Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Have to say this visit to Cornstone was very disappointing. We tried the Christmas menu, best advice steer clear if this. Of the 4 meals the Salmon was the best. No cutlery could cut or break the churro that accompanied the crab, duck was dried...out, pork charred. Not up to their usual standardMore

Dined here recently whilst visiting Cork. The standard of food & service compliment each other excellently. The restaurant holds great atmosphere and is perfect if looking to book for a nice evening meal/ special occasion.

Thank you as always to Michael and his wonderful team at the CornStore. My friend Jeff (from the US) and I always dine at the CornStore when he visits. On this trip we managed 2 evenings there (26th October and last night 3rd November) and...the food as always was top notch. Great food, great service (very attentive, welcoming and friendly staff) and such a great vibe. I have already made my Christmas booking, but for sure I will be in a few times before this.More

So….We were lucky enough to experience Cork in the gorgeous weather week at the beginning of September 2023….It was like being in The Mediterranean (that week….It was Magnificent!) As our last night treat we picked to go to The Cornstore Restaurant… And … Yes…. It...was ….. apart from the gorgeous company, the gorgeous night, the gorgeous food…. ( We really can’t find A Thing to complain about! ) So….A Special mention (if you please ) ….. to our server ♦️Daniele….♦️ He was Super Good and Efficient! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I were to come to Cork again, in the future…. If I were to have a night this good….and the stars were aligned like they were that night….even without the weather! I’m sure I’d still be raving about The Cornstore and it’s Beautiful Food and Service…. Nothing more for me to say. 👍 🇮🇪More

Starters where good, desert good and steak was poor. Service was slow. There is some great restaurants in Cork and this is unfortunately not one of them. Its a pale comparison to the one in limerick Would not recommend and won't be back.

The restaurant was fairly quiet, but it was 5pm. The food and service were excellent. Staff were friendly but not overbearing. We are never disappointed when we dine in the Cork Cornstore.
