This week we had an opportunity to go back to 63 Corks for the prime rib dinner. Absolutely amazing. Every bite was fantastic...this place never disappoints! Worth every penny and every minute. That's the key word: minutes. Don't rush this one. Give yourself the time to settle in and enjoy it. This isn't a get-in-get-out spot, and it shouldn't be. The food demands your full attention. If you can make the trip, do it. read more

Well, last week I re-visited my favorite restaurant in celebration for our daughter passing a certification exam. We started with the Bread Service which was a wonderful contrast to our last visit of the red cornbread. It wasn't a typical Focaccia as it was a crusty mini bread loaf topped with a sea salt I believe. The butter seemed standard noting it was listed as cultured sea salt butter;however the Housemade Ricotta, Strawberry Red Pepper Jam in the mini jar was spectacular. I didn't find any notes of strawberries but it had cherry tomatoes, whole garlic and olive oil in it. We weren't asked for our drinks request so we stuck with water(small oversight). Interestingly, our server came back to our table and said that she didn't have the beer available that I wanted. First, I never ordered a beer and not asked and second, I don't drink. So now, our appetizers arrive. The Carolina Squash Blossom was okay, but I'll pass as the crunchy texture was odd and there wasn't much blue crab present. The Calamari Fritti was definitely not popular with my family. The dish included Jimmy Red Corn Meal Dusted Crisp Calamari & Fried Green Tomatoes, Crumbled Goat Cheese, Crisp Ramps, Calabrian Chili-Sorghum Aioli. Despite the appealing ingredients the dish really lacked seasoning and salt. My grilled 16 oz bone in pork chop came pre-sliced which I've never had done with a pork chop but plated well. It came with purple cabbage purée and a sweet and sour root vegetable that tasted just like mashed sweet potatoes. The dish included ramps that seemed fried but really not edible. The application of this wild leek didn't seem to fit the dish as it was very coarse. My wife enjoyed her New York Strip Steak topped with Rock Lobster and a side of Gnocchi & Parmesan Crème. My college daughter ordered the New York Strip Steak also but her was extremely over salted. They re-fired a slightly smaller steak and that came out perfect and delivered by the Chef apologizing. Service recovery goes a long way and they redeemed themselves with dessert. Thanks for converting my opinion as 50% of my review and experience is based on service and or service recovery. We will be back definitely. read more

Decided to check out the new version of Shy Cellars. They made sure we understood that 63 Corks is not associated in any way with Shy. Okay then. We had a lovely time though we weren't thrilled about sitting in the tiny side room at the tiny 4-person bar with our backs to the room...it felt cramped. Our server helped us choose the perfect bottle of wine from an extensive collection. The apples and rice appetizer was excellent..like arancini balls. My husband had the duck and liked it. I had the lumache which was just ok. The pasta was a little too al dente and the large clumsy shells didn't seem like the right shape for the delicate dish. It was supposed to come with shrimp, but surprise...nope! It came with lobster. I find lobster a bit sweet and thought shrimp would have worked better. This girl is usually in the clean plate club when it comes to pasta and seafood dishes but not tonight. I will say that the dessert alone was worth the one hour drive.. the smoked smores arrived with a bell jar of smoke which the server whisked off to reveal a delectable gooey to-die-for cake smothered in caramel and marshmallow. Did I mention it came with two cups of hot white chocolate to pour over the whole thing? Omg..drool-worthy. read more

Last night at 63 Corks was nothing short of exceptional. From the first bite to the last, everything felt thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and full of life. The farm-to-fork approach truly shines in every dish. The king salmon and summer Marea were, without question, the best my husband and I have ever had. Each bite delivered a perfect harmony of flavors that felt both vibrant and refreshing. The bread service, especially the focaccia, was outstanding, and the crispy cauliflower was another standout. Every dish felt creative, fresh, and beautifully executed. Pat, our amazing server, made every part of dinner a pleasure. From the hostess to Chef Nathan and the dessert team, every interaction added to the experience. For a little while, we were able to forget the chaos of the outside world and just exist in a small bubble of incredible food, wonderful people, and a genuinely memorable read more

There are very few places I go, where I'm almost 100% confident my meal will be out of this world. 63 Corks is one of those places. Just visited for a fifth or sixth time, and decided to finally crank out a review. Stopped in on a Saturday night, and the place was hopping. Was there for my birthday, so they seated us at the Chef's table when they found out. Didn't request it, so getting it was a really nice surprise! For starters we did a glass of cab (9/10), and one of their house whiskey cocktails with Buffalo Trace, an apple slice, cinnamon stick, simple syrup and bitters (8/10). Like a slightly spiced Old Fashioned. We also ordered the "Ohio Hot" Fall Calamari ($16). It was Crisp Porcini Mushroom Dusted Calamari, Roasted Butternut & Sweet Potato Hash, Pumpkin Seed Chili Crisp, with Maple Hot Honey. What a symphony of flavor. The calamari was crispy and lightly battered, with good seasoning and crunch. The hash and chili crisp were the perfect compliment. The maple hot honey gave it a hint of sweet, with more than a hint of spicy. One of the better starters I've ever had (9.5/10). For mains we had the Appalachian Wagyu Beef Cheeks ($38), and the Autumn Duck Breast ($36). The beef came with Apple & brandy braised wagyu beef cheeks, smoked whipped potatoes, sweet & sour root vegetables, and crisp parsnips, with a red-eye demi-glace. The beef was the most tender I've ever had in a dish like this. No knife needed. Just fell apart and melted. The whipped potatoes gave a nice balance, and the crisp parsnips had just enough starch and crunch to tie everything together perfectly (8.5/10). The second main featured a Smoked maple seared hudson valley duck breast (medium rare), sweet potato & duck confit farro, wilted fall greens & candied turnips, and apple chutney, with pomegranate glaze. I'd never had farro before. It's a whole grain wheat, kind of similar in look to barley, but tastes more nutty. With sweet potato chunks and duck confit mixed in, it was absolutely *phenomenal*. The turnips, which I wasn't looking forward to, were also somehow delicious. Chef is a magician back there. The duck was cooked perfectly, with the fat still in tact. Really happy with this decision (9.5/10). Weren't going to get dessert, but the pastry chef we'd been seated in front of all night talked us into the Chocolate Mocha Crème Brûlée ($11). Thank god he did, because, wow. I've had a lot of traditional crème brûlée in my day. My first venture into chocolate was unreal. Caramelized sugar on top of a downright decadent chocolate custard with just the right amount of espresso flavoring. Topped with house made whip and two chocolates shaped into "coffee beans". Couldn't have asked for a better end to an outstanding birthday dinner. Service has always been top notch. It's fine dining, but the servers feel like family. It's never felt stuffy or sterile, which some "fine dining" tends to do. If you're anywhere in northeast, or even east central, Ohio; "63 Corks" is worth the drive. You don't want to miss this place. Trust me. read more

The service and food were fantastic. I'm gluten- and dairy-free, and our server went out of their way to review the menu with me and point out dishes I could enjoy. My husband, who doesn't have dietary restrictions, loved his meal as well. The food was incredibly fresh, unique, and clearly made with care. The whole experience felt like a true labor of love. Our server was kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful, which made the experience even better. The lighting created a moody, intimate atmosphere that made the evening feel special. Such a lovely addition to our community. Can't wait to come back! read more

First time here and we will be back. Positives: Super friendly staff! Our server Sally was great, very attentive, personable, and answered all questions. The dining room was intimate and included a view of the kitchen - michelin vibes getting to peek into the inner sanctum. The scallops were succulent and melted in your mouth. The trout saltimbucca was an complex blend of flavor and texture that made for a great dish. The seabass was perfectly crispy on the outside snd moist on the inside. Served on a bed of celery root mash, it made for a very tasty combo. Chef Nate personally recommended wine pairings that complimented each meal. Additionally the smoked S'mores dessert was amazing and came with a delicious hot white chocolate drink. Cons: The calamari while had a great flavor had some pieces that were super crispy and had a burnt onion ring feel. The soft pieces were amazing and if that was the majority of the dish it would have been perfect. Definitely recommend for a romantic date night or special occasion. read more

Wife and I were Lucky to get in this gem of a place ! We Heard about it in the afternoon and called until Ashley answered and explained they were pretty full but we could sit on the patio at 6:30. For future visits I will Be sure to call well in advance. Started with caprese beet salad with heirloom tomatoes. Light and flavorful. Many other appetizers to chooses from when we return. We chose a petit Syrah from McManis to pair with our dinner choices. I heard an adjacent table ask if they had anything they were "known" for; the server said no, but I have to believe going forward the 9185 pork chop dish will get consideration. Hands down best double pork chop I ever have had or possibly will have ! Perfect preparation and accompanied with wax beans and fingerling potatoes. My wife enjoyed her chicken breast over smoked mashed potatoes. We split a piece of the Bourbon Carmel Cheesecake to finish the evening. Ashley took fantastic care of us and I recommend asking for her when you visit. She's was knowledgeable and just the right amount of attentive. We are already looking forward to our next visit. read more

This is a hidden gem that I highly recommend!! read more

Every single dish was fabulous. We had the corn bread, mozzarella sticks, and elk meatballs appetizers. Strip steak and duck breast at the table, all wonderful. I had the wagyu beef cheeks.

Food was amazing, with unique items that are also locally grown. We didn't have a reservation, but we're still seated within 10 minutes.

Our waitress was Megan, who gave the best service I have experienced in a very long time. The interior is very open, and there is a small patio in front which looked excellent. read more

Meal: Bread Service, Winter Scallops, Bourbon Caramel Cheesecake Drink: Stella Rosa Red Timeframe: Dinner (reservation) I visited 63 corks with my best friend for our Christmas gift exchange. We had both been before but this is my first yelp review. The ambiance is wonderful, it's cozy, warm and inviting. I love the decor, very elegant with the fireplaces and I loved the seasonal decor. Our service was wonderful, both servers we had were attentive, funny and personable. The bread service was okay, ours was a little toasty for my liking but still tasted light and fluffy. The butter was awesome! My scallops were also a great meal as a whole bite! Dessert, as usual, was the favorite part of my experience, the cheesecake filing was creamy, the caramel sauce did have a hint of bourbon and the crust was tasty with what I think was pecans. Overall, I'd love to visit again, although might be a seasonal trip as it can be a little pricy! read more

My husband and I were staying in amish country this weekend. We were there for an early birthday/anniversary celebration. We decided we wanted something different for dinner than we have had there in the past. We drove the 25 minutes from our hotel to 63 corks. When we arrived it looked very different from what was inside. The restaurant is smaller, but cozy. We were seated in the wine room. It was us, and another couple seated in that room. We enjoyed being able to talk to each other without trying to talk over other patrons. Our waitress was very sweet, all of the waitresses were super friendly. I had the Ohio Primavera and my husband had the pork chops. Both were amazing! I tried a bit of his pork, it had sweet potatoes. I do not like sweet potatoes but their's was amazing! The couple next to us asked about the name of the restaurant. We were all touched by the reason for the name. For drinks I had the blueberry limoncello. It was a little strong so she fixed it for me. We also got some riesling that was amazing. At the end of the meal I got the s'mores dessert. It was so cool the way it was made. It was so amazing! We definitely will be back. Definitely not what we expected, but in a good way. read more

63 Corks - Wine Bars Near Me - Strasburg, Ohio

We had to revisit our favorite restaurant in our local-ish area, 63 Corks, to celebrate our 15th Wedding Anniversary. Their menu is seasonal, based on the availability of fresh, local ingredients, and we hadn't yet had the opportunity to try the Winter menu, which was in its final days. We started with the "Ohio Hot" Fall Calamari, which is Gluten Free and features Crisp Porcini Mushroom Dusted Calamari, Roasted Butternut & Sweet Potato Hash, Pumpkin Seed Chili Crisp, and Maple Hot Honey. Every bite delivered a new complexity of flavors. The calamari was perfectly cooked, and the flavors and textures were a fantastic start to a meal that would delight the sight, smell, and taste. When you eat at this restaurant, Chef Nate ensures that his creations have layers of surprising flavors with aromatics you can taste. The Porcini Mushrooms added an earthiness that complemented the rest of the dish incredibly well. Next up were our main dishes. The last time my husband ordered the 14 oz Ohio Strip Steak from their Reserved Cut Steak options, he declared it one of the best steaks he's ever had. Naturally, he opted for it again. Their steaks come with a choice of Side, Vegetable & One Sauce. The sauce choices include Red-Eye Demi Glace, House 63 Sauce, Apricot Whiskey Agrodolce, or a Trio of Accompanied Sauces. My husband chose Roasted Parm & Herb Fingerlings, Miller's Mushrooms & Onions, and the House 63 Sauce. I chose the Winter Scallops, another Gluten Free dish. The dish includes Jumbo Pan-Seared Scallops, Roasted Ohio Acorn Squash, Braised Creamed Kale, Apple Ginger Butter, and Pomegranate Apple Ginger Salsa. As with previous experiences, the scallops were cooked to absolute perfection--smooth as butter. Each meal at 63 Corks elicits involuntary audible sounds of pure culinary pleasure from me, and this was no different. Every bite was met with an "Mmmm" or an "Ohhhh." The imaginative flavor combinations were incredible, and the textures--the smooth, perfectly cooked scallops, velvety pureed acorn squash, creamed kale, and the crunchy bits of apples in the salsa--were fantastic. Though thoroughly satiated, we couldn't pass up one (or two) of their fabulous desserts. The seasonal Crème Brûlée is always a must, and on the Winter Menu, it was Chocolate Mocha Crème Brûlée, another Gluten Free option. Featuring Chocolate Mocha Custard, Salted Caramel, Housemade Kahlua Chocolate Candy, Torched Sugar, Whipped Chantilly, and Fresh Mint, the initial bite hits you with a decadent chocolate flavor, followed by a delightful crunch from the torched sugar--always a favorite addition of mine. Then, the lingering aroma and taste of coffee subtly but wonderfully settle on your palate. We also ordered the House Cheesecake, also Gluten Free. The Original 9185 House Cheesecake with a Candied Pecan Crust is available Plain or with toppings including Lemon Curd, Raspberry Curd, Bourbon Caramel, Chocolate Ganache, or Turtle Style. We wisely chose the Bourbon Caramel. I have never had a cheesecake that was both dense and light at the same time, but 63 Corks delivered. This was hands-down the best cheesecake I have ever had. The Bourbon Caramel paired with the pecan crust was a match made in heaven, a classic pairing of bourbon and pecan. Though we initially felt like we might be overindulging by ordering two desserts after such a filling meal, we were so glad we didn't opt out of our recurring favorite, the Crème Brûlée, and equally glad we tried the cheesecake for the first time. Do we have a new favorite? If not equally pleasing as the Crème Brûlée, the cheesecake comes in an extremely close second. We are very excited to see what Chef Nate will have cooked up for us on the upcoming Spring Menu. He gave us a peek by adding one dish to the Winter Menu just to tease and whet our appetites. Though we didn't try it, we were intrigued to find out more about what to expect. Beyond the extraordinary food, the service at 63 Corks is just as impeccable. The staff is well-trained, extremely attentive, friendly, and down to earth. They are always knowledgeable about the menu and feature offerings. This time around, we had the pleasure of having Sally as our server--she was such a delight and took excellent care of us. We always feel as if we are dining with friends when we visit. Due to the incredible menu and extraordinary dishes, reservations are a must. If you are local or local-ish to Strasburg, Ohio, you cannot miss this mind-blowing gem--one you wouldn't expect to find outside a major city. Even if you're not local, this place is well worth a road trip. read more

TLDR Version: Probably the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. They messed up on nearly every aspect of our visit. Full Version: I really hate to leave a review like this because I don't want to do any damage to a small business's reputation, but I also don't want anybody else to go in with high hopes, and have the kind of experience that I had. My wife and I are here for our 5th wedding anniversary. I was excited because I had seen some glowing reviews on TikTok, Google Reviews, Yelp, etc. The drive for us was about an hour, but I figured it'd be worth it to try something new and unique. I called ahead of time and arranged for a bouquet of flowers to be on the table when we arrived. Not only was there no bouquet, but our table was extremely uneven, and we were seated in the "wine room." This is where all the employees hang out, eat snacks, make drinks, ring in orders, print tickets, etc. We were seated directly next to where all of this was going on, and I felt like I was in their way the whole evening. The bouquet situation was never addressed. My wife ordered a wine flight, but instead of getting a nice labeled flight tray like everybody else, the server left each time she ordered a glass, and brought them individually to the table. My margarita was decent, but it was served in an oddly textured martini glass with a bunch of ice, making it difficult to drink. The "bread service" isn't bread service, but rather four slices of bread that you get one time. The tomato, oil, and cream cheese dip that looked so fresh and delicious online only had about four tomatoes in it, and the rest was just oil and cream. My wife's $43 filet mignon was burnt on the outside and severely undercooked on the inside (she ordered it medium rare, but it was almost inedibly raw). It wasn't tender like a filet should be, but tasted like a poorly cooked sirloin. The gnocchi that came on the side was a bowl of undercooked dough balls. The server was weird and unprofessional. Never gave us any kind of proper greeting, didn't seem to know anything about the menu, was constantly shouting to other people for help with every question, and on multiple occasions, tried to make ordering decisions on my wife's behalf. Two drinks, bread service, two meals, and one dessert was in the ballpark of $150. I would highly recommend spending your money elsewhere. In all fairness, the scallops were very good, and so were the doughnuts. Every other aspect of our visit was comically bad. We were genuinely laughing about how awful it was, especially for the price. In lieu of leaving a review like this, I reached out via the email address listed on their website under "contact us" over a week ago, and followed up a few days later, but I haven't heard anything back. read more

We we stopped in for dinner today the service was great. Karen did a very nice job of making us feel welcome and gave us great service. The food was overall great and will be back when I am in Ohio. It was a 4 hour drive for this and well worth it. The chef was very nice as well. The just change the menu two days ago and would try a lot of the items. It's definitely worth a stop. read more

Ate on the porch. Did not enter the restaurant. The porch is a very intimate, small area. Some road noise from passing vehicles is not objectionable at all. Service, attention, and help from numerous service folks was remarkably wonderful. They knew The details of how the food was prepared, and what to expect relative to taste. The staff was attentive and made us comfortable throughout the meal. We never felt that we were being rushed to finish eating and leave. The pace of service for the meal courses was comfortable We were invited to remain on the porch to enjoy the fire pit after we had eaten. The food was wonderfully prepared and well - presented. The menu and wine list contained a wide variety of items. A pleasurable dining experience! read more

The food was amazing, we started out with the bread service, meatballs, goat cheese squash blossoms. For the main plate I had a mouth watering filet cooked to perfection with garlic parm fingerlings and mushrooms and onions. The watermelon Mojito was fresh and delicious. Even though we were full we got dessert and I'm so glad we did. The s'more's cake rivaled any cake I've ever had, amazing! read more

This place is Ohio's best kept secret! My family recently dined here based on snipingfordom.com recommendation. The bread was really good. Unfortunately, not the same bread as in the review but was equally as good. The pork belly was really good but could have used a char on the outer ends to make it better. The scallops were first class and the sides under the scallops were what made the meal! I could eat that all day! My wife and daughter had the filet, which both stated are the best steaks they have ever had ( Ruth Chris has nothing on them). My oldest had the salmon which she said was good but not the best ever. The smoked s'mores desert was a cold piece of cake that would have been better hot. The white hot chocolate made it much better. Overall, this place was amazing and worth the 2 hour drive to get here. Plan on coming back! read more

Been quite awhile since we were there, hopefully they have improved. But our experience was not good enough to go back. All the entrees seemed to be in a bowl. Didn't seem like a meal! More like a bowl of soup. Were were an older group and were were seated on high stools, where our legs dangled in a back room where it was just big enough to file into. Not comfortable at all. Very costly for what we got! Have read better reviews and meal descriptions. Perhaps they have improved! Afraid to try again!!!! read more

Absolutely amazing must travel to and try place. My Fiance and I traveled from 6 hours away to have his 40th birthday dinner. It was amazing and so worth it! The chefs table was an experience to go for by itself! The food, ALL of it was incredible and my fiance eats at high end places while his work pays for dinner and trainings all over the US. This place holds a candle to what you would expect to have in a large city like Chicago with paying triple what you get charged here. It's a must try and we left so stuffed with leftovers. It was worth the gamble of trying to place we saw on TikTok and I'm so glad I chose for his birthday to be planned around traveling afar for top culinary artistry. read more
