I almost hate to draw public attention to the Cork because I selfishly want to keep it all to myself and close friends. Maintaining the classic supper club approach to dining, the menu is primarily steak with some seafood options, and it gets it right. The entrees are thoughtful despite their simplicity and abundant with natural flavor. The salad bar, while not extensive, is the very best in Fargo. The dressings alone will leave a lasting impression. For something lighter, drinks and appetizers in the lounge are phenomenal. Stuffed mushrooms, fried shrimp, spinach and artichoke dip, smoked salmon ... the list goes on and on and you can't order wrong! The happy hour special makes the options feel like a steal. To top it off, the staff will be your friends before your stay has concluded. It is a warm, welcoming environment literally and figuratively with indoor fireplaces and a cozy relaxed ambiance. It's a family favorite and now, a former family secret.

If I could rate this as 'Zero' stars I would. Ate here last night for the third time in the past few years, thinking it had to have just been off-nights for the cook and staff. Well, I was wrong. Ribs fall off the bone, BBQ sauce is good but flavor is non-existent. Baked potato was terrible. Girlfriend orders the soup with "fresh" cornbread. Well, it made fresh croutons for sure. Hard. As. A. Rock. And they still served it to her! Her entree is the Blackened Salmon...it shows up un-blackened so she shyly asks if this actually is the blackened salmon on the menu...the waitress doesn't even know without asking manager. What happens next is the "best" part of the meal...she arrives with blackened seasoning from the back saying the cook forgot to put this on after her cooked it. Well, come on, don't insult us. Blackened seasoning goes on before it's cooked, not as a dipping spice. Save your $100 to eat here and have a few drinks. Much better options in town. *I'm not much for complaining but three below average experiences and the side of blackened seasoning was too much to not write this post. I'm sure it's a privately owned establishment as well which makes it harder but for the prices you need to provide a much, much better experience.

I got a steak with mushrooms and teriyaki sauce with a baked potato and the salad bar. They cook the meat exactly how you ask for it. It was done to perfection, seasoned properly and BIG. The sauce was delicious. Mushrooms were also good. The salads are fresh and good as well. It is quite nice in there and the service I got was good. Prices are a little high, but it beats going to a chain for a steak dinner.

I like their appetizer choices and prices, and the ambience is warm & quaint. I haven't been as impressed with the regular menu food. For the prices you pay, I think you could get better food at Doolittles. I like that this restaurant has a long history if Fargo and is one of the few options in this part of town - but it is not something I will think about going to very often. I believe they have their regulars so that could mean my experiences weren't great or those regulars are just creatures of habit or comfort. If you are just looking for apps and drinks, then I would say give it a try. Adding another comment here after another visit. We visited this time with strictly apps and drinks on our mind. We enjoyed our food very much - the bread bowl with spinach dip as well as the lavosh.

3 stars because the French onion soup is amazing. I've given many of sea foods, steaks and apps a shot and I've been mainly disappointed and at the price point we expect more. I keep coming back for the French onion soup!

Lavosh isn't on their regular menu but it is the best thing they have... ask for the works lavosh!

The atmosphere was pleasant enough, although it kind of felt like a dungeon. French onion soup was very tasty. Beer battered shrimp were cooked perfectly, but a little too salty. I had a bite of the boy's prime rib & it was ok. Overall, the food was ok, service was ok, but I expected more for the price.

The Cork used to be our go-to big-night restaurant, but we haven't been there in quite a few years. We looked forward to our visit last Thursday ... but we were surprised and disappointed. The server was distracted and the food lackluster. We thought the once-famous prime rib was surprisingly bland and flavorless. Our server did nothing to accommodate a very modest request that should have been no problem at a restaurant of this calibre. The area in which we were seated was very noisy, with tables so tightly jammed together that my neighbor at the next had to stand to let me out from behind ours. It was as expensive as we expected but not nearly as good as the price and reputation seemed to promise.

As far as atmosphere goes it's by far the best place in town. Definitely the best bar in town but it's a little spends. The food is hit and miss. Definitely not as good as it was years ago. The last time I ordered dessert there it tasted like something you'd buy in the freezer section at Walmart,,,, and it was still frozen in the middle.

Not knowing what to expect since it's been at least 10 years from the last time I've dined here, I was very disappointed. Highlights of the meal were the service and cocktails. Everyone was very friendly and attentive, the martinis were good albeit a little weak for my taste, but the food was beyond help. I had the teriyaki shrimp, but the plate in front if me was a pile of overcooked wild rice with sautéed veggies and shrimp drenched in butter. No teriyaki flavor and the plate was covered in grease. Not even pleasant to look at let alone eat. Sit at the bar and have a cocktail and an appetizer, but stay away from the dining room.

Food was always good. Menu isn't too comprehensive but it is good for what it is. Prefer, actually, sitting in the bar. The "warming" drinks or after dinner drinks are great and the bar is cute, small, and cozy. I have enjoyed drinking here. It is like our own private bar since it is never very busy. The outside patio is cute for nice days.

The drinks are great here and the food is good however the service is embarrassingly bad unless the manager is taking care of u

A down spiral battle... The Cork and Cleaver was THE place for a great steak in Fargo, ND...but that was when I was younger. Unfortunately, the last 5 experiences I have had there keep going downhill. Unorganized. That is the only thing can be said for the last few members of their wait staff I have interacted with. 20 minutes after being seated, a waitress stops by to take my dinner order...but "can't help you" with the fact that I don't even have a glass of water, let alone a real drink in front of me. When I ask for my steak done to a nice medium, it should not arrive at my table with a brownish grey color. I can't remember the last time I had a steak that was done to my asking, usually overdone. The thing that keeps this place from a single star rating is the salad bar and French Onion Soup. Both are outstanding. The salad bar has some excellent veggies on it along with some interesting noodle dishes. Always fresh tasting and comes with many of the menu items. The French Onion soup is delicious and a great way to warm up on a cold night. Lastly, I will continue going there for the lavash. It is a signature appetizer and is wonderful. Maybe head over to the Cork and Cleaver for some wine and a classy starter...but not much else.

This place used to be great 10 years ago...The Cork has really taken a nose dive, the service and quality have really dipped, I think I'll make my own lavosh at home from now on...

I was looking for a steak place and found this gem. I had the cooks choice steak and LOVED it. Fantastic food! I went there later in the evening where it was not crowded and the service was excellent. I recommend it highly to anyone looking for a great meal!
