    "Beautiful setting, nice atmosphere. Why do you only open at 12pm? Lol. Other than that, food is just ok for this price range. Taci Poke was good. Short ribs was a little dry, my burger was a bit too burnt."

    "UPDATE: Jan 2026 (Surprise Sushi Menu!) We ran into a pleasant surprise at The Cork and Craft during happy hour. They have expanded their offerings with a sushi and sashimi menu! THE NEW FOOD ITEMS 🔥 Yuzu Yellowtail Sashimi: Thick-cut slices arranged next to an eye-catching bed of shredded daikon, carrots, and greens. The plating was striking and matched the freshness of the fish. 🐠 Pinku Rolls: Yellowtail slices draped over spicy tuna rolls. The presentation was charming, with the pieces circling a heart-shaped cherry tomato in a nest of shredded veggies. 🍣 The Hot Night Roll: Generous slices of fresh yellowtail and salmon draped over a spicy tuna roll. 🍆 Curried Eggplant: Rich and flavorful chopped eggplant with harissa, tahini, and herbs. A great veggie option. ⭐ Service: Special thanks to Anthony for the consistent and friendly service during this visit! (Original Review: The Classics) Upscale local hangout with a nice wine and beer selection. Offers American appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. THE FOOD • Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings: These have been consistent favorites for years. They have a crispy outer skin and are topped with an addictive garlic, scallion, and chili flake mix. (Tip: Ask for this topping on the hot potato chips, too!) • Brussels Sprouts: Generally a good bite with chunks of pork belly, balsamic, and cheese. SERVICE • Special thanks to Gavin for the excellent service over the years—you help run a great floor!"
