Kork Wine Bar — Restaurant in Georgetown

We have been coming to Kork since we moved to georgetown in june of this year. everytime we go its never as smoothly as we hoped, whether its waiting a long time when its not busy, not being acknowledged for over 10 minutes, etc. last time we went on christmas day we took my mom to show her around. my fiance, myself and mom all sat together. were almost 30 and my mom is over 50. she wanted to ID just me which is very odd? but ok. my mom then proceeded to order a "bold" italian wine as described on their menu. my mom got her glass of wine (my mom KNOWS her wines) and said it tasted like straight water with food coloring (obviously not true) and then i told my mom i dont love italian wines because they are on the lighter side. but then i tasted the $22 glass and was like yup this does taste like straight water. light doesnt even compare. 3 of us agreed something about it was off, especially for it being listed as "bold" on the menu. we did let the server know because its ridiculous to pay $22 a glass for something that is way off. she said sorry we cannot comp it you will stay have to pay but i can get you something else. are you serious? i get you offer tastings and stuff but this is terrible overall customer service. you maybe lost a few bucks as a business but now you have lost a customer or 3. then we ordered a pizza and i said i didnt want to order anything else that was ordered. server brought over only 2 plates for 3 people.. ok.. lol. i asked for a plate and she says "i thought you didnt want anything" are you freaking kidding me?? who are you as a server to say that to someone? just overall, terrible terrible experience. i will really never return this time again. hope your customer...

Here is what you need to know before coming here....

Giant Salads. Best bang for the buck for the quality and portion size.

Not just lots of wine options! They also have Mexican Coke Cola from the glass bottle and original hard to find IBC Root Beer in glass bottle with no corn syrup!

And the hummas tasted so fresh I literally dipped by pizza in it and it tasted like it was meant for it.

You got the bar with TVs playing whatever is the sports games of the day if that is your thing too.

Plenty of inside tables so handicap accessible with restaurants for men's and women's that are constantly kept clean.

For New Year's Day the service was phenomenal and from order to table was less then 15mins

The pizza with Veal Meat on it had the unique blend of wine I could taste in the meat and crust

But as I saw everyone else in my party get their salads I realized what you want to order if you want to spend less then $20 with tip and be full and satisfied their salads are easily the best I have ever seen and got to taste with my party of 17 which they accomodated.

And the deserts are amazing and worth every dollar...

I got the chocolate gelato and as a chocolate lover let me tell you... This chocolate was so legit I wanted to order seven more and overdose 🤣

They also have a projector and wall screen which you can reserve for special events with side doors in the pic behind me that can open and expand for more people too.

AND to wrap up this review the water tasted like the most fresh ever in all of Georgetown beyond filtered to perfection and I would literally come back just to hydrate with their water that they serve in...

Kork absolutely made my restaurant wedding reception experience. After having dealt with issues with Juliet Italian kitchen, Kork, not only was able to organize and book our wedding reception two weeks before the wedding, they also made the process insanely easy, providing consistent and helpful communication, images of restaurant layout, and even provided wine bottle vases for decoration. The staff was absolutely amazing and made sure everyone’s wine glass was filled and food was consistently warm and put out. All of our guests loved their food and wine selection and consistently praised the staff and location. I know a bunch of them are definitely going to want to come back when they visit us. A Georgetown staple!

I could not have asked for a better experience and reception, it is absolutely beautiful and would 10/10 recommend future weddings or larger group gatherings to come here. The prices were beyond fair, especially for the food, service, and booking the entire venue for three hours. I could keep going on and on, but definitely shout out to the staff and Jianna for making everything happen and doing so swiftly and amazingly. Jianna was so professional, kind, and communicative, I knew immediately Kork would be able to make this reception happen. Finally, they let us come in early to decorate, which we are beyond thankful for because I know they did not have to do that, but they did let us.

We are definitely coming back every anniversary and as regulars!!! Again, highly recommend if you are having a rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, large gathering, or are just visiting Georgetown, this is the...
