Salt on Food

A Very Unique Dining Experience


Come taste the perfect marriage of delicious small plates, enticing entrees  and an outstanding array of wines and cocktails for every palate. We have created what we think is the most unique and exciting dining experience in the Coachella Valley!

Cork & Fork was born out of our former Cooking School, Cooking with Class. What started as a weekly get together on Wednesday evenings inside our cooking school featured small plates and wines by the glass.

 A big move to a new location in 2023 saw the addition of twice the seating, a full bar, and private dining rooms.

Our seasonally rotating menu features creative small plates ranging from classic comfort to exotic fusion. Our chef uses the highest quality ingredients and shops locally, organically and sustainable whenever possible. Our Mix, Match, Share & Enjoy philosophy allows you to choose your own adventure and order many of our award winning small plates to share, or enjoy along with  our seasonally crafted entree plates.

We offer an eclectic list of affordable wines by the glass and bottles to share, with perfect pairing advice for each of our tasty dishes. Our wine list features important varietals and award winning winemakers from around the world, with an emphasis on food friendly wines. 

Try a new wine, our fabulous craft beers on draft, or one of our homemade cocktail infusions for an incredible accompaniment to your meal.  Our highly trained staff is here to make sure you have an unforgettable night when you are with us.
