Food menu had lots of good choices for bigger entrees plus smaller plates. Waitress was awesome and she even had the owner come check on us bc we were new. Food was delicious-we had crab Brie dip, chicken pot pie which was best I ever had, and coconut rice/chicken. We also loved the bread pudding! Small space but really good vibe and live music on Friday night when we went. We will go again!

My guests have been so in love with the grilled veggie flatbread (though I imagine it'll be replaced due to ingredient availability) and the veggie cheese tortellini (same). Everything else is also amazing, but while I know we'll lose a few, I'm excited to see what new stuff is coming for Fall! Please ensure your newsletter or something let's us know when it's dropping 😁 Thanks for such a great experience Arlene, Todd and Chef Gordon !

My husband and his friend both got the rib eye. The price is really good and a big portion. They both said it was great. His wife got the rockfish almondine. She said it was so yummy. Jenna our waitress could not of been any more helpful. And was so sweet! We plan to come back next month!

Staff is always amenable, food is very good with consistent staples—which is why we have been Sunday breakfast patrons for years. Special note: the owner reads and responds to patrons’ concerns. Kudos to County Cork for aiming to please and done a great job of hitting the mark.

                                                                                    We have live entertainment every Friday and Saturday evenings. It is often one or two musicians playing acoustic guitars and usually classic rock is played. We start the music around 8:30-9:00 so as to not disturb the majority of diners. If we are still busy with a dinner crowd, I may start the music a little later and they will play til midnight or after.
