Corkscrew Wine & Cheese — Restaurant in Omaha

My husband and I went to the location in midtown last night for a Mother's Day date. Our first impression wasn't the best since the woman working the patio area had awful customer service. We walked in and she was on her phone and just told us we could sit wherever. We grabbed the menus ourselves and sat out by the fire pit. We had never been there before and didn't realize that there were two different menus, one with drinks, and one with food. My husband went back in to grab a food menu and the server said she would be right out with water. Ten minutes later, she walked out and stopped by two other tables to collect their payments and didn't acknowledge us. We decided to go inside to a different table with a different server. Zach, I believe was the bartender inside, was super attentive and knowledgable about all of the wines. He walked us through different bottles of wine and suggested a few he thought I might like based on what I told him I usually drink. We chose a bottle of wine that he had suggested and it was perfect! We also chose a few items from the food menu which were incredible. Zach was probably the best server we have ever had. I was more than happy to leave him a large tip since he totally turned our experience here into a great night. Zach is the reason I am giving this place a 5 star rating (the wine and food were...

I went to meet a friend to talk business. First we were disappointed when the meat and cheese tray came out with about half of what other places serve. When we received our bill it had three $5 charges for a corkage fee. A corkage fee is when you bring your own wine into a place and you get charged a corkage fee for bringing it in. That's reasonable. Their definition is any bottle under priced below $25 consumed on premises is given a corkage fee. Of course they don't verbally let you know, but it is posted on the wine list, a list of wines that primarily cost just under . . . yes you guessed it $25. For three bottles of wine $15, $16, and $22, plus a glass my bill came to over $81 not including the generous tip I still gave despite my disappointment with this establishment. Never again and I will only recommend the Wine establishments that treat their...

I give corkscrew a solid 3.7 but I don’t have that option. So here we settle on a 4. The fact that we have wine bars in Omaha is awesome since I’ve been waiting for these since I was 20 and an avid wine drinker (I’m Italian, ok?) Service here is far from amazing and that’s my least favorite. The wine selection is nice and so are the appetizers. I soooo wish I could experience the patio but every time I’m there it’s cold and obviously patio heaters don’t exist 🤔 Management is great and so is the location. I will keep giving corkscrew my business as long as they keep offering cheese and other pairings for my wine 🍷 indulgences and perhaps someday I will experience...
