We accidentally found Cork earlier this year and planned a stop on our road trip to go a 2nd time and we’ll be back again. The food and service was fantastic.

Stopped for dinner before the Brad Williams show at the FM Kirby center last night. The Down Pour was amazing! The atmosphere was very fun and classy. The staff was very friendly, our server Sydnee was adorable, and the food was delicious. We started with maple cranberry brussel sprouts. My wife had a Korean cheesesteak and sweet potato fries and I ordered the DFC bowl. My wife drank Flower Power IPA and I washed down my meal with a double chocolate milk stout. If you haven't been here, definitely check it out!

We came for the $39 “Steak on the Lake” offer. We are from Florida and everything was amazing. The Pumpkin dessert shot was one of the best we have ever had. All of the staff were amazing. They gave us all the time in the world to eat. The decor was amazing and just felt so sophisticated yet Homie.

Phenomenal experience and a great way to celebrate our anniversary. A little pricy, but everything was top notch, so you don’t mind paying for the experience when it’s a special occasion. Loved it.
