   This is the third time we have taken different family members to Spork and everyone is always amazed by the quality of the food and the service. This is one of the best resturants we have eaten in. If you love food, you will not be disappointed.

   The touted food was way too fussy. The central ingredient was lost in too many ill considered embellishments. It felt very ungenerous - a half a foie gras, for instance, for the price of a very full one. We felt rather taken advantage of.

   Excellent dinner at Spork. Staff was awesome and the food was high quality and absolutely delicious! The dining room was open but the noise level was very comfortable to my surprise. I have several friends and relatives I already want to bring back.

    Pittsburgh has a great restaurant seen and Spork would make my top five restaurants for true foodies. Everyone who works at this establishment does an amazing job and puts their customers first. I can’t wait to return to try some of the other great looking dishes we saw as they were being served to the patrons around us.

    Wonderful experience! Took my husband for a milestone birthday, and they made the occasion special! Starting with complimentary champagne at the bar to a cute candle in the dessert , there was a lot of attention to detail ! As always , the food was great and the extra little amuse bouche and palate cleaners between the meals add an extra special surprise ! The great service rounded off a wonderful evening.

    I can't afford to eat at Spork but every 6 months or so. I would go more often if I could. It is a unique dining experience for me in Pittsburgh. It requires 2 to 3 hours to eat dinner. It slows you down, makes you relax, makes you talk to whomever you are with unless you are one of those who only looks at your phone. If you are, so us alla favor and stay home. Our server spent the first 15 minutes with us asking about allergies and sensitivities. My wife and I have many. She then discussed this with the kitchen and reported back about what on the menu would be safe for us. About that time, a small knosh was served. soup with greens. We ordered our meal. Previously ordered cocktails arrived and we talked. In 15 minutes or so, the appetizer we ordered arrived. I hope they keep the crispy octopus. It is really wonderful. A multitude of tastes and textures. In awhile an equally tasty salad showed up. Another winner. After awhile our entrees arrived. Truly delicious. Along the way there was just the right amount of attention from the staff. Enough to let you know they were there for you but not so much as to interrupt ongoing conversations. In all we were there for just over 2 hours. What a wonderful way to slow down our day.

    Very lovely, very good. But salty. Expensive, but good value. Excellent service, and super fun to sit at the back bar watching the cooking happen. Super tender pork cheek and crispy spaetzel, all the amuse bouches were delicious— they do take care of you generously and we had a good time.

    Fantastic restaurant! The food was amazing. Great music. Cool small bites between courses. Good service. Expensive but totally worth it. Recommend the octopus and Bolognese, but I'm sure all dishes are fantastic, will definitely go back. Only criticism: I suspect the cocktails were watered down. Felt weak and after two cocktails wasnt even buzzed. Nonetheless were tasty and didn't detract from the experience.

    Incredible experience. It’s been on my husband's and mine list of restaurants to go to in the city. The attention to detail, flavor profile, and staff are one of the best in the city! Highly recommend sharing plates to experience more of the food! The drinks are crafted well and smooth. We will be back!

    Spork was an experience I wasn’t expecting. I had read the reviews & looked over sample menus, so I knew the general vibe, but what i didn’t expect was the level of detail within each course. I ordered my entree (black bass) and a glass of wine, and immediately the server began to bring us some of the most delicious food I’ve had in my life. First a butternut squash soup sample, then a cucumber amuse bouche, followed by a tiny taco, and each one had such a complex blend of flavors and was just a few bites of perfection. Before the entree is ready, they also provide a fermented tea palate cleanser, just a tiny drink that I was not expecting to enjoy as much as I did. The entree was one of the best I’ve had, and was a solid portion without being too much. Of course a meal like deserved dessert, and the sample trio (chocolate coffee eclair, Gouda cheesecake, and carrot cake) was the perfect amount of sweet and each was just a few bites. The carrot cake in particular was smooth and came with fresh ginger ice cream. They also provide some homemade chocolates at the end. This is a meal I will not forget.

    Spork is an amazing experience. It's not a cheap experience with small plates starting at $21 and entrees starting at $43. However, it's well worth the expense. The food is some of the best we've had in Pittsburgh and paired with impeccable service and a very good wine and cocktail selection. The volume can be a little loud at peak times but not excessively so.

    I never take the time to do this, but Spork was the best restaurant experience I've had in a long time. The food and service were top tier, but the amuse bouche and table side cocktail experience were unexpected and delightful. We brought my husband's grandparents for dinner and felt the while experience was special. The fried chicken (but really those Brussels sprouts!!!), eggplant and dessert sampler were delicious. I cannot wait to go again.
