    Corked Wine Bar in Bethlehem Now Open

    by theelvee_w2oe3m October 28, 2013


    In case you hadn’t heard, Corked Wine Bar and Steak House is now open on Main Street in Bethlehem. 

    The restaurant is owned and operated by Joe Grisafi, also a partner in the Airport Road restaurant Roma Ristorante.  The menu features a mix of American, Italian, and steakhouse dishes.  Soups, salads, and apps range from $7 (soups) to $17 (smoked gouda lobster mac) and entrees run from $16 (pasta entrees) to $36 (lobster tail and filet dishes).  The higher end cuts range from $19 for a rosemary herb chicken breast to $60 for the restaurant’s massive 24oz tomahawk ribeye.  The wines from the restaurant come from all over the world and range from $30 (Pio Pinot Grigio) to $360 (by far the most expensive, for the California cult wine Opus One).  Most wines are also available in 1, 2.5, and 5 ounce pours.  The bar also features a variety of craft beer drafts and bottles, as well as a house cocktail list and modest liquor selection.
