With one menu, one team, and one seating per night around a shared table, we invite you to let us take care of the details while you step into a guided culinary adventure.

Doors open at 6 PM; dinner begins at 6:30 PM. Reservations required. $275 pp (excludes tax+gratuity)

    Multiple dates available
    At One by Spork, dining transcends the ordinary — it’s an intimate culinary journey meticulously crafted by a James Beard-nominated team. Seated around a 16-person chef’s counter, guests are guided through a refined tasting menu where every element — from house-made bread and butter to garden-grown ingredients — reflects a devotion to both tradition and innovation. The experience unfolds with carefully curated beverage pairings, whether you prefer a sophisticated blend of cocktails and wine or an equally artful non-alcoholic pairing. With a singular menu, one seating, and a shared table, guests are invited to surrender to an evening of thoughtful hospitality and immersive flavors. Doors open at 6:00 PM, with dinner commencing promptly at 6:30 PM. Reservations are required, and the experience is priced at $275 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity. Menu is subject to change based on availability and seasonality of ingredients. Due to our extensive use of alliums, nightshades, and butter, we cannot accommodate these allergies, nor can we accommodate vegetarians, vegans, or gluten-free diets at this time. We are able to accommodate certain allergies and dietary restrictions with the proper notice. Please contact the restaurant via phone or email 7 days in advance of your reservation to discuss any requested accommodations with our team.

    What a magnificent dining experience!!! Every detail was fabulous. Chef is super friendly and laid back, nothing like the pretentious TV celebrity chefs. He uses advanced molecular techniques and pairs them with time tested artisanal methods like koji aging, freeze drying, and fermentation to achieve wildly delicious dishes that are works of art to the eye and palate! Tonight’s experience was cozy, comfortable, and exquisite. The beverage pairings were also spectacular. I’m excited to see how they continue to innovate and shine as a beacon of fine boutique tasting menu dining!!! Well worth the wait and will be sure to return! Bravissimo!

    Expensive but you get what you pay for: 8 course chef tasting with cocktail or mock-tail pairings. Local ingredients, science, friendly people, delicious food. Loved Spork, this is better. 10/10

    We had a great time at the updated Spork concept. I thought the food was wonderful and the drinks that accompanied it were perfect. My only small tweak would be to compress the service to 2.5 hours. While worth it we were pushing nearly four hours by the end. We will definitely be back
