We had my bridal shower here. My maid of honor picked it out. We had the restaurant to ourselves before it opened to the general public for brunch. We only have 19 people, minimal booking is 20. All you can drink mimosas, Bellini, and Bloody Mary. Appetizers were good, entrees were decent, dessert was good.Food 4 starsDrink 5 starsServices 5 starsSpace 5 stars
A must do whenever in NY. Last time we went to the Chelsea Market location - smaller space - same great experience. This time we went to the original on E13th. We tried SOMM / Like a Boss flight. Also the Oregon and Mixed Tape flight. And took a turn at the blind tasting. The problem is you just won’t want to leave! Oh and got in a little wine reading.
Never have I had a bad experience here. Ever. Great service. Delicious wine, not pretentious in the least. Very cute space, with yummy food to soak up all that good wine you’ll inevitably consume. A must go for people who enjoy the finer things in life.
What a great Wine bar! Nice, professional staff who knows their business and a very fine wine list. I especially enjoyed the wine tasting menu. Will definitely go back!
Nice place with basically just huge selection of wine. Food is delicious and doesn’t take too long to prepare. Pleasant atmosphere.
Great selection of wine and service on point. We went for the sommelier section and were not disappointed, the wines were from different part of the world (Italy, San Francisco and South Africa) and were really different from each other.
Came here before in the past and enjoyed it unfortanently this time around wasnt that great. Wines were probably the only good thing thia night.Chacuterie board was decent the coppa was good where are the other salumi tasted very artificial and generic. The cheeses were good expect for the pecorino that was basically all rind 3 out of 5 pieces to be exact... Not fun to bite into a chunk of wax during dinner. The gravlax was tastless, burata and eggplant french fries also tastless meatballs were decent have had better but they werent bad. I hope I can revisit with a different experience but unfortanently that was my night.
I wish it was possible to rate 6 stars. Had a birthday dinner there. Am from Dubai and spent quite a bit of time trying to find the best restaurant for wine. Looked up the 100 best Wine Enthusiast list. Did research otherwise on the net: quite a few sites. This wasnt listed in the 100 but while I was looking up restaurants this came as a recommendation from Google Maps. So did a few others. Chose this one- and am super glad we did.We did like a tapas plus wine flight dinner.Ricotta Plum Toast (A+), Mushroom Flat bread (A+), Burrata Brulee (A), Brown Butter Cauliflower (A) and Shrimp Cocktail (B). Except for the shrimp all others were just amazing. Dessert was Ricotta Doughnuts and Blood Orange Cheesecake. Didnt enjoy the cheesecake but the Doughnuts were out of this world.For wine did the wine flight. 3 glasses of wine in each flight. In the middle of the 2nd flight was asked to stop by the family. I had the Sommelier Mixtape which had one Greek and 2 Italian (Emilia Romagna) and another of 4 reds and Born in the USA. All excellent.Andrew, the sommelier was par excellence. His knowledge about wine was amazing. Was very patient about my umpteen questions. The meal wouldnt have been half as good without him talking to us about the food and the wine.At the end of it, think why arent there more of these kind of restaurants.Next time in NYC, am coming back.Edit Dec 2019Came back with a friend. It was a rainy evening and I walked in the rain to get here. Had a great dinner with amazing wine.
Searched high (uptown/midtown) and low-ish (flatiron) for a spot that offered wine flights. Two places I stopped into said they used to offer them before I finally arrived at Corkbuzz right when they opened. Not only do they offer a red and a white flight, but they are BLIND flights, which is perfect for someone studying for their entry Somm exam. Loved the atmosphere, the house made ricotta, and the staffs vast knowledge of wine. Will definitely be back!
Great selection of wine here with very helpful staff!
Cheese and charcuterie board was okay. Needed a hard cheese to balance. Wine was good but very expensive.
Highly recommend this place for wine lovers.They have big long tables at the back, where they host wine classes, which are good for groups. A good selection of wine (and beer, cocktail, liquor), by glasses and by bottle. Staff are knowledgeable about the wine and very friendly.Food items are very wine pairing friendly. I personally found their small plates more interesting than entrees.I hosted a birthday dinner here, attended a few classes, and countless blind tastings, always very positive experience. Highly recommend!They have a champagne campaign: 50% off for all bottled champagnes after 9pm every night and all day Sunday. Should definitely take advantage of that!
Enjoyed catching up with a friend, arrived by 430p, shortly there after, it was busy. The wine flight tasting was fun. I would go back for other tastings and classes.
Great wines, great service! The staff was very helpful and really attentive. Loved every minute of it!
Great service, good food menu and wine flights. Staff are friendly and eager to assist with choosing wine.
Great ambiance, huge wine selection, but wine flights are just OK. Best is to chat with the somelier and let him curate.
The wine and service was great; however, unfortunately the burger and duck was very poorly made/ seasoned. I had to add ketchup to the duck to work around the horrible bland taste it had. The burger was also a bit burnt and had an old taste to it. Maybe the other choices would have been better, however I will not be returning here again. I would recommend looking for other places around the area.
This place is so fun! And the interior is awesome! The only thing that let me down was the ordering experience. This is a wine bar so in my opinion, the bartender should be able to recommend certain flavors for your preferred pallet. We verbalized to the bar tender that night that we want to order flights to try new ones out, but we were hesitant since we didn’t recognize the names. Instead of verbally giving us an idea of the flavors and essences of each flight, he pressured us to order one and then told us maybe one or two things about the wines... my flight was horrible. He didn’t hear me when I said I like floral and fruity flavors... NOT earthy. Other than my annoyance with that, the music was great and the selection was wide! Would be back... but would do my own research first to avoid another dissatisfying flight.
If you are a wine lover this is the place for you. Great service.
The food is aways excellent as is the wine list. One if my favorite things about Corkbuzz is that the servers are passionate about wine and love to talk about it with you. We dont get here enough. Shout outs to Amber and Dorian
Good, the sommeliers choice is nice to try.
Excellent spot to have happy hour wines and snacks. we got there early so it wasnt really busy and we could hear each other. I just had the house special white which was delicious and my drinking companion tried a few different wines. We also had the cacio e Pepe popcorn and the hand cut fries with Parmesan. Definitely coming back for more!
Delicious food and lovely wait staff. The nettle spanakopita was amazing!
Great selection of wines, appetizers and small plates. Friendly and knowledgable staff. Be sure to make a reservation as it tends to get busy during after work hours. Came in on a Thursday with some work friends and we did the blind tasting flight, a selection of red or white wines. Happy hour flight was $15 (+tax). Ive been here multiple times and would recommend to friends.
Corkbuzz is far more than a restaurant and wine bar, its a wonderful community for lovers of both wine and food. While quarantined, being able to take the virtual wine classes through Corkbuzz was absolutely amazing. At the time, I had been living over an hour and half from the nearest (wine) tasting groups in Boston, so being able to taste and interact with people who share the same passion for wine was and is awesome! Having bottles shipped to me blind, as part of one of the virtual classes, has also been immensely helpful in my studies for the Certified Sommelier exam. Not to mention, all the wines in the shipment were delicious. So grateful to learn from such knowledgable team and I cant wait to visit when Corkbuzz able to fully reopen.
The best picked out wine weve found in NYC. The tasting classes are extremely informative and their blind tasting from 4-6pm each day are extremely fun to do. If you want to appreciate wine and want learn a little more about what your buying go here! It also helps when a master somm picks out whats on the menu.
Great wine list and flight options galore, price points are quite reasonable. The food menu provides minimalist portions at plate prices. Service was quite attentive, waiters came by to get us water and ask us if we needed anything numerous times, additionally, theyre white knowledgeable!
Great place to grab drinks with friends - too busy talking to snap pics but this place had a large selection of drinks and a cool vibe.
Casual watering hole for wine enthusiasts. Designed for connoisseurs but equally welcoming to average joes, like my group.Lots of wine & the enthusiastic waiters are happy to impart their knowledge to clientele without making you feel like a total fool. Unlike some wine bars.They do have wine tasting events. These really cater to those who are students in the field.A nice offering of cheese & meat boards to compliment their wine selection that was really delicious. We heard about it & wanted to try it out. We were very pleased & will certainly return.
Great wine and really knowledgeable staff. It can be hard to find seating on a Friday, even at the bar, so reserve if its a high demand day. Make sure to try one of the flights - I loved the oranges, which I had never had before, but theyre all themed and great.
Cozy and chic wine bar. Always have great win selection. All the servers are very knowledgeable about each wine on the menu and give great recommendations. Their housemade ricotta cheese is a must try...
Cocktails are as expensive as any other in NYC (about $15 each), and the quality of the drinks is good, but nothing special. The staff is nice and the spot has a good feel.
Highly recommended wine bar, they have a great selection of wines by the glass and even greater selection of bottles. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of the specifics of each wine. I had a great time there, defitnetly will go again.
My bestie and I visited Corkbuzz after a Saturday night dinner as a place to have a few drinks and park ourselves for the evening. We wanted something fun but classy, and Corkbuzz delivered! We had SO MUCH FUN! They had great late night music playing, and it wasnt terribly busy for late on a Saturday night. Dorian was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and had great recommendations. Sean was also so gracious and friendly! I will definitely be returning! Highly recommend if youre looking for a classy wine bar with an excellent selection and knowledgeable staff!
We attended a wine and cheese event at Corkbuzz, and it was lovely. Dorian was our host for the evening and he did a marvelous job! Weve also been there in the past, primarily for wine, but have also enjoyed their appetizers.
Great wine in a lovely setting. They have multiple wine flight options too.
I am a local and have been to both locations numerous times. Wine and food is terrific at both. Service at Chelsea Market is fair to good, while the 13th street location is abominable. By that I mean they go out of their way to behave rudely and entitled. No specific incident, just regular experience and observation. Tonight I spent more than $150 on two people at 5:30 pm and was inevitably sneered at.
My favorite wine bar in the Union Square area. They have a huge selection of things theyll pour you by the glass, and if you put yourselves in the staffs hands they will definitely treat you right. Ive been lavished with some wonderful glasses here by people who really knew how to listen closely and fulfill my wildest wine dreams.
Corkbuzz is a great little wine bar with a well-curated selection of interesting wines. Some varietals are familiar, others are more obscure. Friendly and knowledgeable staff help guide your selection. Food is delicious. Brussels sprouts and cheese selection are superb. Steak with bone marrow butter is rich and meaty; roasted bass with curry broth and spicy slaw is light and bright. Desserts are hard to resist but not standout. Had a fab meal.
Laura does an exemplary job of maintaining a wonderful atmosphere and a challenging wine list. I can always find something good no matter my taste. Try the food also! The chef is great and the pairing options are endless.
The Beaujolais flight was disappointing. It was very busy on a Friday night. The prices were high (although thats to be expected when ordering wine by the glass). That being said I liked the decor, and the communal table was fun for a quick drink.
Super cozy place to pop in for an afternoon glass and some apps to share. Our bartender was very helpful and suggested we try the fresh ricotta made in house— HANDS DOWN the most delicious cheese I’ve ever had. Will be back for that alone!
Ive long been a fan of the Corkbuzz experience in both NYC locations, as well as the Charlotte outpost, but during the Covid-related closures and restrictions, Corkbuzz immediately switched gears and began offering online Zoom classes--taught by the excellent Somm/Beverage Director Ryan Totman; DipWSET Amber Rill; wine-famous guest speakers; and the one-and-only MS/Proprietor Laura Maniec-Fiorvanti. The virtual, hour-long classes are available daily and, as for as little as $10, may cover region, sub-region, varietal, viticulture, vinification, or something else entirely. Participation via Zoom is encouraged but not required; and the content can sometimes be advanced for a novice—but there is nothing covered that isn’t interesting to a true aficionado! And if you happen to be in the industry, preparing for exams, or are just THAT hardcore, go to Corkbuzz.com immediately and sign up ASAP.
I’ve never had a more negative experience dining out in New York as I have at Corkbuzz. Our server, Andrew M, was openly complaining and making fun of people at my table, to the maitre D, just 5 feet away from our table. We heard every word. It was rude, insulting, offensive, and by definition, harassment. We made regular drink/food requests and was not rude to anyone. I understand being a server can get hectic during peak hours, but handling a lot of drink orders is what the job calls for. I regret giving my business to Corkbuzz and will not advise anyone to do so, so this behavior is not encouraged.
A great place to drink a bottle (or two) of wine whether youre an expert or a novice when it comes to wine. The staff is very friendly and informative and will answer any questions you may have. Also, the desserts are to die for! We had a white chocolate pudding with Blueberry sauce that was amazing.
Ive been taking Corkbuzz classes remotely for the last several weeks on blind tasting and pairing and they have been so helpful. I am a level 1 sommelier through CMS, and Ive just been able to build off of my existing knowledge through the classes. Laura is a great instructor and provides great resources, examples, and exercises to illustrate concepts. Highly recommend!
Excellent wines and knowledgeable wait staff. Great menu but the food was not as exciting or unique as the descriptions. So focus on what they are known for: wine.
Amazing place to learn about wine with a friendly staff who shares the passion of the owner. Food is changing and diverse and stands up on its own and as a nice compliment to the wine. Champagne campaign is one of the best values in the city.
Corkbuzz is the epitome of what I love most about dining out. It creates a cozy yet modern atmosphere, excellent food, a generous selections of wine, paired with wonderful service. Everyone in the restaurant is very knowledgeable about the food and wine served. I love shared style plates which allows me to order 5-6 different items to try - they are all out of this world delicious.
My boyfriend and I visited Corkbuzz after coming across a coupon for wine tasting. We were pleasantly surprised by the impressive wine selections, delicious small plates, and calming ambience. Will definitely return!
Wonderful ambience and great service. Farm to table seasonal menu is both unique and delicious. The waiter assisted with wine pairing and was very considerate. Top notch!
Corkbuzz has never let me down. The wine selection is fantastic, and the staff is extraordinarily knowledgable. Their classes are fun, too, especially the ones with Laura.
Extensive wine list with great options at various price points (including by the glass and flights) - really tasty small plates to pair with too, and cheese from Murrays. HIGHLY recommend the house-made ricotta.
Have visited Corkbuzz several times and each time was a delight. The very knowledgeable servers steered me towards wines that beautifully enhanced the food we ordered. Fabulous Foie Gras, pork belly, potatoes & duck confit, beef cheeks, bone marrow...everything was fabulous. Love the atmosphere - have sat at both the convivial community tables as well as the two tops. Great selection of hard-to-find wines and unique gems with a story. Floor somms and waitstaff work well with both knowledgeable people and also those looking to learn more about wine, or just enjoy a glass or two Looking forward to a return visit!
Delicious wine and warm, friendly atmosphere. They need to expand the menu to include vegan options. The gluten free pasta was mushy and unappetizing. No reason an egg free pasta cant be included which, in my opinion, it better than egg pasta anyway. More vegetable entrees too!
Good date spot, especially for pre-movie drinks. The staff has always been really helpful at picking out some fun wines to drink and the food menu, while not huge, has a great variety of things to choose from that have all been tasty
After seeing the TV series Uncorked on Esquire Network we had to come try Corkbuzz. We came about 30 min before our reservation to grab a drink. We sat at the bar and were served by a lovely gentleman. We talked to him for about 30 min about his culinary background and his experience thus far in his hunt for the coveted sommelier certification. Really nice guy. He let us try some great wines and told us all about them. We were seated shortly after.We started off with the duck salumi and house ricotta. Both were great, especially the ricotta.Next we got the kale salad (it was very typical, not memorable), the beet salad (liked this, didnt love it though), the brussels (holy moly, incredible), and the bacon wrapped dates (yum).We got a bottle of white and red at the recommendation of our server (who was also a certified sommelier). Both were very good.
The classes are always superb. The restaurant puts more emphasis on a fun atmosphere and less on star food and wine pairing. Informal and a great spot to relax with friends.
Very knowledgeable bartenders with excellent wine selection and great small plates. We found the service a bit chaotic - everyone was doing everything and it was hard to get what we needed - but we would still come back.
Good wine, limited food selection, snacks only.
It was brilliant, the food came quickly and of good quality. The staff were lovely the food was healthy with small treats on the side it was great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone either travelling to New York or just lives there and has never been.
Excellent blind wine tasting class with Andrew! So fun to learn more about wines. Highly recommend for a fun date
Good wine, but incongruous atmosphere. Picture yourself sipping a decadent glass of wine in a bar with upscale/modern decor, but there is Gwen Stefani music playing in the background and you can see tourists in Chelsea Market through the window.
Nice place to get drinks with friends! Great place for a date night as well.
Just came in for drinks late tonight..excellent cocktails, expert barman, great service. Menu looks amazing, well be sure to try it next time!
Wonderful wine selection. Also amazing expertise among the staff. An exotic collection plus interesting food to accompany it.
Great wine list. We sat at the bar, and ordered several tasting plates to accompany our custom wine flights. Nice experience!
The wine and cocktails were very good and the bartenders knew their stuff (though slightly stuff about it. Dont be swayed in by the Champagne Campaign, you will still be spending at least $55 a bottle.
Great wine selection, tasty food, and very nice staff. A good place to go if you want to try a new wine.
We were really looking forward to visiting Corkbuzz when visiting the city and it was a let down. The overall mood from the staff came off as negative as if they didnt want to working with one another. While the line was delicious, everything else was off-putting. Ended up being a Buzzkill.
Great service. The chefs selection of cheese and meats was delicious! Wide selection of white and red wine. Highly recommend!
Pretty, a real wine bar, large knowledgeably chosen range of wines by the glass. Good appetizers. Reservations advised.
Come here to enjoy one of their many wines or take a wine education class, often taught by the Master Sommelier. The food here is delicious as well - be sure to order the bucatini.
SLOW FOOD / inattentive service - 45+ min to bring out a cheese plate that we ended up having to cancel since we had to leave. Very disappointing as it’s quite pretty with nice wine.
Great atmosphere and an even better selection of unique and interesting wines. Only wish I had more time to dive even deeper!
Meh. Mediocre service, slow prep (1.5 hrs from order until served food). Duck hash item had about 2oz of duck in it. Side salads not dressed. Half price champange bottles was nice.
New favorite place! They play great music here, great location near Union Square, and love their wine and cheese selection! Perfect for the after work crowd.
I unremarkable place worth mediocre wines, terrible service and even more terrible music. I think the only reason it exists are the tourists flooding the Chelsea market to drink a glass and forget this place forever
Love this wine bar and their ricotta appetizer is to die for! Great selection of wines and a very informed and helpful staff.
Amazing wines, amazing food. If you are in WV, just come
Great space, good for groups. Tapas are tasty with a looooong wine list! Also do great cocktails... Can be custom
The wine selections are excellent and the small bites were delicious. I think the name is unfortunate but don’t let that deter you
Fantastic wines, great atmosphere. Wonderful place for a date or to catch up with a friend.
Any place where I am greeted by my first name, and treated like family, is a good place. Add to that, amazing food and wine. That’s Corkbuzz in a nutshell.
Always great, Corkbuzz is a staple and a guarantee to enjoy the service, good variety of wine and fantastic sharing dishes.
Great chill place long on wine knowledge and fresh flavors and short on ‘tude. Loved it.
Great wine bar for small bites and drinks. They have a great champagne deal after a certain time
Great place to have a small party of 15 to 25 people. good selection of appetizers and entrees and a great selection of wines
Great wine selection in a lovely setting. They have multiple wine flight options.
Good wine selection, on the pricey side. Food is better than average.
Incredible wine list and very knowledgeable staff. Best date spot in Union sq area.
It’s a co-working space in the morning.The owner has my respect for being creative and finding different streams of revenue from the same space.More people should do it!
Helpful staff, great food. The blind tasting is super fun.
Delicious pastas, especially when combined with a flight of wine
Great wine selection and fun atmosphere, but usually pretty crowded.
Great service, cool energy. Will be back!
Great wine, good food, decent service. Would go back only for the wine.
Great wine bar; try the sommelier’s choice flight. Great to sit at the bar and chat.
Not sure why this place is popular. It seems to want to make wine a forefront feature of which it seems like its an act trying to fulfill your expectations.
Terrrible service, the waitress was rude and unintelligible. She also poured us a very small glass after we asked her to repeat what the special was. Terrible experience.
Nice atmosphere. Good wine. Tasty food. Accommodating staff.
Great wine tasting lead by Nancy
Excellent wines, great service. Looking forward to my next visit.
Absolutely incredible and personal experience. Will definitely be going back on a consistent basis.
Great wine selection and individual attention from a knowledgeable staff
Loved the wine flights. Staff was knowledgeable. Gougeres were delightful.
Would definitely go back. Great area. Great cheese. Excellent wine selection.
This is a great place for a good glass of wine and small nibbles. Wish they were a bit cheaper though
Never knew there was a place like this. I personally love wine and Champaign and this is the place you can enjoy at 50% off.
Great food, service and wine! Would be great for a big group!
Great wines by the glass and nice selection of small bites.
Everyone is so knowledgeable about wine, if you want to learn this is a great place!
Amazing wine and amazing staff. Incredibly knowledgeable and kind!

Great wine flights, charcuterie and cheese, and even entrees.

Not worth the visit
Love the wine
Great spot
Corkbuzz is a must-see in Chelsea Market. The attendant Cara is worth every second with her wine tips. Fair price and good food.
Perfect wine place. Love interior and wines. They have great wines selection.Great place to drink wine. Opened by the youngest master sommelier in the United States. Due to the influence, we have a variety of selections, good for opening until late, a relaxing space, and a place where you can chat with friends while drinking wine. Spaces for baby showers and team events are also available, and after 9pm, champagne is 50% off.
Nice place we used for a wine tasting. Organization of the premises that can be improved
The taste is good, still as good as ever. Back often with family and friends.
I only had a red wine and it was very good.
Very nice place! The food is delicious
Highly recommended very nice furnished restaurant
Good restaurant bar

2022-05-06I had a romantic and intimate date here with my fiancé.I recommend trying the wine tastings. It was great to sample a variety from around the world.Side note, you cannot come here without ordering the house made ricotta! It’s to die for!

2021-12-12Great BTG list. Nice champagne list. Unsure whether they still have retail price champagne promotion. Decent food.Don’t order any fish crudo, as the one I had a few months ago wasn’t fresh. The food I ordered 2 weeks ago (beef tartare, salads etc) were good. The staffs are knowledgeable and friendly.

2022-03-09Such a wonderful experience with Corkbuzz! We made a bridal shower for my future daughter in law this past weekend, and it could not have been better. Leading up to the event, Laura was informative, flexible and very responsive to work with, as was the manager, Preston. It was great to have the entire place to ourselves, and the food, drinks and the service were fantastic! The day of the party, there was Ryan, and another coordinator/server who made everything run perfectly smooth, we couldnt have asked for more! Highly recommend!

2022-04-03Absolutely everything at this restaurant is top-notch. Best to sample a whole bunch of dishes because each and every one of them is excellent. Service is completely understated but attentive, friendly, and adorable. The wine suggestions are always spot on and excellent. The atmosphere is casual but very chic.

2021-09-30Lovely place to visit with friends or a date night. The decor is warm and cozy. The staff is friendly, even gave my pup some water. Many selections of wines from different regions, my personal favorite being the skin contact. Cheeseboard and desert were quite scrumptious!!

2022-04-03We boldly went with the Three Blind Wines, which is a blind taste of 3 reds or 3 whites (your pick). We were told this is what sommeliers get and they fill out a sheet identifying the wine based on its color, density, smell, taste, aura, spirit animal etc. OK, maybe not the latter two, but you get the idea. This sheet was massive, and Im pretty proud to say we almost went the whole nine yards. In the end, the answers they revealed didnt really tell us if we identified the different attributes correctly -- they just told us the region and type of grape. (Thats a cautionary tale for anyone embarking on the blind taste test expecting to get answers to everything.)Besides the wine, food here was excellent. We didnt dine but shared a couple of apps. The housemade ricotta is delicious -- I highly recommend it. The fries were also very good (came with a generous amount of truffle oil), but the ricotta was on a whole different playing field.Apparently they are also known for their champagne selection. And Im told that champagnes are half off at some point in the night. Guess thats one more reason to come back.

2022-05-23Lovely space, and it is bigger than it looks from the front. Bartenders explain wine clearly and kindly, they didnt make me feel bad asking questions. Good selection and if wine isnt your thing, they have cocktails and mocktails available.
Review №8
2022-01-27Very accommodating for two people with an hour before our reservation elsewhere. Normally wed sit at the bar but with that area full, the host gladly seated us in the dining room - not a shred of worry. Our waiter knew her wines, and the by-the-glass list (most under $20, with a few stellar choices higher than that) was stocked with a number of uncommon varietals - among others, Pelaverga, Donzhelino, Cinsaut (a favorite) as a rose - she was happy to discuss before pouring. Though we did not partake, the dinner menu looks amazing - and reasonable - and we will return for the full experience soon.

2019-09-10Excellent wine selection and great pairing with dinner. We hosted a business dinner and it was a great spot for food, discussion, and drinks. Its a lively and louder atmosphere but not too loud for a business dinner.Service was great and the staff explained quite a bit of detail about each wine and gave each individual at the table a recommended pairing with their dinner.Highly recommend.

2019-02-02I was invited to Corkbuzz by Black Girls Dine Too for an impromptu meetup with fellow Instagram followers and wine lovers to celebrate Black History Month. It was a very enjoyable and educational experience. The atmosphere is well-curated and the music is modern and urban (whatever that means). Pairing fine wines, delicious cheeses and charcuterie, and hip hop makes for an interesting experience for younger wine lovers, but, except for our table, there was otherwise no diversity to be seen on a Friday night (my reason for docking half a star). Also, this establishment, while classy, is not upscale, but the prices are on the higher end of the casual dining scale, considering. 6 of us split a $480 bill, but we had our fill of wines and cheese for about 3 hours. Some items were reduced to half off after 9, as well, so that helped alot. Our server, Ryan, was well-educated on our wines and attentive to our needs. He introduced me to a gorgeous 13 year old Reisling from Austria. We had fun and I would definitely consider returning again.
