Absolutely excellent! Crazy cork is a lovely place to enjoy a celebration or just a cozy spot to enjoy date night!
I had the pleasure of enjoying my birthday and found the service and quality to be exceptional. Randy was helpful in helping me select some dishes to serve my guests and the servers were helpful in kind in helping with wine selection. They even provided us generous samples to help us make our decisions.
The food was also stellar! The plates were all shareable bites that paired nicely with the wine and felt easy to pass around the large table. The prosciutto wrapped dates stood out as one of my favorites but the flatbreads were a close second. None of the food was too heavy and just felt like the perfect sized plates to keep a drink company!
Can’t wait to return! Thanks, Randy and team for providing a great experience!

The Crazy Cork Wine Bar is a fantastic spot for food and wine lovers. This is a true retreat, quiet, cozy, and beautifully designed with cork-lined walls, velvet magenta chairs, and striking artwork by Leanne Laine. It feels intimate and homey.
We have attended two of their wine dinners in June and August, and both were exceptional. Chef Amanda is nothing short of amazing. She previously created outstanding dishes at Cress in DeLand, and her creativity shines at Crazy Cork. Working from a tiny kitchen with just a small electric cooktop, she produces food that dazzles both the eyes and palate. At the June dinner, the scallop crudo was delicate and bright, lifted by citrus and wee bit of heat, while the ricotta gnudi was luxuriously creamy with a lemony freshness. The porchetta was melt-in-your-mouth, balanced by sweet and savory duck fat raisins. At the August Spanish dinner, the pulpo was tender with a smoky char, the clams brought the essence of the sea enriched by saffron and tomato, and the chorizo paired savory spice with the sweetness of golden raisins. The wine pairings were equally thoughtful, including a boutique still Xarel-lo rose, a grape I had only ever seen used in Cava, which was unique and memorable. Each course from both of these dinners was elevated by wines that ranged from crisp Prosecco to structured Barolo, juicy Garnacha, and decadent Pedro Ximenez sherry.
The regular menu is also excellent. Their wine list spans both old world and new world wines. The whipped feta dip is tangy and creamy, especially satisfying when spread on the warm, toasted focaccia. The eggplant in the eggplant arrabbiata is tender with fresh mozzarella, parmesan, and a tomato-basil sauce that delivers just the right kick. The baked goat cheese and artichoke dip is rich and earthy, brightened by preserved lemon emulsion and a crunchy sunflower seed crumble. The combination of goat cheese and artichoke is just brilliant. Each dish is tapas-sized, perfect for sharing and pairing with wine.
The staff is another reason Crazy Cork stands out. Eddie and Sean are both knowledgeable sommeliers who know their stuff and can recommend excellent selections. Their passion for wine comes through in every interaction, and they make the experience feel personal. Eddie once even surprised us with complimentary tickets to a local comedy show, which was such a generous gesture. At the Italian wine dinner, Caitlin, a distributor, went out of her way to share contact information for a winery in Sardinia, Italy. When we visited the winery in August having mentioned her company, we were given the royal treatment!
What makes Crazy Cork special is not only the food and wine but the overall experience. The setting is intimate, the service is warm, and you leave feeling like you have had a truly memorable night out. Chef Amanda’s passion and creativity come through in every dish.
For couples or anyone who loves scratch-made food paired with carefully chosen wines, this place is a must. We cannot wait to see what future dinners hold!

An absolute Gem right here in Oviedo on the Park...a truly impressive number of wines (low to high depending on your budget), delicious food and small platters, wonderful atmosphere (cozy inside, and a nice outside patio as well)...perfect for a date night or simply stopping by to unwind. I hope my neighbors will stop by and support this place...it's a real delight right here in our own back yard. Happy Saturday, Mark
P.S. Pictured is freshly made mozzarella cheese with a crisp baguette...wine and cheese are bffs :-)

You don’t know how happy I am that Oviedo has a local wine bar. Mainly for two reasons—i love wine, and i love food. This place is pricy, but it is without a doubt worth it. I came two days in a row. The first night with my fiancè for a date night dinner, and the next day for a solo lunch to capitalize on their happy hour deal which gives you a whopping 20% off your entire bill between 4-6pm on weeknights. Great deal if you ask me, and drops the price down a bit. Let me tell you, i have tried many things on the menu so far, and am determined to try it all.
In order my favorites are: the summer risotto, the escargot, the meatballs, the heirloom tomato bruschetta, the prosciutto wrapped figs and lastly the truffle mushrooms flatbread. However, if i’m being honest, every single thing i’ve eaten was delicious. The focaccia is good too, to soak up the interesting wine selections they have. The service is extremely knowledgeable, these guys know their stuff! They are really welcoming and friendly too. I’m the type of person who likes to chat with servers when i go out alone, and these guys definitely carried a conversation and kept me engaged. I think i might be your biggest fan, will definitely be back soon to try some more yummy food! Thank you again!
