What a great Restaurant. We were there the first time last night for dinner the ambience was great the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Gabriel Our waiter was outstanding he explained every dish with extreme detail and took care of both my family and my children like if they were his own. This place is great I will definitely be coming back soon. I highly recommend the spare rib appetizer they are phenomenal!!!!
I was there yesterday. I always make a point to go when I'm in town visiting. I would definitely be there more if I lived in the area! The food is fantastic, thanks to the brilliance of Chef Keith! I had the Korean BBQ ribs & Chicken & Waffles. My server was the best, describing & explaining each item in detail! I also love how Dena, one of the owners, walks around & chats with the customers, making us feel like one big family! I highly recommend The Cook & The Cork when you're in Coral Springs next time, and even when you're not!

It was my first time dining here last night. I've been wanting to eat here for a while, and I was NOT disappointed. It was cozy and friendly atmosphere. Our server was amazing. I was reading the menu and planning out my selections and when our server came over and started describing all of the choices, and how he was describing them was mouth watering! It was like he was telling a story with such passion! I changed everything I was going to select and picked whatever he suggested and was blown away! I can't wait to dine here again.
Great atmosphere, small, intimate place. The food is amazing. There are specials that change but also a fixed menu with a bunch of small plates to try it all. The mussels are to die for, the pierogies are fantastic, the spare ribs are super tender that falls off the bone, and the frog legs (part of the specials) were great. Great wine selection. Definitely a place to visit and try everything.

I believe if you go someplace with no expectations, you can often be pleasantly surprised. That and a good attitude will make for enjoyable dining except at the worst places.
Went here last Saturday night with my BFF. Never saw the owner but our waiter, Niko, was fabulous. Very knowledgeable on the food and wine. Both of which were excellent. It's a small place which can get crowded but I didn't find it cramped. Noise level was about what you expect from a small, open, busy restaurant.
We tried 6 different small plates, almost all of which were fabulous. The Ribs being the exception as I've had better and the Kimchee Cucumber was way too spicy, at least for me. But the Tempura Shrimp with Sweet Chili Glaze and Honey Wasabi, the Fried Chicken & Waffle, and Lobster Macaroni & Cheese were indeed excellent. We also had the Pork Belly with Mu Shu Sauce (that night's special) and Zucchini Pancake with Osetra Caviar.
In all we had a lovely time, in part to our waiter and in part to the excellent food and wine. The night ended with dessert, Madeira and coffee, the last of which had me wishing I could stick around. It came to the table in a small French press, dark roasted, and smelling like heaven. They're definitely not cheap, but for me, it was money well spent and worth every dime. We will definitely be back.
We just had a private party of 50 here and it was fantastic!! Great owners and great staff. Highly recommend going for dinner or hosting a party at this restaurant you will be happy!!
Great restaurant! We really enjoyed Chef Keith's eclectic variety of small plate offerings - prepared to perfection. I highly recommend a visit to this cooool bistro.
Great food and atmosphere! The waiter Gabriel is simply the best! He talks about food like nobody else in FL!! Will be back for sure
Chef Keith is a culinary genius. All of his flavors are on point. The service is always outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant to a true foodie.
Everything was excellent for takeout. Sadly, we didn’t get to experience the dining room due to Covid or view the Wine Spectator award winning list. I’ll like to visit once things open up. Loved the spare ribs to go
Visited this restaurant with my in laws and two children. Place is cozy so bringing a special needs Person is challenging because the tables are set very close together. Starters must be ordered because bread isn't served and the food is cooked to order, so it takes approx. 25 minutes to get your food. The flavors of the food are wonderful however you do not get your "American sized portion". Small plates can be ordered and shared. Personally, I would have enjoyed my visit here with another adult or another couple. Can be pricey if you order the typical appetizer, entree, drinks and dessert.
Best dining experience,hard to believe we were in Coral Springs! Great homemade food and one of the largest wine list with all price points.the beer selection could be better, but was still god.we had the small plates and a bottle of Kistler chardonnay(wow). Can't wait to go back and try more entrees.
We were a party of four and shared six or seven small plates. We all liked every dish including dessert! Pierogis were so good as was the beet and goat cheese salad.
This place is great, small plate sharing is the way to go
The Cook and the Cork in Coral Springs is a new restaurant that is generating a lot of buzz. We headed over to give them a try recently and found a cool, trendy spot that is a bit different than the normal Coral Springs fare. The Cook and the Cork is a locally owned and operated restaurant and that’s a welcome thing in the Coral Springs area that is full of lots of chain restaurants. The location off of Sample Rd seems fitting, since this area is home to more of the Mom & Pop establishments. It’s located in a strip mall and parking is limited to the front and some around the back of the building. Walking up, you can see it’s a rather small building and once you step inside, it looks even smaller. The Cook and the Cork really tries to utilize the small space they have, but we can see at peak times, it might be hard to maneuver around the place. The bar to the left seats around 15, and the rest of the dining space has maybe 60 chairs. The décor is very nice wi
Had an absolutely wonderful dining experience here the other night. We ordered several small plates for the table (party of 4) which included a variety of vegetarian and seafood dishes. Each plate came out piping hot and was prepared with thoughtfulness and finesse. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Even the chef came out to greet us and thank us for our visit. I can’t say enough good things about this fabulous hidden gem. We are already planning our next visit!
This was the first time coming to this restaurant. My boyfriend and came on date night and the atmosphere was great. The food was delicious, ans the wine was immaculate. My only concern was that our server Jordan lost his temper on us when we saw we didn't tip. Neither my boyfriend and I had cash and we prefer that than to do it on the card, knowing the servers dont always get the tip. The professionalism was thrown out the window. Im just sorry I wont be coming back to such a lovely place.
Definitely enjoy the food in the atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.. the drinks from the bar was also good.
This is a phenomenal spot for dinner or drinks. Their menu is highly creative with exceptional ingredients. Servers are very friendly and the food is ready quickly. Each bite is layered with flavor! They have an extensive wine menu and also have beers as well. The outdoor seating is adorable and there is plenty of room indoors too. Highly recommend checking their rotating specials to catch some really tasty more seasonal dishes.
Hidden gem in Coral Springs. Food is reasonably priced and was delicious. Really enjoyed the ribs and fried chicken. Wine was also priced with a below the typical restaurant markup if you get a bottle. Cheers to the chef and owner. Worth a visit.
My husband and I had a fabulous Anniversary dinner. The atmosphere was so romantic, the food was delicious and we had amazing service from our server, Jordan. He was very knowledgeable about the wine and the menu and took excellent care of us. We will definitely return.
We came for our anniversary last night and the food was amazing. We got the Korean rice cakes, and they were my favorite of the night!
For our meals he got the short ribs, they were melt in your mouth tender and delicious! I got the KFC, the chicken was crunchy and juicy and tasted amazing, the mash isn’t for me though.
My only complaint would have to be our server Jordan. He was very attentive to all of his other tables and practically ignored us the hour and a half we were there, we sat waiting to order and the other server had to say something to Jordan to get him to come over. He checked on us once and after that we just had to catch him if he was running by. He just seems very uninterested in us for some reason.
Besides that the food and the restaurant was amazing, we want to go back when it hasn’t rained so we can eat outside.
Our favorite place to eat. The short rib is amazing. Also any fish special is sublime. David is an incredible server and very attentive and personable. The ambiance is impeccable. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Perfect date night spot! Service was quick and friendly, and although it was a full house on a Saturday night the quality of food was impeccable. The bacon-wrapped dates were savory and the Mexican street corn was SO flavorful. We ordered the pork chops and the Korean fried chicken which were on point with their flavors and temperature. But the best part was the dessert which was one of the best chocolatey churro bread pudding and ice cream we’ve ever had. Parking was a little limited and if you’re going on a Saturday night I recommend making a reservation!
Awesome service and food. Laurie is attentive and engaging. We will return for more great eats. Many innovative menu items. The Asian style ribs shined for me- I would say the best in South Florida. We all should support local eateries and especially the ones that stand tall.
Service was amazing..best I've had since moving to south florida, from the west coast and that menu was absolutely everything I needed...the wine selection was on point, and the servers were actually very knowledgeable about it all! Highly recommend in the coral springs area dining and definitely worth a drive to experience.
If I could give 6 stars, I would! Had an amazing dinner last night! Everything was on point! Food was top notch and delicious! Service was wonderful. Our waiter seemed to know exactly when to approach us and when to let us enjoy our experience. Menu has significantly expanded since their opening 9 years ago. Place is a local gem! Bonus that the owners so kindly came by to check on us! We’ll be back!!
We finally decided to go to The Cook and The Cork and boy it did not disappoint. I had the Pappardelle Bolognese and my husband had the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and it was delicious. The pasta was full of flavor and the sauce was just right. The KFC was an explosion of flavors that paired perfectly. Our server Jordan was great too. Very attentive and easy going. We will definitely come back and bring some friends. The wine that Jordan recommended was smooth and tasty and the Nigori Sake was my husband’s favorite. We love that this little hidden gem is right in our backyard.
Had a great dinner with a friend the other night. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was intimate and our server, Jordan was very attentive and made excellent recommendations!
We will definitely come back again soon!
The Cook and the Cork is a great place to eat or just have a few drinks and small plates. The staff is great and very friendly and knowledgeable about wine and pairing.
The owners are super sweet and appreciative. The service was fast and very friendly and organized.
The chef sent out some small plates for us Gnocchi in butter sauce and fried Chrysanthemum Leaves and some type of Fritters which were really delicious! Btw they were not on the menu. I think he was testing them out. We didn't take pics of the food... why? Because we were stupid! But the pics of the empty plate should say it all..
The woman's bathroom smelt so good and was beautifully decorated... then I was told to go in the men's rm and they was a pot for a sink.. I thought that was great! But anyway, should you want a nice quaint place to go to in Coral Springs then you should go to the Cook and the Cork!
Came in with my husband the day after thanksgiving and we were not disappointed. We’ve passed by this place many times and glad we decided to give it a try. The service was great and the food absolutely amazing and full of flavor. I would definitely recommend the home made chips as well as the octopus. The menu has a lot of variety and there’s something there for everyone. Will definitely be coming back
What a hidden gem here in Coral Springs! Stopped in tonight for a gift card and ended up sitting at the bar for the most unique, enchanting impromptu dinner. The owners Dena and Chef Keith are the most gracious and generous hosts. My husband and I had one of the most amazing dinners of our lives! If you have not been, you are totally missing out. Run don’t walk to dinner at “Cook and the Cork” you will not regret it! I promise you!
Came here for date night with my wife. The place is small and at the end of a shopping center but once inside it has a nice dim lit date night ambiance. Jordan was out server and he was knowledgeable and polite. The sangria was tasty and all of the food was delicious. That includes the bacon wrapped dates, potato chips w/onion & bacon dip, shrimp and crawfish cakes and the Korean fried chicken. For dessert, we had the key lime pie which was fine. We'll be back to try some other items on theirs menu like the short rib.
