Atmosphere
One of the most unique aspects of Corks is the open kitchen through which all guests must pass to enter the dining room. Renovations have opened the space, creating an airier, brighter entryway while showcasing the kitchen as the main event.
Because Corks still features an impressive (primarily domestic) wine list and employs a staff knowledgeable enough to navigate it (as well as the cheese selections), it offers the luxury of "culture on a budget." Retaining all of the sophisticated charm of its former self, but with a revised menu and facelift, Corks offers a distinctively cultured dining experience in Federal Hill. Chic (and affordable) selections are served in a comfortable dining room where The Shins and Sufjan Stevens serenade diners at a reasonable volume. Perfectly romantic for first dates or anniversaries, Corks is also accommodating for larger parties of friends who want to catch up in a more refined atmosphere.
