    A group of friends and I went here for their happy hour, and it didn't disappoint. The drink special was refreshing, and the food was tasty. The server was fast and pretty efficient. We had people arriving at different times, and she still handled herself well. The atmosphere was amazing, and I felt valued. I'm looking forward to trying them out again.

    My husband and I went here by recommendation of a friend. We did not regret the decision! We showed up earlier than our reservation and the hostess recommended we sit in the bar until our reservation time came up closer. The bar area was beautifully decorated and the ambiance was wonderful. Penny our server asked us if we were having dinner or just drinks. We were a little confused because we did not know the bar area was an option and when she explained it was, we opted to stay with her. She 1000% made it worth it. She pleasantly told us what the specials were and explained items we had questions on. Ultimately we decided on a steak, and shrimp/scallop risotto. For our sides we had mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. Everything was so AMAZING. The steak had the perfect smoke taste to it. The shrimp/scallops were cooked perfectly and the risotto a perfect creaminess. The sides were just as amazing. Even though we were pretty full we could not stop eating. I would highly recommend Cork and Bull and if given the opportunity sit in the bar with Penny!

    We live in Chesapeake and had been wondering how the food would be here, I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t have high expectations. The place was nice, and both the hostess and waitress were friendly. They even gave us complimentary shrimp tartare, which was a great touch. We ordered the surf and turf special and were beyond happy with both the steak and lobster. I don’t even usually like lobster, but this was really good. The steak was excellent, next time, I want to try the dry-aged. This meal was a celebration of a long year of hard work for our family!

    After my friend sent me this menu for our monthly girls night out, I was excited! We ate at Cork & Bull tonight… and it did not disappoint! The chef sent out a smoked salmon amuse-boucheI which was a perfect first bite! Our server was PRINCESS, she was great. I ordered the Seasonal Fruit Punch cocktail w/ Makers 42 and Berry Lemon drop! Both were great! I ordered the raw oysters for my appetizer, and the Surf & Turf for my Entree and an extra side the sweet potato casserole ! It EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATION! Dinner was a lil pricey but a steal for the amount of high quality meat and seafood they provide. I was impressed they give you a WHOLE LOBSTER, medium Filet steak and large scallops with a good portion of mashed potatoes and asparagus for an extremely reasonable price! Everything was cooked to perfection. We were so full we packed half to go and didn’t get desert this time! But will be back VERY SOON!

    We came to Cork and Bull to celebrate our anniversary, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Our server Kyle was outstanding. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive without ever feeling rushed. The 22 oz aged bone-in ribeye was hands down one of the best steaks I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth tender. We finished the night with their pumpkin pie cheesecake and a double chocolate cake, which were both rich, creamy, and the perfect fall desserts. From start to finish, the food, service, and atmosphere made it a memorable evening. Highly recommend Cork and Bull for any special occasion or if you just want an incredible meal done right.
