Cork And Natural Wine Shop - STOWE

I’m so glad we chose this spot while we were visiting Stowe! The interior is eclectic and cozy, the food is fantastic, and the wines were unique and amazing. I can’t remember our server’s name (long blonde hair, glasses) but she was super friendly and helpful as well when we had menu questions. We will be back!

Beyond disappointed in this dinner. Came for my birthday out of my parents generosity and my fiancé and I were ignored for about 3/4 of our meal. Appetizers were good but did not make up for the hour we sat between apps and entrees. Nobody checked up on us for about 40 minutes as we were sitting without water or wine and another 20 minutes went by after finally getting our glasses refilled before finally receiving our entrees. Other couples came and went before we finished our entrees and saw people receiving the same things we ordered who had ordered after us. The steak we ordered even ended up over cooked. The food overall was not worth the wait. Throughout the meal although the delay was acknowledged it took awhile to receive our food.

Amazing place and service! It was so hard to make a reservation but I’m glad we were able to go.

Oh, what could have been…Let’s get the single quality part of the Cork experience out of the way: the bartender was nice and knowledgeable. Now, let’s move onto the massive disappointment that was dinner at Cork. First, one expects flavor when one eats at a restaurant. This was seemingly lost on the kitchen at Cork. Second, our server performed a disappearing act only to be rivaled by Las Vegas magicians. I would have enjoyed a second glass of water to pair with my dry meal. Sigh. Third, to reserve a table at Cork you must be prepared to pay a $25 surcharge if you cancel too late…this begins the trend of “overpriced, underdelivered” that is the lifeblood of Cork and their $30 gnocchi that was nothing more than bland potatoes lumps drowning in a white water that once was ricotta. Sigh. Didn’t have dessert, but you can guess why.TLDR: bartender great, don’t eat here.

Good food, but ridiculously overpriced weine and dishes. my glass was half the size of the other tables and twice the price because it should be exceptional. that's not worth me. they answered all our glasses are 6 ounces, regardless of price which is completely untrue in my case. both have half glasses for the full price.
