★★★★★ 5.0 Barbara Harris · Feb 2026

We had such fun! Loved the masks and beads, a super neat touch! The food was amazing. And the drinks were perfectly paired. I think my favorite dish of the night was jambalaya followed by the beignets. We especially want to give a big shout out to our wonderful, witty, friendly server Denise! She really took care of us!

Stumbled upon this hidden gem when looking for a place for dinner on a work trip. Our incredibly knowledgeable server Jake walked us through the menu and its highlights. From our appetizer to entree to dessert we were blown away. The beautifully fresh Ahi Tuna with pineapple salsa and seaweed salad was the perfect start. The Short Rib with Gorgonzola risotto was perfectly tender and balanced well with the flavorful risotto. We loved the Mediterranean Pork Loin with feta and mint risotto. And finished strong with a heavenly slice of Tiramisu. Denise our bartender was super sweet and added to the cheery atmosphere. This place is a must visit if you’re in Wilkes-Barre.

My daughter and I made a reservation at the bar for cocktails and dinner (Fri 12/19) and we were not disappointed! They have a great Happy Hour specials menu on cocktails as well as small plates. The bar area was cozy and Caitlin was so friendly and really made our night out so enjoyable! She is so personable, offered detailed descriptions of menu items and her cocktails were fantastic!! We both chose the French Onion soup and it was probably the best we've ever had. We also both chose the special for the night: a pan seared black infused filet with lobster truffle butter, topped with a red wine demi, served with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. It was AMAZING! We also shared the fried pickles from the happy hour menu, also delicious.

We came in on Valentine’s Day and was seated in the igloo. The atmosphere of the igloo was amazing and the service dedicated to the igloo reservations is 10/10. We had David and had an amazing time. He was always on point with food and drinks, i would highly recommend having him anytime you come into eat.

1st time ever to Cork. I never order meatloaf but I saw a picture on google and it looked good. So I went for the Kobe meatloaf. It was a huge portion and it was delicious. Maria had the cork salad with shrimp and she enjoyed that.
