    While the food and service is great at Fork and Fire it would be helpful to have the music turned down a tiny bit. Otherwise we love coming there and it's our new 'go to' place!

    I visited Fork & Fire recently and while I was optimistic about what I would experience there, I actually was super happy! I’m not a red meat eater and my husband is, so I’m always a little apprehensive about ordering chicken in places that specialize in red meat. I was wowed. I ordered grilled chicken breast and it was beautifully done and sliced off the bone. Absolutely delicious. I will be a repeat customer!

    Loved that the sparkling kitchen was on full display. The patio looked lovely and the restaurant was spacious and tastefully decorated. Everyone in our group loved their food. The waitstaff was prompt and accurate. I was a little dismayed that the staff didn't have the table for our large group ready upon our arrival, as I had called in advance to confirm the day before and the day-of. It wasn't a matter of being too busy, but a matter of communication among the staff - easily addressed. Overall, a very good experience. We'll be back.

    It was horrible. Waited over an hour for our food. Large table sat down after us got their food first. We were thanked for our patience at least 5 or 6 times…maybe more. Just entirely unacceptable for a meal I would not consider to be inexpensive. We were comped a desert and one beer but this couldn’t possibly make up for my wasted time and money. It felt disrespectful. My guess is that something had to be remade but no one was forthright with that information. We won’t ever go back.
