We had such a great time at Cork Restaurant when celebrating a friends’ birthday. The vibes are great, it’s comfortable and fun — perfect for a date night, going out with friends, or just grabbing a great cocktail or unique glass of wine. The food was 10/10 — I could tell a lot of the menu is local, seasonal, and very intentional. A true hidden gem you should add to your itinerary when visiting Stowe! I will definitely be back.

We really loved our dinner here! Everything on the menu looked so good and everything we did order was great. We believed the prices were too steep for what it was. That being said, the food was delicious, fresh and unique. It was our favorite food that we ate while in Stowe. Our server was super sweet, but I think they need more help. We waited quite a while to order drinks and to receive them. A party next to us ended up leaving because they had waited a while and no one had been over. Some things to improve on.. but would recommend on the food and wine selection alone!!

Fantastic spot for a nice dinner out. The atmosphere is very cozy and modern, the wine selection is extensive, and the food is incredible. Obviously Stowe prices are somewhat high, but it was well worth it. Loved everything we consumed here and the wine shop also had a great selection.

An upscale yet chill culinary gem From the moment we walked into Cork, we were struck by the atmosphere—sophisticated yet laid-back, with a cozy, upscale vibe that instantly set the tone for an incredible dining experience. We kicked things off with an order of wings and fries. Now, let me tell you—my wife, who has tried fries all over the world, declared these the best fries she’s ever had. Perfectly crispy, flavorful, and unforgettable. Next came the fried cauliflower, which turned out to be the highlight of the night. The batter was perfectly seasoned, and it came with a savory gravy infused with curry leaves and coconut milk that tied everything together beautifully. It was a showstopper. We also tried the Seabass Belly, a dish we’d never encountered before—essentially the belly of the fish, battered and fried to golden perfection. But what truly stole the show was the salad underneath. It was so flavorful that even my wife, who never eats salad, went back for seconds. That says everything. I went for the dry-aged steak (medium rare), and it was absolutely on point—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. We paired it with a side of mashed potatoes, which were rustic and hearty. Not overly processed, these mashed potatoes were slightly chunky and incredibly satisfying. Service was equally impressive. Our server was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the evening, making us feel well taken care of without being intrusive. Though we didn’t get a chance to try dessert (we were completely full!), the chocolate item on the menu looked very tempting. Whether you’re stopping through Stowe or staying a while, Cork is a must-visit. Make a reservation, treat yourself to a cocktail at the bar, and enjoy what might be one of the best meals you’ll have in Vermont.

Such a cozy spot with amazing food and hospitality. If you’re looking for a standout dinner or even just a drink at the bar, this is the spot! The Tagliatelle was fantastic, and everyone else in my party loved their meals too. Don’t skip dessert - I can’t stop thinking about the berry cobbler!

Definitely not your average wine bar....its above average! The atmosphere, staff, and food were all outstanding. The pork schnitzel was amazing. Be sure to make a reservation- seating is limited and they had to turn a number of people away on the Friday night we were there.

This little gem in Stowe is the place to be! Cork exudes charm with its cozy ambiance, delectable food, and a vibrant bar scene that makes every visit special. The natural wine selection is exceptional and unique, and the knowledgeable, friendly staff will help you with recommendations for drinks or food! Owned by a local woman (ex-ski racers), Cork delivers an authentic local vibe with the sophistication and style of a big city. On this visit, I enjoyed a perfectly cooked, locally-sourced burger paired with two glasses of natural wine—bonus points for no hangover! Sitting at the bar, I had a great time chatting with staff and fellow patrons. Other times, I’ve dressed up for more formal occasions and indulged in oysters, a hero main like duck, steak, or salmon with mouthwatering sides, making milestones like birthdays and reunions extra memorable. And here’s the cherry on top: you can grab a bottle of wine for a nightcap or tomorrow’s apres at home! Cork is perfect for any occasion—casual or celebratory. Strongly recommend!

I have been dying to try this restaurant and I finally got in! It’s a cozy place! Perfect for a date night! We love restaurants that have small plates so we can try different things. My husband had the yuzu soda and they had mocktail options. The wine selection was solid. For food, the Brussel sprouts were awesome. The flavor of miso was pronounced and loved the acid. The pork belly was cooked perfectly and crunchy. The hummus and fried chicken was an interesting combination, but it needed acid, heat, or salt. It was tasty, but needed more. The short rib was cooked perfectly and so earthy with the black garlic sauce. The service was excellent too. We ended with the cobbler for my husband and whiskey for me. We sat at the bar. Overall it was perfect date night and will definitely be back.
