I was a diner at Corks many times in the last few years and was happy to hear that they would be revamping the place back in Autumn 2008. I wasn't sure what to expect but they did it right! The new interior is more casual (no more white linen with a ton of place settings and glassware) and up-to-date (doesn't feel like a 70s rec room in the wine cellar anymore!). The staff, as always, has been pleasant and quite helpful when it came to choosing from the numerous small vineyard wine selections (they only carry wines ""from the Americas""--as our server explained). The menu selections have expanded to include more deals driven by the economy. They recently implemented Steak Nights on Tuesdays where the 5 different steaks offered are 1/2 price as well as a selection of cabernet sauvignons to accompany.
Pros: ambience, service and all american wine list
Cons: parking, can be noisy
