    This is a hotel restaurant, very much a hotel vibe with guests walking through the dining area. We arrived for a Sunday lunch reservation, limited brunch menu was available. The food was not good and the pictures of this restaurant’s food do not come close to what was served to us. There is no ambience. This restaurant is fine for a standard hotel breakfast or if you’re a hotel guest and want convenience food. I would not recommend this restaurant unless you have to eat here has a hotel guest.

    Three ladies out for Sunday Brunch. We love the locally sourced foods. Everything was delicious and the live guitar music was very pleasant to hear. The food was reasonably priced. I had a Bloody Mary and a fried chicken sandwich with fries. Yum! Also, shout out to service. Great wait staff.

    Same review, different dinner. Food was excellent. service was good. We were the only people in the restaurant and it took forever. Actually,it worked for us… but just don’t understand it. So why do we keep coming? The food. It is very good. Crab Cake - amazing, and I am from Maryland…. Short ribs, outstanding, and corn crab soup flavorful. I am very picky, hubs is even pickier, and we drive over30 minutes to eat here. Short on ambiance, slow kitchen, ok service… Go for the food .

    We had a delicious meal at Fork Lore. It is a nice quiet restaurant which is hard to find these days. There is a bar area with a TV. Our crab cakes were good with lots of crab meat.

    Excellent food and service. Great cocktails. The brussels sprouts and hot pimento cheese dip were delicious starters. Entrees were braised beef, crabcakes and salmon. All outstanding. We will be back!

    The restaurant was not particularly busy. Service was still slow. A couple of errors on food requests. Food was decent. I booked for a birthday dinner and was underwhelmed.
