    Food was average. The meal was extremely expensive for no more than what we ordered. No substitutes for sides when ordering a steak. Our server made fun of my wife wanting her steak cooked well done. There was a plant that hung over our table that was very annoying!! Won’t be coming back for sure!!!

    Another wonderful meal at Blue Fork. I had the flight of soups and my husband had rhe deconstructed chicken pot pie. Neither one disappointed. Moriah was her usual fantastic server!

    We love going to Blue Fork for lunch. The food is excellent, the service is fast and friendly. The price is only a few dollars more than the typical lunch at a fast food place but it is fresh and you can't compare the quality. Highly recommend trying it for lunch and dinner.

    This was our first visit to the Blue Fork. We were pleasantly surprised. The young lady who waited on us acknowledged us and let us know she would be back soon to take our order. She was awesome! And when things calmed down, she thanked us for our patience because obviously she was busy. We weren't in a hurry and it was beyond our expectations that the waitress would thank US. But letting us know went a long way to our accepting that we might not be served immediately. She cleaned the table off while we were visiting and let us just "be". We had a very good experience at this restaurant and would go back if the opportunity arose.

    And incredible place to eat. It is always a surprise to discover a new place, especially when on vacation. The food was incredible, the service was great and we couldn't have asked for a better meal. The Curry chicken was just the right amount of heat, the Schnitzel and Spaetzel was also quite good, but maybe a tad (and I mean a tad) over cooked. But overall one of the best meals I have had in awhile.

    The hostess was rude, the manager was rude and the food was mediocre. There were only four tables occupied including us. So you would think their customer service and food would be amazing since they didn’t have many guests. Moses was the nicest thing about our evening. We have dined at Odyssey many times and always top notch. So we thought we would try Blue Fork. We will go back to Odyssey next time.

    Came for brunch. Some of the selections when we went through were tepid to cool: scrambled eggs, hash browns, waffles. Sausage gravy was little warmer, but not much. Everything tasted good, but could have been much warmer.

    I haven't been to this restaurant to order off the menu, so I imagine it's different/better. We did the breakfast buffet for Father's Day. It wasn't anything to write home about. It reminded me of a hotel breakfast. Not worth $21 for sure.

    Very expensive for the food options/buffet that was offered. Understanding it was a busy special occasion, the reservations we made were prompt and accurate. That much we appreciated. However, the food was just not very appetizing.

    We were actually disappointed with the brunch because their menu items are very good. Reasons for our brunch disappointment: very limited cold bar, hard green beans, tasteless prime rib and empty containers. I would not recommend the brunch. ,
