点评:Out of all the restaurants in Boulder we chose Cork to celebrate my birthday and my brother’s birthday. According to his doctors this will be the last birthday he will see, so this was a very unique and special night.
The staff was pleasant and seated us right away. The acoustics did nothing to dampen the really loud tables around us. I ordered a cocktail which turned out to be tasty, but about half the size of most cosmos I’ve had. I ordered the halibut special, my wife ordered the filet special (the waiter did not mention the price of these), my brother had a hamburger and my sister-in-law a Caesar salad. The halibut was dry, somewhat fishy and nothing at all like the juicy, flakey, wonderful halibut I’m used to in expensive restaurants. After one bite I pushed it aside. The waiter took it away and offered to get a menu for a different choice. Meanwhile, my brother offered a bite of the hamburger. He ordered medium rare, but it was well done. I’ve had better hamburgers in fast food joints. I then noticed my sister in law wasn’t eating her salad. It was just plain bad. Relatively tasteless, with a fishy, anchovy aspect to it. My wife’s filet was small, but done nicely. It wasn’t til later I discovered that it was actually filet and lobster. But the lobster turned out to be a tiny strip no bigger than a piece of shrimp sitting on top of the meat. All of that was bad enough but when we got the bill I was amazed. They did take the halibut off, but the filet was absurdly expensive for what we got.
They offered a free dessert which my brother agreed to. It took awhile to get it and by that time we all just wanted to get out of there.
Beyond disappointing.
There are so many better choices in Boulder that I highly doubt we’ll ever go back for dinner.

工作人员很愉快,马上就给我们安排了座位。声学效果并没有抑制我们周围非常吵闹的桌子。我点了一杯鸡尾酒,结果证明它很好吃,但大约是我喝过的大多数宇宙的一半。我点了特价比目鱼,我妻子点了特价菲力牛排(服务员没有提到这些的价格),我哥哥点了汉堡包,嫂子点了凯撒沙拉。大比目鱼是干的,有点腥,一点也不像我在昂贵的餐馆吃过的多汁的、薄片状的、美味的大比目鱼。咬了一口后,我把它推到一边。服务员把它拿走了,并提出要一份不同选择的菜单。与此同时,我哥哥给了我一口汉堡包。他点了三分熟,但做得很好。我在快餐店吃过更好吃的汉堡包。然后我注意到我的嫂子没有吃她的沙拉。这简直太糟糕了。相对无味,带有鱼腥味和凤尾鱼味。我妻子的鱼片很小,但做得很好。直到后来我才发现它实际上是菲力和龙虾。但龙虾原来是一条小条,不比放在肉上的一片虾大。所有这些都已经够糟糕了,但是当我们收到账单时,我感到很惊讶。他们确实去掉了大比目鱼,但菲力牛排对于我们得到的东西来说贵得离谱。
他们提供了我哥哥同意的免费甜点。花了一段时间才得到它,到那时我们都只想离开那里。
除了令人失望。
博尔德有太多更好的选择,我非常怀疑我们会不会回去吃晚饭。
