Cork Tree Tavern - Amherst

Best burger I have ever had! Great atmosphere, loved the peach mule! Saving room for dessert next time! Only miss was the app we got: truffle balsamic popcorn was damp and not appealing.

Can't beat their happy hour martinis...beet salad is great!..hope they don't charge a thing

Great little spot in a cute corner of Amherst. We came here from Oberlin after exploring basically all the options there over the course of several viaits there are some great spots, but inquiring minds want to know what else is in the area . We are outside on the sheltered patio which was lovely well until a couple decided to smoke multiple cigarettes on the sidewalk 10 feet from our table near the end of our meal . Passing trains can be noisy at times but traffic is otherwise not a problem. Cocktails were good with a decent selection of draft beer, creative mixed drinks, and good wine choices they've won a Wine Spectator award for their cellar . The focaccia style bread with herbed butter was warm and tasty. All of the entrees had a little flair poached cod with pea puree, grilled shrimp pasta, and grilled swordfish with Asian slaw but I have to admit that my cod was pretty bland, though well cooked not overcooked! . The stat was probably the steak, not only for its massive size, but because it was so tender and the roasted potatoes with it were practically irresistible. After dinner we shared a nice and light lemon parfait we're kind of a chocolate and Ice cream crowd, but the parfait didn't last four minutes on the table as it went well with coffee. The service deserves praise too, since we were with my elderly parents with various visual and hearing issues that the staff handled with skill and respect.

Chef Rob spoke to me about my plant-based needs and made a meal for me that was beyond spectacular. Thank you for making dining out so fabulous.

Diverse menu from their own twist on a burger to unique chef's creations. There is something for everyone and all are outstanding!
