The Menu
Cork Dork’s menu is driven by the seasons, with ingredients sourced from the region’s best farms, ranchers, and purveyors. Each night, Chef Danny Amirian offers a seven-course tasting menu that evolves daily based on what is at its peak. For those who prefer to curate their own experience, an à la carte menu highlights the same commitment to thoughtful sourcing and refined California cooking.
Whether enjoyed course by course or ordered à la carte, every dish reflects the restaurant’s farm-to-cork philosophy.
