    The charcuterie was not worth $40. Took us an hour to get our charcuterie board. I will not go back.

    TOASTED CIABATTA BREAD Served with Olive Oil
    Kevin G.

    It has been a while since we visited Cork It and I must say they have lost a notch. While the waiter/ waitress were nice enough, they seemed to be duplicating efforts. Our full order was already taken and another waiter came over to ask for our drink order. Not on the same page. Since neither of them told us their name, I have no names to share. We started with the SALTY NUTS Pistachios, Almonds, Cashews, Hazelnuts a tasty treat. Next, the TOASTED CIABATTA BREAD, the bread tasted and felt like it had been out a while but still ok, then we had the LARGE CHARCUTERIE AND CHEESE Prosciutto, Black Pepper Salami, Capicola, Butterkase, Parmigiano Reggiano, Blue Cheese, Crackers, Hummus, Fig Spread, Olives & Cornichons, Crackers we also added some aged gouda. This dish fell short of what we have been accustomed to getting at Cork it. The meats were chewy and the blue cheese was nearly frozen. Not their finest hour for sure. Last we had the ANTEBELLUM Sticky Toffee Cake this is always and was awesome. While we were there, a person at the next table asked the waiter about their lagers and it was clear the waiter knew very little about the beverages they sell. Hope training is headed their way as a wine and beer bar should have employees that know about beer and wine. We will go back but, at the Gainesville location.

    Elan is the best bartender they have. Will be back just to see her! Also, the cheese board was fantastic. 12/10 recommend.

    Love the food, service and live music. It's the perfect little spot in Buford to take coworkers after work and relax or for a date night.

    There were out of the devil egg spread for the large charcuterie board but they replaced it with bacon jam and pimento cheese and I was very happy about that offer to make it right.

I haven't been there in about six months just because I've been busy. So I was really looking forward to returning. Sad to say I'm extremely disappointed. Not only has the menu changed, but the quality of the food has gone down drastically. The charcuterie board we ordered had old cheese on it and lacked creativity and flavor. The prime rib sandwich and Moscow mule were way below average. The only thing I enjoyed was my glass of red wine. I also noticed the staff is much younger, and maybe less experienced I'm not sure, but it definitely felt that way when I spoke with the assistant manager. In the end, she took my feedback politely and said she would relay it to the Owner, Mark. She also took care of the charcuterie board on our ticket, which was appreciated. My issue besides the food is really the lack of communication from our server, she just really seemed afraid and she has very little knowledge about the menu, drink choices, or wine selections. I honestly left feeling disappointed and slightly ill. It is extremely unlikely that I will return to this restaurant again in the future.

We might try again for other menu items, not planning to go out of our way since there are other more flavorful, better-priced brunch places around. $65.97 later, the two of us are headed to Starbucks for matcha.

Now I understand why their dessert selections were mini indulgences instead of a full dessert entree. For this visit the table ordered crab and shrimp, stuffed mushrooms as well as their avocado toast for appetizers. Each appetizer was so very tasty but I was very impressed by the stuffed mushrooms. They were delicious. The other people in my party, ordered fish dishes, and I ordered the steak and lobster. We all throughly enjoyed our entrees. Everyone ordered one mini indulgence: oatmeal cookie cream, turtle cheesecake and the key lime pie. Those mini indulgences are so good I wish it was a full entree dessert. We will definitely put this restaurant on our date night rotation.

Our server was okay, nothing special and food was okay too (mozzarella sticks were the best part though!). I got $16 off my meal but adding chicken and substituting spinach instead of broccoli felt like it brought it back up. We finished our entrees and was given a check (maybe they don't give you the dessert?). Anyways, I really wanted to like this place but it just didn't cut it for me, it just felt like another establishment. Maybe it was a bad day?

It had no flavor to it and it carried a lot of liquid to it that all the liquid fell to the bottom of the bowl and mushed up the potatoes.

    "There's something magical about rooftops. You feel like you're in 'Mary Poppins."…read moreGeorge Clarke There really is something special about being on a rooftop on a perfect summer evening, and it's great to have it right in downtown Sugar Hill. I would like to say I planned the perfect date, but as some of the best things in life, this was just an impromptu visit to cap off an already great evening. Outside of being on the rooftop, the bar itself is upscale yet approachable, service was fast and friendly. Being a bit of a self engrandized home bartender I'm a bit critical when out of my home lab, but their Smoked Old Fashioned wasn't bad. ("Wasn't bad" really means very good.") While I don't love the prices and hate paying a cover charge, when you throw in live music, a great vibe, and a view, I can't really complain. The owner made an announcement that whoever tipped the band $10 would get a free drink, and since most drinks were over $15 I thought that was cool on many levels. Will definitely be back to The Rooftop!

Unfortunately, that excitement disappeared pretty quickly. We waited approximately 10 minutes without being acknowledged. A woman standing behind us who had arrived after we did was approached by the bartender and had her order taken first. I'm not going to speculate about the reason, but sitting there and watching it happen certainly didn't make us feel welcome. At that point I decided not to order anything because I already had doubts about staying. My wife ordered a glass of white wine that was supposed to be a 6 oz pour. When it arrived, we both questioned the amount. I even noticed other glasses of wine at a nearby table that appeared to have considerably larger pours. I've included a photo so people can judge for themselves. We weren't looking for special treatment because it was our anniversary. We simply expected the same basic level of acknowledgement and service as everyone else. It's unfortunate because we came in genuinely excited to try a local place and celebrate together. The atmosphere has potential, but our first impression of the service made us feel like we'd be better off spending our anniversary somewhere else.
