We had the best dinner! Decided to try this place for my birthday and it exceeded my expectations! The steak frites might be the best in town! Delicious martini and the chicken fried duck with miso orange sauce was incredible! We will definitely be back! read more

In spite of great reviews, we weren't quite sure when we walked in the door. Looks like a dark dive bar, no windows, cinder block construction. But they have some nice wine by the glass, cocktails & beer on tap. The food was wonderful! We shared the Nom Nom (risotto) Balls, so delicious, their signature smash burger & subbed the Green Goddess Slaw for fries. That Green Goddess dressing was wonderful & they make it in house. As mentioned in another review (?) just one server, who also did the bar, and she was terrific. A little noisy but really good food. read more

WOW - What a gem! My girlfriend recommended this place and I'm so glad she did. It's the perfect mix of cozy bar vibes and a stylish restaurant. We arrived on the earlier side and by about 7 PM the place was buzzing clearly a local favorite. We thought we were just going to start with a few appetizers... but we happily got carried away! The appetizers were so good that we ended up skipping the dinner menu entirely because we were already full and totally satisfied. Here's what we tried (and loved): * Nom Noms (risotto bites) -- Absolutely delicious, perfectly crispy and flavorful. * Sausage Board -- The pork belly sausage was incredible, and the pretzel buns with the cheese dip were chef's kiss. The pickled beets added the perfect touch. * Fried Calamari -- Light, crispy, and not oily at all. * Brussels Sprouts (Spicy Bang Bang) -- These were the star of the night. The sauce, the crispness, the flavor perfection. For drinks, we ordered a classic Old Fashioned (executed perfectly) and their signature Eternal Summer cocktail, which was bright, refreshing, and so good even though I got distracted by the food and didn't finish it! And honestly, the experience was made even better by the staff. Our host and server were both so friendly, warm, and genuinely helpful with their recommendations. They made us feel taken care of without hovering just great service all around. We will definitely be coming back. Everything from the atmosphere to the food to the service was memorable. Highly recommend! read more

I went durning happy hour and had an great espresso martini and amazing mussels. The mussels had an amazing sauce that made me want to drink straight from the bowl, it came with fries be the dish is actually called Mussels Frites but could use some crusty bread. I still dipped and soaked some fries in the sauce though and yummmm. The staff were amazing and as busy as they were, they took the time at the bar to check in a few times. I will definitely be back for this dish and maybe another one soon. read more

Bottom line up front: This is a great place for a date night. We were in this area last Friday and took advantage of the opportunity to come here. While we ate at Jonathan's Cork several years ago, we wanted to give this place a try under the new owners. Due to an appointment with another business, we came here following at ~4 PM. I was surprised by how many other customers were already here. Our waitress was personable and the place was clean. For an appetizer, we had the Bacon n' Eggs (Beet-pickled deviled eggs, goat cheese, bacon, chives). The presentation was the best part and it was a memorable offering. My wife had the BLT and enjoyed the sandwich, but kept talking about how good the fries were. I too liked the fries in both of taste and the firmness which almost had a snap. I had The Gotham City Manhattan was very good, and the From the Ashes desert drink was excellent! (juicy, crumbed chicken, prosciutto, marinara, parmesan over linguine) which was very good and I would certainly order this dish again. The one negative I had was while the establishment is dark and intimate inside (which is a good thing) the door was open and with the angle of the sun, we moved three times. I mentioned it to our server, but they either did not care or seemed not to pick up on the hint. The Gotham City Manhattan was very good, and the From the Ashes desert drink was excellent! My wife also enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake. read more

As fans of the Cork, we've been here twice to try out this more casual sister venue and have left feeling happy with our meals overall. It's cheaper than the Cork, with more bar-type options on the menu, but with the same quality of preparation. We've had the following: - Nom nom balls: full of umami and mushroom forward (good if you're a fan of mushrooms) - Big Dipper: loved this as a lighter appetizer option; the butternut squash hummus had a nice creaminess to it - Steak Frites: cooked perfectly medium rare - the mushroom cream sauce on top adds a nice flavor and the fries are nice and crispy - Cheesecake: creamy and not too sweet It did take a bit for food to come out both times we went but I think it's because there has been only one server on both occasions - both times the server was so nice and was definitely hustling to get everyone their food and drinks. read more

Came with a friend and really enjoyed the food. Service was weird. Servers were not hospitable or friendly and it seemed like Carly or Harley was alone on the floor. Which may explain why she has little patience for explaining the menu or giving recommendations. The Sonoran restaurant week menu was extended so we decided to give it a go. I started with the Mac and cheese HOLY COW WAS IT GOOD!!!!!! I'm still thinking about it. My second course was chicken n pajamas which was also tasty. It's breaded chicken with prosciutto, cheese and sauce. It came with either fries or linguine pasta and I went with pasta. The linguine was slightly over cooked and the sauce was too acidic. It could have used a little sweetness. Overall it was good tho and I would order it again. My margarita was FANTASTIC. The last course was a choice between an eclair or cheesecake. We both went with the eclair and agreed it needed work. The way it was described is not what we got. I was expecting a light fluffy cream with raspberry flavor folded in. What we got was a thin syrupy and overly sweet mess. My friend had chose different menu items and had issues with his entree. His hanger steak was not butchered properly thus it tasted like liver. Huge turn off. It's unfortunate bc the mushroom sauce and fries that come with the steak were superb. Depending on what happy hr looks like for this place I may or may not come back. read more

Had been wanting to try..and they extended Restaurant Week, so we did. Ample parking, next to Jimmy Johns. Ambiance/Cleanliness-while clean, the space lacked warmth or character..no art on the walls..nothing distinctive...it was simply...a box to eat/drink in...bar area takes up about 1/2 the space. 3 stars Service-Carli was our server and maybe she was having a bad day. Competent...but lacking in basic conversation and devoid of any warmth. 2 stars Food-we started with the mac n cheese and the hummus. Mac n cheese was flawless...proper texture, amazingly creamy. Hummus had good texture, needed citrus and salt. Mains were chicken parm and hanger steak. Parm was a big piece of perfectly fried poultry with a tasty, golden breading. Nicely seasoned sauce. Fries and sauce on the steak frites were stellar....sauce was creamy, salty and bursting with flavor. Fries were crispy and salted well. The steak was inedible. I have happily eaten dozens of hanger steaks and THIS one was tainted with the most awful gamey, liver-y flavor in my life. I hate sending food back....and have not done so in a few years. Carli asked how the food was an i told her. Asked for another steak, but she told me if i didn't like this one, i probably wouldnt like the replacement. So I got the burger. Which was beefy, a salty and tasty af. The carmelized onions were wonderfully rendered. Arugula, a nice touch...but the bun was in desparate need of toasting. The chococlate raspberry eclairs were mid...the pate' choux was sodden and limp. 3 stars. Not likely to go back. Sad. The potential is massive. read more

Casual but great cocktails and food, pleasant ambiance and fun. Cocktail menu is expansive, gets crowded early but that's good for a local business. Highly recommended read more

We came in with our teen son for a late lunch. It was kind of busy and the waitress let us know she was the only one serving. She did an excellent job despite being super busy. She got us drinks quickly, took our order in a reasonable amount of time, and the food came out pretty fast too. We had the Bacon Eggs, which was fancy deviled eggs. I love the beet-pickled egg, it adds a nice hint of flavor to the whites. Son got a big chicken pasta dish- he devoured it. Husband went with the Brussel sprouts appetizer and a steak flatbread. Everything we had was delicious! Definitely will be back. There were tvs with sports on and a big-sized bar with lots of drink optional available. read more

Came here after golf for dinner and drinks. It was casual and delicious. It is small, and we came right before a rush, but there was a wait when we were leaving! We got a mojito made with pomegranate syrup, the sausage board, Brussels sprouts, and Steak Frites. The Brussels were some of the best we have ever had. The fries are very good, and the steak was cooked perfectly. We can't wait to come back! It is loud and dark, so keep that in mind if that may bother you! read more

This was first time and my DIL and I were looking forward to a fun dinner and drink. I enjoy a good beer usually Barrio Blonde but that was not available so got Miller Lite. When we entered it was very dark and had to find a place to sit. Eyes eventually adjusted to lighting. I ordered grilled cheese and French fries. I have had many different grilled cheese and always enjoyed them. I must admit this was the worst I have jad had .It was very dry could not even taste cheese or bacon I ate half thinking I could fix it at home but beyond fixing. I never complain but very unhappy with meal. Waitress was fine but not enough to make me return. read more

I went here for the first time last Friday for lunch. I have to say it just felt right. The food was delicious. I had the uncorkd smash burger and my husband had the blt. Both were perfect! I also tried an old fashioned, which isn't a normal lunch drink for me, but it sure could be! The service was great-Carly was wonderful. And the vibe in there is so cool! Can't wait to go back for the steak frites and the mussels. read more

My sister, her mother in law and our mom went to Uncork'd on Monday and loved it so much she brought me back tonight. I'm so glad she did. This is elevated casual dining with Gastropub quality that will not break the bank. Sadly, my hunger got in the way of my food photography so I could not fully document our meal. The walleye fish and chips were excellent. Perfectly battered and crisp. The Green Goddess Coleslaw had changed my mind about coleslaw for the better. My sister and I were both intrigued by the description of the chicken in pajamas, but realized it's a riff on chicken parmigiana once the entree arrived. Gorgeous generous portion. Nice twist with prosciutto. However the Calabrian Chiles were too much for my sister, so we swapped plates. Our friend ordered the chicken-fried duck with salad and mac and cheese. This dish is above and beyond. She opted for the miso citrus but I'll be back for the Nashville Hot. Really excellent execution and what pushes Uncork'd into Gastropub range. Fabulous cocktails, nice wine and beer list. Fabulous service from Carly. This is a great spot for a nice, easy on your budget epicurean night out. read more

Cute cocktail bar and restaurant. The outside entrance feels hidden, but once you get in the dining area is quaint and has a great atmosphere. The wait staff were very friendly and drinks and food came out relatively fast. The cocktails were unique and delicious. 110 in the shade was a spicy tropical martini. The palomita was a nice twist on a classic Paloma. I ordered the steak sandwich which wasn't my favorite. The steak was cold and I didn't find the sauce very flavorful. But I'm definitely willing to give a second chance and try something else next time. read more

Another update.... Seems like they are working out their kinks. Had a dish that was "bombed" last time i tried it. Well it was fantastic!! The Chicken fried duck and foie gras were perfect. Cocktails excellent. Still noisy. Some staff slammed some stuff around. Etc. at one point I was speaking very loudly to the person next to me. Maybe another kink. Hopefully that gets worked out. I will be back!!! read more

Probably should have given UnCork'd a couple of months before stopping in. For us, the overall vibe just wasn't there. You know how when watching Bar Rescue and John Taffer redoes the interior and it's not exactly a friendly, welcoming or cozy interior but kind of stark? Well that's how UnCork'd felt to us. The bar is in the same location as it was when it was the Saddlehorn and there are tables scattered around and it's pretty open. But the acoustics are horrendous. We sat at a small table and could barely hear each other between the music, other diners, those at the bar - it was not good. The place just seems a bit sterile - no art on the walls, boring interior. We had planned to enjoy a few cocktails and appetizers but ended up just having one drink each. I had the Desert Bites Back - a beautiful cocktail with smoky Mezcal and gorgeous color. My guy had the Wander Out Yonder and it was good...refreshing....an excellent choice. Unfortunately, we were not feeling the vibe and could not enjoy conversation due to the acoustics so we left. read more

Date night this past Friday night was here after a friend spoke highly of this restaurant and how much they love it. I took one look at the menu and made a plan to visit that night! I think the menu is very unique and I love that the website has pictures of all the menu items. My husband and I ordered the deviled eggs which were okay. The pickled egg was an interesting flavor, but I wish there was a little bit more something to juu it up... like some kind of drizzle glaze or something that really topped it off would have sealed the deal. We also ordered the Nom Nom balls, which we did not really like. I cannot put my finger exactly on why, It just wasn't for us. I ordered the steak frites and found it really tasty, though a bit salty. My husband ordered the fish sammy and enjoyed it. Let me just say the slaw in it was really good. I don't usually like coleslaw, but there is something about this one that I really enjoyed. He got a side salad with the sandwich (instead of fries), that came with a balsamic dressing. He was surprised to find that the dressing was less of a vinaigrette and more of a brown creamy texture. It also did not pair well with the salad if you ask me. He felt the same. The restaurant definitely has a laid-back vibe with the semicircle bar and small tables around. It's a low light environment. There's a couple of things I'd like to try so I'll be back for back for that! read more

Stopped for a mid afternoon meal and a beer and this little spot is deceiving from the outside. It's cute and comfortable, even at the bar. We had the steak flatbread with the chimichurri. We did have to ask for extra sauce because there didn't seem to be enough on the flatbread, which was delicious on the side. The truffle fries were just ok, and the happy hour on tap beers were perfectly priced. Service was excellent at the bar while we were there. Will likely stop in again for a date night. read more

Finally, exactly what the area needed! Uncorked Kitchen and Cocktails is an absolute gem. From the moment I walked in, the modern, classy vibe hit just right. This place checks every box: great ambience, amazing service, and quality cocktails at reasonable prices. We came in on a night when Tierra Owens was spinning, the live DJ set was on point, with smooth, soulful house music that elevated the entire experience. It created such a cool, welcoming energy without being overwhelming. Perfect for catching up with friends or just vibing out. I kept it simple with my go-to Tito's and soda, but based on how dialed-in everything else was, I'm definitely coming back to explore more of their cocktail menu. You can tell they care about both quality and presentation. Highly recommend if you're looking for a chill yet upscale cocktail lounge. I'm excited to see this spot thrive, we needed something like this close by and Uncorked delivered. Felt completely welcome from start to finish. Can't wait to return. read more

First off I am a huge fan of Tucson Cork, the sister restaurant to this. More like the crown jewel. This is their bar version. The food is so good. the hard boiled eggs were to die for. I ended up getting appetizers because I couldn't decide. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very cool. Large wine selection. I had a beer, hubby a gin and tonic. Very cool place. slow for lunch the day we went but it's a cool singles happy hour spot. read more

My appetizers were good; my husband's hamburger was mediocre. Drinks were made well. Ambiance a bit too dark for me. Service was acceptable- only one lady server working . 4 stars. read more

My friends and I ate dinner here recently. We shared three dishes: Pesto Chicken ($16), Uncork'd Smash Burger ($17), and Steak Frites ($20). I think we all enjoyed everything. The steak dish is not a whole steak but a plate of fries with little pieces of steak on it. Still, it was good. Service was good too. The ambiance is that of a neighborhood bar although we were there for the food. read more

It's the younger sibling of The Cork. It's dark with a simple design. I had the grilled cheese with duck confit, which was cheesy and juicy. I liked that tots (or fries) came with the meal and not a la carte. My husband had the fish and chips which he liked, but the green goddess slaw's flavor was not our thing. The server was really friendly, but she was the only server on a Saturday night. There was someone helping her bring out meals and water, but we had to wait for napkins and silverware. It was understandable for a new restaurant. read more

Stop by for late dinner with family on Sunday night. Almost empty parking lot. Only 1 table was occupied and 2 people on the bar. The server greeted us; he was very nice and helpful. My daughter ordered grilled cheese, son ordered mac & cheese, husband ordered fish and chips as the review said it was very good. I ordered chicken fried duck, the server said it run out for the night. I was disappointed but he said he would double check. Then he get back to us and said that they have the chicken fried duck..yes!! It takes very long for them to prepare the food. In the middle of waiting he came and said that they run out of bread for the grilled cheese, if we are ok, they can use burger bun and we agreed. More people come during our stay and most of them sit on the bar. After waiting for more than 45mins, finally the food came out. My husband said that the fish and chips are good but not really special. My daughter like her grilled cheese & fries. I love the chicken fried duck!!! It's chrispy outside, tender and juicy inside. The flavor is rich. And the side mac and cheese that come with it also tasty, I wasn't only Taste cheese but something else that make it better. It's pricy for the portion but all in all we are quite satisfied. Notes: So if you are very hungry or in hurry...this place is not recommended. But for enjoying togetherness with whoever come here, this is the right place. read more

I wanted to love this place. It is in my neighborhood, and we need a little upscale late-night eaterie! Went with sweetie after nearby event. Totally underwhelmed. The ambiance is non-existent. Bright white walls, no personality. Not the special experience I was desiring. Food was fine, but super rich and heavy - left feeling bloated and yuck. Cocktails were great. Work on the menu and at least paint the wall. A little personality? read more

This place was great. When we came in we were greeted by the bartender, the restaurant was very clean and had warm lighting with music playing at a moderate volume.

We will definitely be back to try the infamous steak frites read more

Took my husband for lunch at Uncork'd today. We arrived about 1:45 and we were the only diners in there. There was one person sitting at the bar. Bartender/server was a gem. We were greeted as we walked in, was given water to begin with and we perused the menu. I wanted fish & chips but didn't like their slaw. I asked to sub a salad instead. We thought it was going to be a couple bucks upcharge, but I was charged full price ($7). The salad wasn't worth that but I'm not taking stars away for this little annoyance. The fish is walleye and the batter is terrific and cooked perfectly. The fries are the bomb. My husband had fries and mac & cheese. Also, outstanding. I had water and the hubby had a soda. The bill came to $52+ with tax, which is reasonable these days. Most of the mac & cheese came home with us. We were checked on appropriately, refills done. The place is a bit dark, but the decor is very nice. Everything was clean, including the restrooms. Aside from the salad snafu, it was a terrific experience. Did I mention the fries are the bomb? read more

Really good and flavorful food and cocktails. Unpretentious. Come in, seat yourself. Menu has some unique appetizers (think duck foil gras) and the fish and chips or sandwich features Walleye. Wife and I went on a Fri eve. Plenty of seating tells us we found it before it gets TOO popular. I got the eternal sunshine cocktail, which was very light and refreshing..def a good summer drink. Wife got the From the Ashes... a coffee cocktail, but mild enough to be light a moderately sweet latte. For appetizers we had to get the fois gras toast. Jam was incredible and the fois gras was good... tho I'm used to it being in pate form vs the actual livers, but still texture wise was good. It's topped with a hazelnut praline. For dinner, my wife got the steak Sammy and in her words was an "explosion of flavor" and the chimichurri sauce was incredible. I got the Walleye and chips. Which was perfectly battered and fried. Had a coleslaw relish and tarter sauce.. I picked the homemade tater tots as a side and was not disappointed. Server was super friendly and attentive and food was prompt. Happy hour is $2 off classic cocktails, and $1 off house wine and all beer on tap. Bar holds about 15/16 peeps in a U shape. Some TVs to watch sports in the bar area only. Only thing neither of us were a fan of was the decor. Looked like either they shopped at IKEA and then got some random black curtains. We're not getting the decor vibe or what they were trying to accomplish. Overall, a great experience and we'll be back! read more

I've been going to UnCork'd since it opened. Now I am not a fish person AT ALL, but the fish n' chips are amazing as are the brussel sprouts. I love the way the brussel sprouts are prepared, crispy and with nuggets of ham sprinkled through out. If you haven't gone find a date in the near future. You won't be sorry. read more

I ended up barfing up my food when I got home, there must've been something wrong with it. Also, it turns out that you're not allowed to have a conversation with another person at the bar if the bartender is going to disagree with you. He kicked us out because he heard us engaged in a mutual conversation with another customer, and he disagreed with our opinions. He wouldn't even allow us to finish our order, even though we paid for it. Bizarrely, he accused us of being fascists. He is the fascist. Probably also compromised in other ways. read more
