The Cordial Cork - Richmond

My first place at this establishment and I get raw burgers and too spicy to eat foods. For as much as they charge you for a meal here they do not have good quality. I myself ordered Mexican corn which was my first time ordering and to my tastes was too spicy. It was drowning it the sauce and only had a few bites and it was sent back to the kitchen and was never remade to my liking. But was still on my bill. My guest ordered a burger with mushrooms and Swiss as well done with the truffle fries which they ate the fries but when they got to their, well done burger it was very much pink inside. We got the burger back and it was made well done but was now chared burnt. We offered to just pay for the fries, the jacked up nachos and the alcohol drinks. Because that all we consumed. She took off the fries and the burger but not the corn that was also sent back. Also while the burger was being remade she tried rushing us to order desserts knowing my guest hadn 't even had his meal yet. She miss the opportunity to ask us if we need any more drinks or never bothered to ask of me wanted refills. Then when hading us the bill she was on a phone call. I don 't care if she was talking to the owner I would still say finish your phone call then deal woth your customers because it make the whole place and unpleasant experience for guest especially new comers.

So let me say I wish I could give a better review. The ambiance great, the waitress amazing. The water tasted off, so much so even coke can't hide the flavor. The armadillo eggs were sadly very underwhelming. The pretzels were great after i took off 90% of the salt pile. The rosoto was chunky and full of grainy cheese and the broccoli on top wasn't seasoned, I didn't mention this as our waitress was already being great I didn't want to be the complaining guest. They were out of the asparagus and mushrooms, but that happens. The kicker I think was the sesame stir fry, so little veggies. Looked like angle hair pasta for it and was over cooked and mushy, and lastly the chicken was over cooked and dry. That being said they were kind enough to compensate us for my husband's noodles, which is partly why I didn't mention my own dish I was happy enough to pay for our meal. As I said great service. But perhaps think burgers and fries should be the specialty for this place.

Excellent food and drink. We had the nachos and BLT and Beet soup, Roland with my Homies, and Macaroni and cheese,. And a Cheesecake to go. Can't wait to go back.I also had a drink called the Bellhop , it was very good.Food: 5/5

There isn't any small bread and cheese plate or something for your wine flight. No red meat. Chicken, fish. Had bread and a wine flight. Will return for an entreeFood: 4/5

It was dead. Go to Taco Bell instead of their taco night. I 've never had such terrible tacos. It 's like a fancy dinner place with the high prices and terrible Tacos. Would not recommend.Food: 1/5
