I'm pretty sure this place closed. I don't understand the hype. Tiny, overpriced, burned, pretentious servings. You shouldn't spend that much money and leave hungry.

Great small plates to share at happy hour with a well made cocktail. Hats off to both the chefs and bartenders. Recommend the whipped ricotta.

This Cork and Fork is permanently closed. It was bought and will reopen in the spring as a Mediterranean restaurant. I will miss having it on the West Shore but it's worth the trip into Harrisburg to visit the location there.

We had 4:45 reservations and arrived on time to find you have to walk up a steep set of stairs to get to your table. Not ideal for and 86 year old person you are treating to a holiday dinner. Got sat on the first floor instead. Fine but very loud with the bar so close. It took quite awhile for us to get our drinks, though it was not very crowded. We waited patiently.Giving 3 stars because the food was delicious. Pastas, Brussels sprouts, pizza and egg plant, all excellent! Would be 5 for food but read on for the 3 star review.How they have no beer taps is beyond me. So many local breweries and not one tap? They were out of the first canned beer we ordered. Celebration by Sierra Nevada. It took a long time for the server to relay this to us. The other options were not even comparable. The Wi-Fi and internet were down so they brought out dinner before appetizers, ugh. However, kind of made up for it by bringing us 2nd drink on the house because they accidentally made/opened double. The real reason for the 3 star (probably should be less than 3 stars), they proceeded to tell us at 6:10 they had a 6:15 reservation for our table…really?!? This was not cool even if it were the truth, plenty of open tables near us and up the steep stairs. We were finishing our drinks then heading out anyway, so rushing us was rude and just poor customer service. Not sure if we would go back, the food was great, too bad the rest of the experience just plain sucked.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options.

I have met with a few friends for drinks and dinner. We had a reservation, and we were seated right away. Unlike my other visits, the service was extremely poor. When the waiter admitted to bringing the wrong item out and just placing it on the table, she never offered to bring the requested entree. When I asked for my friends' food to be reimbursed since she got pizza and ordered risotto, she rolled her eyes. I used to love going here, and the last few times, the service hasn't been great.

We stopped in here to have a drink at the bar to kill some time. It has a really nice ambiance and the menu looked appealing. However there was a weird smell throughout. As we sat at the bar sipping our well made drinks, we opted to leave after just one because the smell was so strong and bad.

Good drinks and good food in a relaxed upscale environment. The Fall Sour was very tasty. No Martinis or Coronas though, unfortunately.

We went to cork and fork Osteria to celebrate and had a wonderful time. I was really excited to try the new menu item "sausage and beans" and it did not disappoint! The flavors are complex and unexpected while being delicious. I also tried a bite of my husbands burger and our "chaperone's" spaghetti which was phenomenal. We were seated upstairs which was really lovely and a first for us. Much less noisy and we loved the view. Our server was attentive and even good with our toddler (who doesn't like most people).

Sat at the bar and had dinner during a business trip. I had a beet salad, pappardelle, cheesecake and a glass of Chianti. Great food and service. Highly recommend.

The food didn't suck, the service did. Pizza's were okay, the Brussels sprouts were too soft, and the flavor wasn't great. They could've used a little more crunch and a lot less sauce. Service was subpar, waited almost 15 minutes just to put our drink order in, then the server asked us for our food order 3 times because they didn't write it down. We went for a friend's birthday because they like the place, I wasn't impressed and probably won't be back.
The food is good. Pizza and pasta are excellent, as are the cocktails.Had a small issue with service(misplaced one of our orders). But it was sorted out in short order and we were compt desert for our table, which was very nice.Our main issue was with noise, we had a hard time hearing our server, which may or may not have contributed to the order issue.Would definitely eat here again.

This used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, the quality seems to have tanked.The Brussel sprouts were a soggy mess, the beet salad was made with what seemed to be canned beets, not nice roasted beets, which is what I was expecting. Very unappetizing and bland. The scallops and risotto dish is no longer on the menu as a “small plate”, but is now a $32 entree. Why? Our waiter was very nice, and the outside seating was lovely. The food was disappointing.

Went here with my daughter and our boyfriends for a Saturday night date. I had made a reservation and we were seated promptly. The restaurant was moderately busy and I noticed several kids dressed for homecoming. I don't know how this might have impacted our visit. The biggest issue we experienced was slow service. Everything from cocktails to small plates, then dinner, not only took awhile to receive, but took a long time to even give our orders. The best thing we had was the sauteed octopus. That was cooked perfectly. The homemade pasta my boyfriend ordered was solid. Everything else was "good". The ambiance is great, clean restrooms, etc. The cocktails were fancy and slightly overpriced. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Won't go back.

Nice out side dining on a beautiful autumn day. Taking advantage of the last of good weather today to do that, so nice that they offer patio dining. Staff pleasant, helpful and were appropriate in their timely to always checking up and or offer their service. My Avocado Salad was delicious and filling but had the Funghi pizza too, which was just as good, but got cold rather quickly. I was told by my guest that the spaghetti was perfect and filling as well, with just the small plate order. The white sangria was refreshing but not thrilled with it being mostly ice. The interior of the restaurant had a nice modern bar motif, being clean and pleasing. The patio area was impressive too with paver stone block, railings encompassing it, and contemporary seating with patio umbrellas. Aside from the weak drink, I'd say the slightly higher prices were a little draw back. Still, I'd like to try it again some time. Kudos to the staff on a job well done!
