The Cowboy is fantastic. Our service was terrific and the food better than ever. Steak perfectly cooked at medium rare…juicy and delicious! The artichoke appetizer is ridiculously good and the wedge salad traditionally fresh, crunchy, blue cheesy great!

If you're looking for a comforting mini getaway dining experience, The Cork kitchen is a must. Scenery overlooking beautiful stream and vineyards along with abundance of maple trees make the overall experience soothing and relaxing. The overall menu is delicately managed as it is subtle in variety. The ambiance is great, it's rather delicate noise levels make the dining experience comforting but loud enough to feel at ease. Make a visit and enjoy. Totally worth it.
