    Deviled eggs
    Tiff L.

    It was our anniversary, but we were both coming off a long workday and running on fumes. We decided to keep it simple with a light dinner and stopped in here. They've got a solid small-plate selection, so we grabbed a few things. They were pretty busy and clearly short-staffed, so it took a minute to get acknowledged. Our hostess was juggling serving duties and running around like a busy bee. Once she made it back up front, we were seated right away. Our server was Matisse (which immediately had me wondering if her parents are art lovers). We ordered: - Sliders - Deviled eggs - Meatballs - Truffle fries The sliders came as two mini burgers. Hubby said they were really good. The crispy meatballs... honestly, pretty forgettable. The deviled eggs were tasty, and the pickled onions plus microgreens gave them a nice pop. And the truffle fries? Listen. I absolutely went in on those. No shame. I landed on 3 stars for two reasons. First, I specifically came for the poke nachos, and they were out. Huge disappointment. I pivoted to the meatballs, which only made me miss the poke nachos more. Second, the service was delayed - not because anyone was slacking, but because our server was literally doing everything: bartending, taking orders, running food, bussing tables. The teamwork was impressive, but it still meant the service felt a bit stretched thin. That said, both our server and the hostess were great whenever they made it to our table. I'm chalking this up as an off night. I'll definitely be back to finally get those poke nachos. Even though our first visit wasn't perfect, I still recommend giving this place a try.

    Very fresh.

    During the middle of a long road trip we were craving something much finer than rest stop snacks. We came across Cork & Fork on YELP which happened to be in our pathway. The restaurant was very small and the tables were a little tight-squeezed for my taste; especially after a long road trip. Yikes #1. Definitely not the best pick but we were there and we were hungry! The staff were very friendly and we were sat down right away at a tiny table near the restrooms. Yikes #2. Nonetheless our kind server arrived with a smile. We discussed some popular items on the menu and made our order. We began with a Blue Cheese and Apples salad and the Edamame Dumplings. Both appetizers were tasty and fresh. Next came the Filet Tacos and Salmon plate. The tacos were good but the filet was well-done, not my husband's favorite. Yikes #3. I enjoyed the Salmon and potatoes. The dish was seasoned well but I would have preferred more of the butter sauce. The potatoes were very tasty but more sauce would have made it less dry and more enjoyable. We finished with the Bread Pudding for dessert. It was very good and easily our favorite part of the meal. Overall, we had a nice meal in tight quarters. Not my preference so for that reason, I only gave 3 stars.

    Lobster shooters
    Darla A.

    Happy Anniversary to us. Great tapas meal and drinks for the Mister and I. Bridget Bardot martini was delicious. Thank you Matisse for your mad bartending skills and your sweet smile and friendly service. Interior is clean and well arranged for differences in party size. Lobster shooters are crave worthy. Delicate lobster in nice warm butter. Flamingo deviled eggs were so tasty. Picked onions and jalapeños on top of a well prepared deviled eggs. A zingy punch with the toppings, but didn't burn your face off. Thank you for a lovely Anniversary Date night. New to us location is a hit.

    I just came back from Happy Hour with Co-workers at Cork and Fork. Nice ambiance, Full bar and good food! Palomita Blanco: 4 stars Libuelula Tequla, grapefruit, lime, agave nectar, cava, tajin. Good cocktail, nice and bitter. The cava makes this libation fizzy and I enjoy a good bitter drink. This drink was stronger than I expected and right up my alley. 4 stars means this was good, but not delicious - this being said, I would order this drink again. Thai Shrimp Cakes: 5 stars Nice portion of shrimp cakes that are perfectly fried. mildly spicy aioli and a sweet soy/sesame sauce with lime wedges. Very good! Perfect amount to soak up the booze. (Crispy) Brussel Sprouts: 5 stars! Crispy brussel sprouts with paprika aioli, cabernet-stewed onions with bacon and cheese. Delicious. (We ate them before we were able to take a pic). Pink Flamingo Deviled eggs: 3 stars These were fine. I prefer my deviled eggs with more classic ingredients and I feel like these deviled eggs tried too hard. (Pickled jalapeno, bacon, chive oil, marinated pink onions). The green chive oil was very good, but the deviled eggs were lost in translation. Service: 5 stars Competent, courteous staff who had the utmost patient as the six of us tried to split the bill and pay our own way. Cork and Fork is a cute, charming place on the border of La Quint and Indio. Nice decor, great heat lamps on the outdoor patio. I look forward to coming back soon.

    Bacon egg and cheese croissant

    Parking was plentiful at this spot, leading to a colorful and welcoming interior, not to mention the appealing outdoor seating. With such perfect weather, we naturally chose to bask in the sunshine outside. The service was prompt and attentive. We initially ordered the sourdough bread, but were a little disappointed to find it was already sold out. Thankfully, the Breakfast Croissant Sandwich was a true highlight! The generous thick-cut bacon, wonderfully moist and fluffy eggs, smooth avocado, and a zesty chipotle sauce created a truly delicious bite. The Short Rib Hash was enjoyable, though we thought it could benefit from a bolder flavor profile. Overall, this is a place I'd recommend checking out. Maybe not quite a 4 star but definitely more than 3.

    As my first time dining at this restaurant I must say that upon entry I was very impressed by the design and decor, I was having an early Birthday dinner and wanted to sit close to the bar, the drinks my friend and had where yummy and the music was a vibe! The service was great with our waitress explaining what dishes were a hit. My only regret was that I didn't check out any of the other options for seating. I saw a much better option while exiting the restaurant Overall the entrees,dessert and drinks were great!!!! I'll be back for sure.

    What a great place and experience! Please don't listen to the negative reviews. Because it was my first time here and all staff was so friendly, great customer service, impressive how fast our food came out and drinks where delicious! We had the deviled eggs, and the crispy meatballs. Ambiance was beautiful, we sat outside by the bar and it was very nice highly recommend, will be back! Caylee was our server throughout the night and she was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, recommended good food and drinks :) thank you

    Margherita pizza
    Vanessa G.

    This beautiful restaurant truly exceeded my expectations. It is located in a very nice shopping center with lots of great eateries. I made a reservation, but my husband and I chose to sit at the bar. The bartenders were very nice. The restaurant is the perfect place for a romantic dinner. We enjoyed the live music and lively ambiance. The food was fantastic. We shared the Margherita pizza, Bianca pizza, and panzanella salad. The pizzas were each full of flavor and cooked to perfection. What really stole the show was the panzanella. We are huge fans of this type of salad, and will order it any time we see it on a menu. This one was out of this world, especially with the filet tips. So delicious! We topped off our meal with a great bottle of wine. We will definitely be back!

    Thai Shrimp Cakes & Bread with Prosciutto
    Amanda N.

    First time here for date night and was pretty good! I think they were short staffed since we weren't greeted until twenty minutes later, when our sweet server came and took care of us. Amazing place for Thai Shrimp Cakes: they are SCRUMPTIOUS. The banana bread pudding was delicious even as someone that doesn't like sweets that much. I tried Mike's Pizza but it was soggy and undercooked unfortunately. The Prosciutto and Bread was not bad either and I'm glad our server gave us another plate of bread to make up for the burnt ones. Ahi Nachos were pretty good too, and I appreciated it actually being a little spicy. Mango No-jito was also super yummy for a zero proof drink! Overall, our server saved our experience and we would recommend for a cute date night.

    Pot Pie Soup!
    Susan S.

    Loved the What Happened Cocktail! Delish! Very cool boutique restaurant in La Quinta! Very cool great appetizers! We ordered Shrimp Toast, Goat cheese bruschetta, and Brussels Sprouts!! I ordered wild salmon tacos! Very fresh and delicious! Our food was terrific! A beautiful restaurant with great service in the charming town of La Quinta! I recommend!

    Nice glass of white wine, what happened?, and material girl cocktail, very good.

We didn't have reservations and requested to be seated inside. There was a little awkward first impression with the hostess who told us that there was only one inside table left in the back corner. She didn't come across very friendly when we asked if we could see it before deciding if we wanted to sit there or not. I understand they were busy but she was a bit short with us. We were seated in Isabel's section and she more than made up for it. What a gem! She was so friendly and very nice. She made sure to check on us often and we had a lovely time at your restaurant because of her. We are giving this review 5 stars because of Isabel. The seared ahi tuna salad and the ahi tuna nachos were both delicious. The fish was fresh and so very tender with a light dressing. The pulled pork tacos were good too. The brownie dessert was a bit dry though.

Instead, she bit into a sharp chicken bone hidden in the salad--something that absolutely should never happen. This wasn't a small, soft fragment either; it was sharp enough to cause immediate, severe pain and pierced her gums. This is not just a minor oversight--it's a major failure in basic food safety and kitchen preparation. There is no excuse for serving food in this condition, especially something as simple as a salad. We trusted this restaurant to provide a safe meal, and that trust was completely broken. What makes this even worse is that the situation could have been far more dangerous. If swallowed, this could have led to choking or internal injury. No customer should ever have to worry about that when ordering a salad. I strongly urge the restaurant to take a hard look at their food prep standards and quality control, because this is unacceptable. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.
