“The Mac and cheese balls are delicious as well as the shirt steak – however, there has never been a dish there that I have not liked .”
“The happy hour is also great — great sangria and happy hour food specials ( the croquettes are to die for).”
“The happy hour up until 7pm offers a great list of sangria ($4), wines ($6) and delicious tapas that seemed to be of decent portion sizes.”

Chill atmosphere and fitting decoration.
Upon walking in you'll see the bar which has some seating. Further in you'll see high tables with wine bottles on the racks as dividers. And then on the side there are tables with one side that's bench seating.
I got the wine flight ($20 for three). The list to choose from isn't extensive, but I'm not super picky so it fine. They bring out on a three tier wine rack and pour each glass in front of you, so that was fun!
My friend got mac and cheese balls (four on a plate) and they were delicious!
They also have beer flights ($10 for four).
This was my third time here and I'd definitely come again!
The tapas here is an incredible value, and tastes delicious. I don't know how this place isn't more busy than it is! You can get Spanish inspired plates and beverages at a decent price. The employees are very friendly and willing to explain anything on the menu. The atmosphere is adorable, very romantic and whimsical, and the bar is very eye-catching. They have a good deal on local oysters during happy hour. I recommend the mussels, spinach croquetas, and the spicy chorizo. And, of course, the sangria is legit. Definitely a place to check out in EV!
Came here to do happy hour and dinner for two of my friend's birthdays. You could make reservations through yelp or opentable so that was easy enough.
They have a pretty good happy hour 7 days a week from 4-7. I chose this place because they not only have drink special but also have food specials.
Drinks are pretty standard but the service was pretty good, granted we were the only ones in the place for probably 2 hours. It does get really busy for dinner though around 7:30pm on a Saturday.
We didn't end up eating dinner here since a few of our party arrived late, but we did take advantage of the happy hour specials for 2 hours… The patatas bravas were alright, could use a bit more sauce. The croquettes and mac and cheese balls were quite good. The vegetable spring rolls, well it definitely taste exactly like the frozen kind that I bake in my toaster oven… They didn't have clams available that day, but had a decent selection of oysters, they were a bit gritty though, but all in all not bad.
Cork 'n Fork has an uncanny resemblance to one of my favorite UES wine/tapas bars, Pil Pil. Hmmm…
Regardless, a cute option for happy hour, a first date, or enjoying some tapas.
We ordered:
-The garlic shrimp: loved by both of us. There was roasted garlic in the buttery sauce, and the shrimp were not overcooked.
-Chorizo: not our favorite, but still yummy.
-Chicken Quesadilla: was not expecting much with this one, but it was our absolute favorite! I think I would come back just for the quesadilla. Super flavorful and generously-sized. Also very reasonably priced during happy hour.
Speaking of happy hour, check out their specials for both drinks and food. We will be back!
I stumbled on this place when I was standing across the street wanting a glass of wine, which was a lucky moment that was meant to be.
The atmosphere here is very nice. It is your ideal wine bar atmosphere without being pretentious. Definitely a great date spot, place to go with friends, or a place to grab a glass of wine at the bar.
They do have happy hour that has half off some wines. I would go back for that!
Also, if you like rose, get the Abadal Rose. It's pricey, but it's delicious.
I truly wanted to like this place. From the moment I walked in, I loved the choice of colored wine bottles and wood interiors. Tapas/small plates restaurants have always impressed me before. This fell way below my expectations. We made a reservation in case, but when we arrived for 1pm brunch, the place had only one other group there.
We opted for the Tapas style brunch. You only have 3 options- A, B, C which comes as a set meal of three items. We ordered one of each for the three of us to share. Food was mediocre and did not have enough flavor. Nothing really stood out to me, even the Kir Royal and Bellini were unsatisfactory. What a disappointing first experience.
So I went to see a play nearby and we came here after to grab some dinner and drinks. One of the girls I was with said they had really good food so our group went to give it a try. There was ten of us I believe and they accommodated us immediately which was great.
I get it, we were a large group and its sometimes hard to keep up with that many people and their orders. What I don't get is why one waitress was working lol I didn't seem to see any other server there so yea, she had a lot to handle. It was a Friday night so I would assume more people would be working. I dunno lol So some things we ordered were forgotten and had to be asked for more than once. They also had the AC on way too high and it was blowing directly on our table. I had asked for it to be turned down or away from us but nothing was done about it. But whatever- it happens lol
The place is pretty small but it's very cozy and I do like the atmosphere! It's dim and gentle. I gotta say- the food was amazing! I ordered the skirt steak with seasoned fries- and it was fantastic! Whatever seasoning they put on the steak was awesome. I'd definitely go back here and try some more dishes.
I came here for HH while waiting on a friend to finish up work. I got their HH specials of white wine – delicious! $6 for machego and you get 4 big pieces, $6 of their Butifara which had a spicy kick to it and you get plenty of slices. Additionally you get bread, olives, and some grapes – it's a great deal for $12!! I then tried the white sangria which was crisp and only $4. Great place for HH specials and the staff is super friendly and attentive as well!
