   Great menu. We ordered the appetizer special (steamed clams), the KFC, pierogies, parchment mushrooms, and Wagyu bolognese. Everything was great except the bolognese, which was way too dark red and acidic. It was $30 but tasted like a sauce you would get at an Applebees or TGI Fridays. Very surprising and disappointing for this type of establishment. My daughter had ordered it and only ate about a third of it. Our server asked if we wanted to take the rest home. We declined and explained why. He took half off the cost of the dish, which was not requested or expected but very appreciated. Overall, we really enjoyed the restaurant and will be back.

   We don't drink wine, but the photos of the dishes featured on the restaurant's website look so good, so we made a reservation. We arrived one half hour early, but were seated right away. The menu has a huge variety of small plates and very limited number of main courses. We were not hungry so we ordered a couple of small plates. My friend chose the shrimp tempura and I called the octopus. The octopus was served sliced with diced potatoes. It was tasty. The shrimp Tempura was phenomenal. We finished our dinner with Panna Cotta with warm chocolate cookies. The food was delicious, we have to come back to try different items on the menu. The staff were friendly and terrific. Highly recommended.

   The food is excellent and so is the service. This is the second time I was here. Had a great bottle of Turley and your servers know a lot about food and wine. Love the music you play as well!

   This will be a quick review because, like every other visit, The Cook and the Cork delivered yet again. The taste, quality, presentation, and preparation braised short rib all were flawless. Others in our group had the signature Korean fried chicken and pappardelle, which were similarly (and characteristically) terrific. My only observation, and it is not a criticism, is that for the price the starters and small plates could be a bit more generous. A wonderful experience all around and we cant wait until our next visit.

   Food is delicious and consistent, service is always great. Love the menu, short ribs are out if this world as are many of the appetizers. Best fried chicken also. Really really good. Hidden gem of Coral Springs. We've been many times and will go back.

    The service was very good…the food was not. Korean Fried Chicken was mostly breading and mashed potatoes were bland. The kimchee, however was excellent. Wish there was more than two tablespoons of it. Short rib was tough. Tables are on top of one another and seeming lack of privacy as we could hear others’ conversations and I assume vice-versa. The red lighting makes for a dark restaurant but not in a romantic way. Seems dingy. And it’s very loud.
