The restaurant is known for its wine list, and the rotating, curated flights are a good opportunity to sample some of the more usual selections from it. [Eater 38 Member]

The selection of wines, cheese and charcuterie is so well edited you always leave with a winner. Their wine fundamentals classes are great for the novice and expert wine lover. Read more

The Domaine Billard Père et Fils, Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune 2009 (Pinot Noir) is the best I've ever had. I had three glasses, just to be sure. Pair with cheese and charcuterie and leave happy.

Great wine and food. The Duck Confit is the best thing on the menu. After that I'd say the Brioche and Sea Bream/Orata are tied for second. Change of pace? Pete is one of the best mixologists in DC

Who knew that pistachios and avocado was a match made in heaven? Get a little bit of everything and trust the waiter's suggestions. Good for groups of 4-6 as well as dates.

über-trendy Logan Circle wine bar, “a huge array of wines by the glass without an outrageous markup” is paired with “delightful” New American small plates with an “extra edge of creativity”

You must try the Citrus Mimosa Flight. The food is all amazing, esp the pan-crisped brioche sandwich with prosciutto, fontina and a sunny-side up egg and the avocado with toasted pistachio oil Read more

The wine selection is impressive and the music is amazing. If you're looking to chill but stay in the mix, this is the place!
Bitches Who BrunchDecember 29, 2011
Bitches say B+! a tasty meal at a reasonable price. I would go again to experience the avocado toast and cinnamon rolls—as well to check out some other items on the menu

What to get: Chicken-liver pâté with shallot marmalade; oil-cured tomatoes on toast; fried calamari and shrimp with zingy rémoulade; grilled flatiron steak with anchovy vinaigrette.

Delicious small plates and well thought out wine list. Be bold and ask for something interesting, the bar tender will oblige.

Their recently launched Sunday brunch menu inncludes not only its popular small plate but also delicious things like bacon cheddar scones and a baked egg in a parmesan crust.

Huge wine selection and delicious food. Call ahead and they can add you to the wait list if there is one.
The FeastJune 10, 2011
Cork matches its wine selection with an equally impressive cheese menu. It's fairly economical, as well, at three for $12, five for $18, and seven for $24.

Great place for a date. The small plates were really good, especially the eggplant flatbread and the tortellini.

get the avocado on toast appetizer, SO FREAKIN GOOD. they serve up one of the best fried calamari in the city. for dessert, get the "pass the cookies" dessert wine!

Cork is not only an exceedingly popular wine bar, it's also a gourmet market for those special holiday meals you'll be making at home.
CatherineMarch 14, 2011
Must: Avocado & pistachio toast. The small/large size of calamari are comparable. Travis (server w/the amazing arm artwork) gives the best recommendations!
Paulina Chávez AlonzoOctober 13, 2013
They really need to see there's a world full of wine out there, beyond France, Italy and Spain. Friendly staff and good taste, but portions are tiny...
Bernard MFebruary 6, 2015
It's a nice atmosphere. They keep the music low to allow conversation. Also, I enjoyed the flatbread.
Rachel KAugust 6, 2014
Now serving brunch! Get the avocado toast and a glass of wine or a mimosa flight.
Justine C.May 27, 2013
Apple crostata is amazing with the rose ice wine (#44) or honey wine (#42).
David HyattSeptember 2, 2013
Great wine bar. Excellent food. Avocado toast with pistachios is wonderful.
Michael CoxApril 11, 2015
This place is great. Well executed. The toasted brioche is a must!

Definitely try the avocado w/ the pistachios on grilled bread. It's fantastic! For wine I recommend the La Montesa, Rioja, Palacios Remondo 2004 from Spain. Potent!
Bordeaux WinesMay 1, 2012
A true wine bar in every sense, you can't go wrong with a glass of Bordeaux here.
Tony GMay 19, 2013
The food is fabulous! Try the avocado and beef cheek!
Amy CummingsSeptember 25, 2017
Have a drink here while waiting for your table at another restaurant.
Sherrie BakshiMay 17, 2010
Excellent wine list. The organic chicken and the toasted tomatoes with balsamic vinaigrette on toasted baguettes are to die for!
Mike LiddellMarch 3, 2013
Come for brunch, the cinnamon rolls are insanely good.
Jessica PlacenciaJanuary 16, 2016
Really small and cute. Good for dates too small for friends.

Call 30 minutes ahead to snag a table (they don't take reservations). The pistachio & avocado toast is a must-order!
