    I agree with some of the reviews that fork is not what it used to be. The food was basically okay but I remarked to them that the menu was rather limited they are down to about five entrees and the appetizers were so so nothing really grabbed me. I didn't appreciate when the server came to me and said he was under orders that I had ordered my second drink and not yet looked at the menu. I asked if they wanted to throw me out he's oh no but I don't like that kind of regimentation.

    It wasn’t the Fork we’ve experienced in the past. However, they served very good oysters— but that’s sourcing. They do this thing that is unnecessary in a fine dining establishment— where they bunch people together as to keep them nearer as opposed to utilizing the full space. A nice place for lunch but maybe we’ll skip it for evening dining.

    I am expecting more from this restaurant. Food quality was under average. A lot of confusion with their textures and flavors. Pistachio citrus pie tart was fine- the only highlight for that was the crust.

    Amazing scones. Brussel sprout omelet was too strong tasting - needs some balsamic or something. It’s more an egg wrap then omelette. White fish sandwich was tasty and coffee is delicious.

    Beautiful restaurant with professional service and good vibe … but the food was not good. Duck was tough (it had the texture of poorly cooked brisket). Potato-leek soup had whole peppercorns in it that made eating it a challenge and overpowered it. Monk fish was way too salty. Coconut custard had a weird texture and was under sweetened. Maybe it was a bad night, but from top,to bottom the food was extremely disappointing.

    Fantastic, from the time we arrived until we left. Every aspect from food to service was excellent. The duck charcuterie is special/memorable. We always leave fork with feeling of not just a great meal but of a great experience. We go back bc as often as possible

    The vibe was very cool. The service was very attentive, the owner even stopped by the table! We shared several appetizers including spreads and pates which were different and very delicious with a homemade bread. We tried the trout, burger, seafood dish and duck and they were all fantastic. The chocolate mousse and cream puff desserts were light and fresh and unique, shared along with some after dinner drinks. We were also not rushed at all.

    The food was great, the service was quick however the staff seemed to be seriously concerned about whether or not we could afford the dinner and were impressively condescending. The waitress took our menus after we ordered appetizers, we had to ask for them back to order our entrees. I said I was interested in the steak and she cited the price per ounce and said that it might discourage me. Then when the bill arrived we were told 3 times that it included at 20% gratuity - all of these things individually are excusable but taken in concert it felt very rude. I got the sense that the usual customer is an octogenarian attempting to recapture some sense of vitality by spending money. We had a great time but we will not be going back until aarp starts asking us for money.

    Food and service both excellent. Fork is an under the radar lunch option filling a real void in Old City. Clearly, their menu for both lunch and dinner are outstanding options.

    We ordered the steak for two 2 and asked for it to be prepared medium. It was cold when it was first served. We sent it back. When it was re-served, it was still cold. We sent it back again. It was still lukewarm, at best, when it came back the third time. Very disappointed.

    First time at Fork, the restaurant was warm and inviting and the service was outstanding. Unfortunately the potato leek soup was extremely spicy - almost unpalatable - and the white fish sandwich was soggy. Quite disappointing but I suspect their dinner menu and quality is better.
