The best. The Philadelphia landmark. No one has better cherrystone clams and oysters. One of the few places where you still can get good snapper soup. The fried oysters with chicken salad is a classic. They also have one of the best hamburgers and really good mixed drinks.

Awesome restaurant with great food. The tuna crudo was phenomenal. The pumpkin with cheese ravioli was to die for. The best part was the bread pudding with ice cream. Have had bread pudding all over the world. This was moist and delicious. Kudos to the chef. The service was also top-notch. This place is definitely good for a business meal as well as a nice date. Highly recommend.

My partner and I are new to Philly and we love exploring new restauants. Fork will definitely be one of our date night go-to’s for special occasions. A little pricey, but the food, drinks, and service are worth every dollar. Natalie was our server, and besides being so fun, she steered us towards some great recommendations and went the extra mile when she could!

We had a lovely lunch and the service was impeccable. The restaurant was bright and sunny on a very cold day and we especially enjoyed the eggplant parm. The Caesar and seafood salads were also very good. Soup of the day was huge and delicious. Wonderful place to enjoy a leisurely lunch.
