   Cork Dork is one of our favorite restaurants! Excellent every time! Last night we had the pate & dates appetizer, short rib & grilled branzino, granache cake with hazelnut, all were delicious! We had the pleasure of meeting Chef Danny, he & his team are fantastic! If you haven’t been, we highly recommend!

   Cork Dork – A Wine Lover’s Haven in Westlake Village A true gem in Westlake Village, Cork Dork is a must-visit for foodies and wine lovers alike. We’ve dined here many times, and it remains one of our favorite local restaurants—for good reason. The Experience Cork Dork effortlessly blends charm, warmth, and an elevated dining experience. The ambiance is inviting yet sophisticated, with a passionate focus on wine that sets it apart from other spots in the area. What truly makes Cork Dork stand out is that it’s the only place that offers 2oz pours of some of the finest, most exclusive wines—a dream for those who love to sip and savor the best without committing to a full glass. The Food Every dish we ordered was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully executed: 🍴 Charred Carrots – smoky, sweet, and full of depth 🍴 Creekstone Farms Short Rib – fall-apart tender, rich, and indulgent 🍴 Grilled Branzino – light, flavorful, and perfectly cooked 🍴 Prime Skirt Steak – juicy, expertly seasoned, and seared to perfection 🍴 Smokey Gem Salad – crisp, fresh, with just the right amount of charred goodness 🍴 Sweet Potato Gnocchi – pillowy soft, with a hint of sweetness balanced by savory flavors 🍴 Crispy Cauliflower – golden and crunchy, a must-try appetizer 🍴 Truffle Fries – addictively crispy with just the right amount of truffle essence 🍴 The Dork Burger – a perfectly executed burger, juicy and packed with flavor The Wine With a stellar wine list, we indulged in some truly exceptional selections: 🍷 Handwritten Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley – bold, structured, and beautifully layered 🍷 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley – deep, rich, and impeccably balanced 🍷 Veratone by Alto Moncayo – a stunning Garnacha with complexity and spice 🍷 Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Ten – velvety, expressive, and simply exquisite Final Thoughts If you love impeccably curated wines, top-tier food, and a welcoming yet upscale atmosphere, Cork Dork is a must-visit.

   Our service was fine, but they started cleaning up and getting ready for the next day when we hadn’t even ordered our meal. It turned us off and we felt rushed. They were asking us about dessert before we even got our food and that also made us feel very Rushed to finish. And they sat us next to a refrigerator which we didn’t enjoy.  I’ll go back and give it another try but my boyfriend will not.

    We started with their house wine, which was really outstanding for the price point. We had the truffle fries as suggested by the menu, and a couple of salads. Moving onto the main course we thought that the harissa chicken and the braised beef dishes were really great. Definitely will come back. There is a $40 corkage fee in case you want to bring your own wine, but they do have a really decent variety of wines at reasonable prices I’m actually looking forward to doing the chef’s tasting menu, paired!!!
