    Fork has been a go-to favorite for some years, but this last visit wasn’t really up to their normal standards. Food was good but not great. Service was prompt. Their menu hasn’t changed much over the last few years. Prices were fairly hefty. Might be awhile before we try again.

    We were seated promptly at a booth for four guests. Our waters arrived quickly and our server arrived shortly thereafter and was very kind and professional. We were there to celebrate a birthday and the 3 men in our group ordered the Prime Rib dinner. Each prime rib was cooked and seasoned to perfection but all three men had trouble cutting up their prime rib. My son was the first to mention it at the restaurant (I just thought it was a one off) and the two other guests didn’t say anything to me at all till we were home. My husband, unbeknownst to me, had stopped eating after only having half of his meal which was odd, for he couldn’t cut it without it falling off his plate. We have all ordered the Prime rib several times and we have not had any issues with it. I just find it very odd that all three men had major issues cutting their prime rib. All three men in my dining party (husband, son and birthday gentleman) love to eat and have never complained about anything before. Is there a new meat supplier? Way this just a bad cut of meat all three received? I truly couldn’t answer this.

    Fork is one of my fave Boise restaurants. As I am writing this I am eating their scrumptious truffle chips (they heat up perfectly in the air fryer!) The asparagus fries are classic as is the Hagerman trout.

    Dinner was okay, but there are much better restaurants nearby to spend your money. I ordered the BAM (bacon, avo and mozzarella) with fries, but was brought soup instead. The soup by far was the best dish on the table! The fries were quickly brought to us, probably the quickest thing all night. Back to the BAM; I think there were 3 pieces of bacon, but I couldn't tell from all the avocado smashed on the bread. It was edible but not tasty by any stretch. Another person ordered salad with chicken and received an enormous plate of lettuce, several pieces of chicken and 3 or 4 tomatoes. Again, edible but not amazing.

    Fork is one of my favorite restaurants, but we had an off visit on Labor Day. Not great service, they lost our credit card, but another server found it, and the food presentation was not up to what it normally is. Still though everything tasted great, and we will be back and give it another try.

    Food arrived before the drinks, but I think we just got missed. Beautiful interior. Very noisy though - sounded much louder than the amount of people that were in there. Sound really bounces off the walls. Food was great though and so were the cocktails. Would go back.

    Fork is not a bad restaurant but it’s not a great restaurant. I really wanted it to be great. It’s a nice space, great service, but the menu selection was a little strange. Drinks were good. I wasn’t very impressed with my meal though. Don’t bring a date here for fine dining. It’s very casual. Lots of T shirts. I won’t be back, there are too many restaurants in the nearby vicinity that really are great.
