Awesome restaurant. Small and intimate. Get a reservation or be prepared to wait a long wait. One of the top ten in Fort Wayne.
The best in town! You will need reservations. Great steaks. Good place for a romantic dinner. You can't go wrong at the Cork. Wonderful salad bar. Be sure and go hunger.
The service was absolutely astounding. I don't think any other restaurant can compete with our server. I had the scallops which were delicious. As I couldn't have peanuts, they used a separate grill and made fresh noodles especially for me.
Great food, great service! The last two times I was there, I was seated at the same horrible table where you're sitting on the laps of the people next to you. The waitress was awesome though and told us the table number so hopefully I can avoid this spot next time.
Update, stiil same high prices with good service. You will need a reservation for sure, as they are busy any day of the week. I don't agree I have to tip twice the amount as other places based on the food cost but you get the same service, but whatever.
For what you get I feel it's way over rated. It's a very nice streak place nothing more. The salad bar that everyone says is the best on the planet is equal to or less than that of Pizza Hut. I enjoyed the experience but will not be going back any time soon. Plenty of older people and 1%ersYou can get just as nice or better of a meal at dozens of cheaper places in town. If you want to show off your bank roll and impress your lady by all means spend the $80 it will cost you for two.
This Cork'n Cleaver has been serving terrific
Steaks, Seafood and satisfying appetizers for
over 20 years.
They offer one of the largest salad bars I have
ever seen.
This place is timeless!!
An amazing dinner! Steak was perfectly cooked and Lobster tails were delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive. Since we don't live in Fort Wayne this isn't a place we frequent often, but it is our go to place for special occasions or celebrations.
If you want wine and steak, this is your place. There is an extensive menu for wine, and a separate and nearly as impressive list of liqueurs. However, my wife and I don't drink so I'm exclusively rating the food and atmosphere.
The menu is a bit limited, but if you came for something other than steak you are in the wrong place anyway. The food was very good. It was not the best steak I've ever had, but it very good. To be fair, I've had a lot of steak in my life. The salad bar was small and basic (aside from the caviar, which I tried for the first time ever).
The atmosphere was good. It is more upscale than most places I've been. Everyone was dressed nice. I wore a polo and linen pants. I didn't feel out of place or uncomfortable, but I did feel slightly under-dressed.
We came here with friends and it was the best experience I've had in a long time. Unexpected experience in Fort Wayne.
We did have reservations which made it so easy to get in and enjoy a dinner. Bakers street is very clean and well kept up. Our server greeted us quickly and asked if we'd been there and explained the specials and the menu. She let me order off the kids menu because I cannot eat an adult meal without any issues. She brought bread to start and filled our glasses frequently. The meals were prepared in a timely fashion and when delivered they were excellent. Fresh and prepared very well. Perfect portions for a meal with some leftovers. Dessert was offered but we chose to skip because we were all full.
I love the cork! I always sit at the bar and the drinks are fantastic. The bartenders and wait staff are super fun and make you feel welcome.
Even after all the years I've been going to the Cork. I'm still impressed! The owner is so hands on, that I even seen him cleaning up around the salad bar (which is the best in town btw). It says A LOT when you see an owner as involved as he is in keeping this the Best restaurant in town. Another perfect dining experience last night!
The best experience! We have been a few times and no matter what day or time they always have excellent staff and the food is consistently amazing. The owner is very attentive with his staff and checks on tables to ensure everything is perfect! Can't wait to go back and bring family. Thank you for the best and irreplaceable service!
Amazing place and food. Make sure you get a reservation well in advance (weeks or months ahead) knocked a star off for medium rare steak coming out super rare. Best baked potato I've ever had as well.
My partner and I came to this restaurant for a lot of different reasons. It was the first time we had went on a date in almost 2 years, and this was his mom's favorite restaurant before she passed away. I traveled 500 miles to get to Indiana, and definitely was in need of a nice meal. We were greeted earlier than our reservation time, and sat at a perfect table not too far from the salad bar. The wait staff was attentive to our needs, and patient with my partner's disabilities.
Natalie, our server was lovely, and took the extra time to check on us frequently. Before our meal, I had thought about contacting the restaurant to let them know how important this dinner was to us. I didn't have to, and it still felt like I had. It goes to show that a restaurant staff can treat every person visiting as if it's an important event, even without knowing it.
Thank you for making my reunion dinner with the most important person in my life a great experience. We'll certainly be back!
