Coa de Jima

Cork & Journey: 4 stars

Coa de Jima in downtown Boise delivers an upscale take on Mexican and Latin cuisine in a vibrant, art-filled setting.

The restaurant also stands out for its wine-friendly $15 corkage fee with no stated bottle limit. With a Cork & Journey rating of 4 out of 5, Coa de Jima is a strong option for diners looking for polished surroundings and a more elaborate approach to Mexican cooking.

Corkage of the Week · Lebanon, OH

The Golden Lamb

4.8 stars · 3855+ reviews

The Golden Lamb is Ohio’s oldest continuously operating inn and restaurant, dating to 1803, serving traditional American fare like roast turkey and pot roast in a historic building that once hosted twelve U.S. presidents. Its period furnishings and small inn upstairs make it as much a living history museum as a restaurant, drawing visitors for its heritage as much as its food.

Corkage: $35 per bottle, no limit
