Valentine’s Day is all about finding the perfect romantic dinner spot—without the hassle of months-long reservations. A nationwide survey has ranked Cork & Flame in Evans as Georgia’s top hidden gem for a memorable Valentine’s meal.
The restaurant was the number one restaurant in Georgia and ranked number 46 nationwide.
🍷 Who Made it Happen: The survey, conducted by Sacramento-based Zinfandel Grille, asked diners to share their favorite under-the-radar restaurants that deliver exceptional food and ambiance without the waitlist drama. The results celebrate cozy, intimate spots where charm and quality take center stage.
🌟 Why Cork & Flame Stands Out: This Evans restaurant is a haven for wine lovers and food enthusiasts alike. With a carefully curated wine list and meticulously prepared high-quality meats, it’s a place where flavors are meant to be savored. The elegant but approachable atmosphere makes it perfect for a romantic night out, whether it’s your first Valentine’s together or your fiftieth.
💡 Also Worth Noting: Due South in Peachtree City made the list at #99 nationwide. Known for its hearty Southern flavors and cozy, rustic atmosphere, it’s a favorite among locals.
