The ambience was cute and I loved the fresh flowers everywhere, I thought it was a beautiful touch! Lots of seating options -- tables, bar top, and comfy options like couches and cushy seats. The food was great, we got a shareable spread that came with 3 different dips and 3 different crackers/breads and all were very tasty. I also got a snack topper, its like a mini charcuterie board on top of your wine glass. I've never seen it anywhere else but I was obsessed and it was delicious, they even change up the meats/cheeses weekly! I suppose I should mention the wine, with the place being a wine bar and all. Great selection, lots of options! You're sure to find something you like!!! Such a pleasant experience all around, can't wait to go back!

I ordered the crispy cauliflower app which was delish! Don't let the raisins sway your decision - it's suttle but just right with the cauli. They add a romesco sauce that's flavorful add capers to add the salty goodness. Loved this! I also ordered the meatball app which was plenty. They were perfect size and more than enough for two. The sauce was rich and bold with flavor and a sprinkle of goat cheese was just right. I will return and try a few more apps next time.

The food was pretty good. I started with the tortellini soup and had the French toast from the Brunch menu. For drinks, I tried the pineapple mimosa, but it was warm, which really affected the flavor. I also ordered an espresso martini, and unfortunately it had an artificial taste that I would not recommend, especially for the price. One issue we ran into was the number of flies around our table. Even though we were seated inside, there were several constantly circling, and one ended up landing in my water. Our waitress tried to help, but the problem continued. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the service, but I would come back for the food only and not for the drinks.

The fascade of the wine bar is hidden so be sure you don't walk by the "barber shop" when you're looking to get in.

I recommend a nice tinned fish, giant beans, and the chocolate budino for dessert! The vibes are dark, hip, with an outdoor seating option as well. All in all, a cool destination to check out some fantastic wines.

Growing up in the South, I've had my fill of the same kinds of restaurants, so finding a place like Cork has been such a breath of fresh air. Cork is truly special for New Bern. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, the service is consistently exceptional, and the hospitality makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The wine list is carefully curated, with perfect pairings for every appetizer and entrée, making the entire dining experience unforgettable. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an amazing meal, Cork Wine Bar & Bistro is a place you'll want to come back to again and again. New Bern is lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber.

I went because that sounded really good. Pro Tip: They only sell lobster rolls on Sunday. It appears food cost are rising and the orders don't fully justify the expense in the customers eyes. The menu still looked good so I stayed. Olivia was my server and she was great. Super knowledgeable about the menu with great suggestions. I wanted the brussel sprouts but was a little reluctant because of the beets. She said it was good and give it a try. I glad I did what a treat. The brussels were lightly fried. The real treat was the flavor profile. The bitterness of the brussels, pickled sweetness of the beets, creaminess of the goat cheese with the crunch of the pecans....wow. So good and it was lightly dressed with the pickling liquid. I went with the jerk salmon for the entree. The salmon was cooked perfect and had a nice crust on it. It was served with a citrus (mango forward) salsa on top of jasmine coconut rice. It is all a great idea and the combo was good. Only feedback was the red bell peppers seemed out of place and took away from the dish and the jasmine rice was a little too bland. I could taste the hint of coconut which was good but some seasoning or a touch of salt on the rice would have paired great with the salmon and orange glaze. Over a gem in New Bern with great service.
