My spouse, who is vegan, usually has limited choices like a beyond burger, a dry salad, or a curry dish, but here he had a full menu to choose from. He thoroughly enjoyed his vegan pea risotto, cannellini spread, espresso dessert, and portobello salad. I had the opposite experience, opting for the crab sherry soup, wagyu medallions, portobello salad, and a parfait. The wine selection is quite impressive as well. My only (minor) suggestion would be to play some soft background music. This was the best meal we've had in Fredericksburg, and we truly appreciated the inclusive menu that caters to various dietary restrictions, including options for vegans, vegetarians, and those with gluten sensitivities.

My boyfriend ordered a steak cooked medium, but it was served rare. I found my scallop entrée to be on the small side—I received four scallops with some dressings, which felt insufficient. Throughout the meal, we enjoyed wine pairings with each course. However, the evening took a turn when, at dessert, our server brought us a wine pairing. At that moment, a man who seemed to be a manager or owner publicly reprimanded her for making a mistake in serving us the wine. This incident was quite unprofessional, especially since it occurred in front of other customers. To add to our disappointment, we noticed him returning to the bar twice to drink while on the job. Due to this experience, we will not be returning to Cork and Table.
