The menu here changes frequently, so I can't help you if the dishes I'm raving about aren't available...but they may be again in the future. Possibly the best brussel sprouts I've ever had...the way they cooked them brought out levels of flavor that you just don't often find with this vegetable. Excellent elk dish Mussels. Yes. Make a reservation or you might not get in. read more

Lamb chops were amazing so delicious and perfectly cooked. The fillet was cooked perfectly as well and so tasty. The brussels sprouts were also very good. The beignets were light and fluffy a delightful ending. Our server was very friendly, attentive and well versed on the menu. My only concern was the limited number of restrooms available. It wasn't terribly busy and there was still a descent wait. read more

Food was terrible - the Brie, pollen and honey starter was atrocious, the crab and shrimp appetizer not worth $29 for 4 shrimp and a dollop of crab. Burrata salad was walnuts and cranberries with tasteless burrata. Pistachio crusted trout was tasteless and needed seasoning - the filet was ok but also needed some type of seasoning. Overall experience was a one. Afterwards, we went to Poblanos and had cheese dip. Don't understand why they are rated so highly read more

Fantastic dinner. Scallops were delicious! Great staff. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant!

It's been a year since we were here and of course it did not disappoint. The menu has changed and they took off my crab cakes was very sad indeed but everything was still delectable. Our server Trevor was on point and always cleaning our table and refilling our water. Each dish was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My taste buds were having a party. It was a fate night for us and it was special the whole time for us. We were seated towards the back which was somewhat closed of which wasn't bad and have us more privacy which we liked. Website was beautiful and tranquil. We will continue to come here for special occasions. read more

Service was horrible! Food was cold! Waited forever! We had a large group that they were prepared for. Wait time for cocktails was ridiculous. We had a set menu with limited choices - that's fine, but was made to believe we needed to order from each "category". After over 2 hours, we had not received our food. When we got it , it was cold. The sword fish-for those who ordered - was very fishy smelling. I think the most disappointing aspect of the evening was the lack of acknowledgment that they could have done better. They were very defensive about the situation. I will never ever ever go back. read more

Food, Service & Ambiance was 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for upscale dining experience in Augusta. I even got to customize my dish. I got the Elk with the tamarind eggplant which was from a different dish and the glaze paired so well with the wine (Caymus) and the elk over top. I will definitely come back. Spent 400$ but we got 24 oysters, full bottle Caymus, two desserts, 2 appetizers. 2 sets of palate cleansers inbetween courses and 2 main courses. I believe that's a really great deal in my opinion. It was my bf birthday also. read more

Cork And Flame - Barrata salad, pink moon oysters, surf appetizer - Tapas Bars Near Me - Evans, Georgia

Cork and Flame is where the FLAME is!! From the atmosphere, food , and service were top notch! Our server was very informative on the food and drinks selection and made sure we had what we need. Their food was amazing and do yourself a favor, ordered their wagyu dumplings, fillet, king salmon, and mouth watering melt in your mouth wild boar! They gave you palate cleanser after each meal and our family LOVED it! They have a wine celar for those wine lovers out there. We came during master (April- Spring Break) and they incorporate one of their ice cream (one of the palate cleanser) with the master theme local fruit special. Our family loved their dessert too and deconstructed apple pie is a must! If only I live close by, this restaurant will definitely be in our repeat place to eat! read more

Work Friends chose to have my Birthday dinner and CoWorker's Birthday dinner here. It was a group of 8. Pros: Ambiance is nice, pretty intimate. Customer Service was good. We had reservations and was seated timely. They provided Rosewater warm towels to clean our hands before eating. They also gave us a shot (non alcoholic) of something with pineapple and said it was to prepare our pallet for appetizers. It was really good. We also received a spoon of Raspberry Sorbet to get our pallet ready for dinner. It was also good. Mock-tail/Wine/Cocktails were good per everyone who ordered one. The shrimp appetizer was delicious. The Wedge Salad was delicious. The brick chicken was delicious. The salmon was THE BEST. The Pork Chop was good. The Bison was enjoyable. The Boar was not a hit! The desert was good, from the Deconstructed Apple Pie to the Crème Brûlée. They cleaned out pallet from all the food by providing Cotton Candy- it wasn't overly sweet. Just right to end the night. The cons: Slow Service, but we appreciated food cooked when ordered. Shared Bathroom, I went in after a male who left the seat up- that's crazy when I'm paying almost $100 for dinner. No refill on soda, but we did get refill on Tea. Dinner selection was limited. This was my second visit. My 1st visit was in exactly 2 years ago. I will come back, it's just not a place I will eat on a regular basis! The experience is worth at least one visit! read more

Our waiter Addison was super kind, and knowledgeable. The Maitre D was very kind and tried to compensate us for the dishes we had that were ruined. The front of house was great. Now for the food, it was horrible! Gamey tasting, undercooked bison, ice cold scallop and lobster add ons, over priced plain bread service. For a meal for 4, after tip was almost $600. Totally unacceptable, will not be back. The person working in the back was not a CHEF, I'd barely consider him/her a cook. The food we were served was literally a joke! The front of house deserved better! read more

Over priced, poor service, portions are too small. We waited too long for refills on beverages. The waiter left an empty tea glass on the table. You would think, she would remove when coming to table to deliver food! We sat at a table for two. So, no room for dirty dishes!. Two years ago, the waiter placed the napkins in your lap. Do not expect that anymore, the napkins are on your table. You would think being an upscale restaurant, they would do the little things to make you feel special! The scallops were very good, cooked to profession. read more

Amazing ambiance! Great for anniversary date night. Good service and of course amazing food. read more

I have been in Augusta for 3 years now and was always wanting to try Cork and Flame but never got to it. When I found out there was going to be a work event here, I was ecstatic. I ordered lobster bisque, bison steak, and chocolate pave for dessert with the Johnny Appleseed seed cocktail. Lobster Bisque (4/5): The lobster bisque was super rich and creamy with just a touch of brandy to lighten the dish. It had decent lobster flavor although I wish it could have had a few more pieces of lobster. My only other thing I would change in this dish would be for them to reduce the salt by a little bit. It was noticeably salty to me and I found myself needing to drink more, although with how much I enjoyed the Johnny Appleseed cocktail, it wasn't a problem. Bison (3.5/5): I ordered this dish as recommended by the waiter. The bison came medium rare along with a little bit of elote with charred corn, cotija and chimichurri overlying it all. The bison was a neat alternative to regular beef steaks. It was noticeably leaner though, making it much more chewy than beef steaks. Unlike the bisque it could have been just slightly saltier as well. The chimichurri added some acidity to it and was refreshing. The elote was a nice pairing. Although I am used to elotes with cream/butter and heavier on the cotija cheese, this had a nice clean taste. Chocolate Pave (5/5): I enjoy desserts that aren't too sweet and, if chocolate flavored, are more bitter and dark. This chocolate pave definitely met those criteria. It felt like they used a very high %cocoa chocolate to make this that was decadent and perfectly bitter. It was like a fancy, not overly sweet fudge. The raspberry sorbet was nice and tangy to balance out the chocolate pave. Overlying the pave, there was a chantilly cream that was lightly torched and this also helped balance out the heavy dark notes of the chocolate pave and added a soft foamy texture as well. Fantastic dessert that I would order again. I enjoyed the Johnny Appleseed cocktail. Refreshing apple and cinnamon flavor that was perfect for late fall/winter. Service was excellent here. Our waiter Thomas was very helpful with any questions we had and was very attentive. With the excellent service, the quaint ambiance, and the solid food options from appetizer to dessert, it's no wonder why cork and flame gets the great reputation it does in Augusta. I would definitely return in the future. read more

Cork and Flame is the top tier restaurant to come to for a fancy night out on the town. The restaurant itself is a perfect size for an intimate evening and the open kitchen gives you a welcoming feel to see what's going on. Our waiter, Paul, was so incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and specials as well as really created an elevated atmosphere for our dining experience. While the prices are higher for this restaurant (because it's a fancy place so not unheard of) you also get so many little touches with your experience : rose water cloth for your hands before the meal, honey two ways before you get started, raspberry sorbet palette cleanser, and cotton candy at the end which are included with the meal. Paul also made sure to check in at the proper times as well as take the crumbs off the table after every course. Bread was delightful and came with butter on top of pimento cheese spread. I had the market fish which was potato crusted trout, and the other person in my party had the boar ossobuco with risotto (which was off menu but we were so happy it was available). If you can get the boar, GET THE BOAR, I will dream about that boar. We also got the brussels sprouts which just melt in your mouth, they were amazing. We ended the evening with regular coffees, which came in a french press one for each of us, a cute little set up with our own creams and sugar. Overall food was amazing, atmosphere was wonderful, and shoutout to Paul and the chef for a top tier dining experience, it's really nice to have a place like this here in Evan's for special occasions. read more

Reservations: 5 Parking: 5 Customer service: 5 Quality of food: 5 Portion size: 5 Everything was impeccable from start to finish. It was another stop on our year long 30th anniversary year, and Cork & Flame didn't disappoint! If you are looking for a fantastic dining experience and great ambience, this is your place. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and welcoming inside, loved the decor thru out. We where seated with a sparkling glass of wine, this was a sweet surprise. Our waiter was a gem, he made our evening memorable and was very attentive at all times. Our courses came out in a timely manner, all the food was presented well, tasty and prepared with love. Remember they are a fine dining establishment, so the plates aren't large. We enjoyed salmon, the duo with vinixen, bison meals, with squash and rabbit dumpling soup, so yummy! Honestly we were well pleased with the portions and treats along the way. Our evening was indeed one to remember. I forgot to mention that we loved the small plated treats during the evening, we really enjoyed them all! And yes, that's hot Rosemary scented towels before our meal! We will be recommending you all and its a must for us to return in the near future! Tip: make reservations, they do have a large wine bar selections if your not wanting to eat a meal. Thanks to your amazing staff and Happy Holidays!!! read more

Awesome food, wine and dessert. The pork chop and greens were excellent. It's a bit pricey but all in all a pleasant and memorable evening.

I took my mom here while she was in town. We walked in on a Thursday evening without a reservation and were given a choice to be seated either in the wine market, the back patio, or the front patio. We asked for the back patio, and we were lucky enough to be the only party seated there! The ambiance of the back patio was wonderful, with flowers and string lights galore. We loved the privacy. The service was incredibly attentive, and our waitress was very polite and professional. We each ordered a mocktail, an appetizer, and a main. Detailed reviews: Creamsicle mocktail: Tastes like an orange and cream yogurt drink or melted ice cream, but less sweet. It's creamy and full of flavor. Mule mocktail: I forgot the exact name of this and am kicking myself for not taking a picture of the drink menu! It had some kind of berry, lime, ginger, and earl grey. It was EXTREMELY spicy and ginger-forward. It opens up the sinuses. Definitely not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it! We were given orange-scented hot towels and a "palate stimulator" that consisted of a mint jelly, some sort of aerated cream, and small tea-flavored bubbles on top. It tasted sweet, but not too sweet, and it was a great start to our dinner. Kangaroo: one of the best appetizers I've ever had in my life. The kangaroo was very thin, but I think that's a great way for it to be served. Literally every ingredient in the dish packed a bunch of flavor, even the tomatoes. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this dish, please don't skip it unless you have dietary restrictions! Escargot: This plate came after the Kangaroo and it was pretty good, but definitely skippable. The escargot wasn't too salty, and the melted butter was a nice touch. If you dip the bread into the butter, it tastes great! The vegetables weren't the best-tasting though. Maybe if I had this dish alone or before the Kangaroo, my opinion would be different. We were given a palate cleanser in between the appetizer and the main course: raspberry sorbet. The sorbet tasted fresh, and there were real raspberry chunks interspersed in the sorbet. Bison: ordered medium rare. great taste, especially with the chimichurri. Loved the sweet corn/elote with it! Not gamey at all. Only downside is that it's really chewy, but that's probably a characteristic of the bison itself. I'd recommend it as a main course! Wild Boar: extremely tender and comes still on the bone! It pretty much falls off the bone and comes apart even without needing a knife. The seasoning, vegetables, and rice were not as good as the seasoning and corn on the bison, in my opinion. But I really loved the tenderness and melt-in-your-mouth-ness of the boar. We did not order dessert because we were full from everything else. We even had to take our food to go because we were so full. We weren't given the iconic cotton candy at the end, but I think it's because we didn't order dessert. The entire experience was incredible, and it was my first time taking my mom to an upscale restaurant. She's somewhat of a picky person when it comes to food, but she was blown away by the food, service, and ambiance. I already had a high opinion of Cork and Flame prior to this, but this experience just enhanced my opinion even further. If you have the means to pay higher prices for dinner, this is definitely one of my top restaurants in Augusta. read more

I've been here multiple times for special occasions and regular dinners as well as brunch. No matter when I come the service is top notch. To me I think that is what sets it apart as a fine dining restaurant vs an expensive place to eat. Besides that, the food is great. Its one of the best places to eat in Augusta with a menu that changes every so often and has a few creative dishes on there. There are also exotic types of meat available if you choose to try them such as kangaroo and bison, elk, wild boar, just to name a few. My favorite things to get for the current menu right now are the scallops app and wild boar entree. The boar is so tender and the meat literally falls off the bone. You also get a huge portion as well. The honeyed carrots that come with the boar surprisingly stand out in a good way in the dish too. I always make it a point to get dessert here too. As you can see, the desserts are fun and tasty too. I tried the apple (very pretty) with mousse inside, and the deconstructed apple pie as well as the table side s'mores. The s'mores are so fun to have cause you can toast your marshmallow over the mini fire. And lastly I always look forward to the cute cotton candy tree. I am very happy that our town has such a great option for dining and great chef and staff. Looking forward to coming back again. read more

First off, the place was jam packed. Never seen it that way before. No place to sit even though we had a reservation. No problem. The three of us sat/stood at the bar. The bartender was amazing. Great knowledge and a true craftsman when it came to drinks. Kept us well supplied as we waited 30+ minutes for our table. I had reserved a high top in the bar area. Got a low top, no problem. This is when the issues started. No one came by for over 5 minutes. We really wanted an early-ish dinner. That was fading as 8 pm approached rapidly. Finally waved down someone. "Is this table assigned to anyone?" Finally showed up after a total of ten minutes. Fast-forward to 10:40 pm. We finally finished a well-prepared, exquisitely plated meal. Two of us were driving so it was painful to stretch two drinks out that long, but they too, were well prepared. So, to sum it up, great food, bad timing, and the server could have definitely level set our expectations. Amy never acknowledged any delay, just acted as if everything was going smoothly. I was traveling with my CEO and since I was the one to bring him here, it was a bit embarrassing. Finally got checked into our rooms and settled in for a short night's sleep. read more

Sorry to say but I am leaving 1 star because the app won't accept less than 1 - but they deserve 0 based on this experience. Service was slow, they were very defensive, the food took over two hours to receive and it was cold and undercooked. They did not offer to do anything to help with the situation, the bill or our concerns. I felt like they really didn't care one way or the other what I thought. I would not go back even if it was free. read more

Had the stake, Food was cold , told the waitress and she was not happy with my response. Killed the ambiance.

Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Great ambiance especially for special occasions!

Over rated food good, but may come out lukewarm. Staff good. Kinda classy, but not as good as it once was.

We had a group of 18 and had long prepared a prefix menu and minimum spend. We arrived at our reservation time 7:00pm. We received bread and salad in the first 90 minutes. Our meals were served at 9:30pm! We had complained about the time we were waiting, when food finally came most dishes were cold or undercooked. I personally ordered swordfish which was rank and I could not eat. I was sad because we were so excited about this dinner. We asked to speak to manager and no manager ever came to discuss with us. Very very disappointed. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant read more

Amazing!!! I'm not sure if this is a hidden gem or what but this place was amazing. From the time i walked i to this low lit but beautiful restaurant I smiled because I knew i was in the right place. The service was amazing. Everyone was nice and treated us great. The sommelier helped us pick a wine since the lady couldn't decided what she wanted to have lol. He decided on a Pinot Noir and it was so delicious. I never had bison before so i didn't know what to expect but it was very good. Very tasty and sweet bits of corn paired with meat was top tear. This is a must get when you come. read more

I haven't dined here in over a year. Tonight I was amazed at the changes that has taken place. Not only has the look of the restaurant changed but the food selections have gone up a few levels as well. The service tonight was truly an EXPERIENCE and not just a normal dinner. Although we sat close to other tables, we felt like we still had our privacy. We enjoyed every moment of our experience and dinner in tonight for my birthday!! read more

I can't find the words to express how enjoyable our evening was at Cork and Flame. It was our anniversary and we had the very best time on a Monday. Our server Kory (sp) was impeccable! Everyone was amazingly attentive and the ambience was perfect. Now.. the food. Oh my goodness. Everything is just right. The meat was tender, delicious and not a hint of game. I'm from Montana and I've eaten a lot of elk, but never, ever like this.. I myself had the Mediterranean fish (I honestly can't remember exactly what it was), but it was fantastic. I had Creme brûlée which is basic, right? Only not basic and my FAVORITE dessert, so it topped my night off! We ordered a bottle of champagne and took a bottle home.. The entire experience was so enjoyable and I honestly couldn't say enough wonderful things to do Cork and Flame justice. So I'll just tell you to visit and try it for yourself, you'll be so happy you did. read more

I had the lobster pasta. Lobster was great but the pasta overdid it with the cheese. Overall great service!

Came here for another special event dinner and had such an amazing time trying out their summer menu. Our server, Matt, was knowledgeable and helped us figure out the best way to present us the dishes we ordered. Their brussel sprouts were my favorite from last visit so we got them again and they were amazing again. Then we decided to get the spinalis steak, cornish hen, and king salmon for our meats. All were prepared so well and tasted amazing. For dessert we got a deconstructed apple pie and ube creme brulee. The ube creme brulee was my favorite thing that night. I was surprised how well they utilized that flavor as I haven't seen it used very often. Again, I recommend this place for any fancy dinner dates or when you just want a super nice well-thought out dinner! read more

First off there's a new menu and it's Amazing! We all had wonderful meals but I have to discuss mine. Last minute I changed up my filet mignon with a Cioppino! What is that u say?!?! It's a seafood stew! I am sorry I ate half before I even realized I needed a photo of this delicious meal! It was loaded with their fish of the day, scallops, clams and shrimp in the most savory sauce! Topped with some crispy buttered bread to soak up every last bit! Everyone at my table was jealous!I'm still thinking about it this morning. It's the best thing I've eaten in a long while and worth every bite. Yum! Let's talk salads! I ordered the tomato burrata salad( had only two cherry tomatoes sliced so four bites) I think if u label a salad option as " a tomato salad" it should actually have tomatoes in it! Other guests that ordered the wedge salads received a huge wedge portion with more tomatoes than my tomato salad -def order that salad next visit! It's chock full of tomatoes cucumbers & bacon! The beet & goat salad is a beautiful portion too! Ok so I love the new menu and would def be back again! This evening was a solid 10 just based on the Cioppino alone! read more

We have been here numerous times and always look forward to the items on the menu as they have previously changed a lot. I am not sure if the menu changes seasonally, but we loved this menu. One of the first things we noticed when entering was that they changed the Wine Market area very nicely to a Wine Tasting area. Still with a multitude of wines to purchase, but on Fridays and Saturdays 5:00-7:00pm they have a wine tasting for $24.00 per guest and first come first serve. We have always gotten the food and wine paring meal, however they did not have it on the evening we were there. I am not sure if they have it anymore as the waiter did not recognize the food and wine paring at all. We started off with a nice taste of a Lime foam with caviar, I am so sorry if I have that wrong, but it was WONDERFUL! Also they always bring warm wash cloths to start the dinner. My Husband and I both had the Escargot for openers. The first time we have seen it on the menu. It is black garlic, herb butter, heirloom tomato with four large hearth baguettes. It was delicious, but I could have done without the tomatoes and not so burned bread. But trust me, you need to try it! My husband had the Venison with delicious spätzle, porcini mushrooms, truffle, parmesan and fall apple cabbage. The flavors together are sooth and full. The venison is the best they have ever had. I had the filet mignon and took the Waiter's recommendation of medium rare. The filet was an 8oz, in port wine and a bearnaise sauce. First, ALWAYS take the waiter's recommendation of how to best cook the meat. I really did not need a knife and it cut like butter. Absolutely prime piece of meat. We also shared a side of asparagus and hollandaise sauce. It had some micro greens and what tasted like cranberries. I really could be wrong on that, but a side as you can see is big enough to share! This meal was by far one of my favorites from all the times I have been to Cork N Flame (excluding the Food and Wine Pairings). read more

Saturday evening I was trying to figure out what I wanted to eat. I opened the Yelp app and one of the first suggestions was Cork and flame. We enjoyed the dining experience. The staff are so professional and knowledgeable of the food and drink menus. The bartender allowed us to try an original creation which will be appear on the menu soon. The prices and the portion size go hand in hand. I think the portion size and the amount charged for the meal received is more than fair. The menu is exciting this is not your pasta chicken and beef restaurant. I tried the trio which consisted of elk bison and venison along with a Johnny Appleseed cocktail. Cork and flame could easily become one of my most favorite restaurants read more

Celebrating 36 years anniversary today , my wife and I had dinner at Cork and Flame one of our favorite fine dining restaurants. Our waiter was excellent he congratulated us on our anniversary and served several treats in addition to our order (potato soup, lemon sorbet and a cotton candy tree). We started with drinks wine and a Spanish rum old fashion (really good). Our entrees consisted of scallops and I had to try the American Wagu steaks (really good however just a good steak) the exotic salts was a nice touch. The ambiance was romantic which my wife loved.
