wine. Am I mistaken? I’ve never brought anything to a restaurant before.

Vintners are starting to use corks for some wines and screw caps for others, because sometimes the best way to achieve the desired taste in a wine is to screw it shut.

We were at corks about a year ago- is that recent enough? anyway we left with only a recolection of the extreme bill! food was fine experince ok minus the arguing couple with the kid playing video games at the table near by. I...
