  • One by Spork Chef's Tasting Table

    $275.00 per person

    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.

  • Summer Vegetarian Series (Mondays Only)

    $160.00 per person

    Multiple dates available
    We're excited to offer a new vegetarian experience that showcases the bounty of our onsite urban micro farm. Our Meatless Monday experience will follow the same format as regular One by Spork dinners—”no decisions dining” with a single tasting menu and one seating—but with a shorter duration to fit the vibe of a Monday night. Just as with the traditional OBS experience, each course will be complemented by a beverage pairing of wine & cocktails, or a spirit-free pairing that highlights the freshest seasonal ingredients. Doors open at 6:00 PM, with dinner commencing promptly at 6:20 PM. The evening will begin with two welcome bites in the lounge, followed by six savory courses and a dessert for $160 per person (inclusive of beverage pairings; exclusive of tax & gratuity). Reservations are required. *The vegetarian experience will only be offered on Monday evenings. The menu will be entirely free of meat and fish, but will utilize eggs and dairy. A vegan option is not available. 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 vegans, or gluten-free diets at this time. We are able to accommodate certain allergies and dietary restrictions with the proper notice.

    Unbelievable experience! My husband and I have done chef’s table experiences in the past, but One by Spork far surpassed those! Fantastic crew, atmosphere, food and drink pairings. We were in from Delaware, and we will happily return when we are back in town!

    An excellent evening on several different levels. From beginning of the evening when sitting in a relaxed manner to taste several appetizers to the end of the meal the service was impeccable. Of more importance, the quality and taste of each dish was delicious with a discourse presented for each course as to the ingredients and manner of preparation of each dish. Likewise, information was provided for each wine pairing as to both the wine and the rational for the pairing. I finally would note that several of the dishes included fishes and meats we normally in reading a menu would absolutely ignore, but this experience proved our distaste for certain foods to be totally wrong and pleasantly has expanded our palates. Just an excellent experience.

    What great evening. Beautiful place, great service and the dinner was one of if not the most beautifully presented and delicious vegetarian meals. Each course a work of art. The courses were diverse, but delicious. You knew it was vegetables, but the flavors were amazing. The N/A accompaniments were good, but the wine pairings were perfect. Definitely go that route. We’ll be back.

    Spectacular! This may have been the best meal & matching drinks we have ever eaten with spectacular service. Only 18 seats, so you must make a reservation and it is not cheap, but worth every penny you pay. What a fabulous experience. Thank you chef, bartenders, and staff as you were all outstanding.

    I was here with my daughter who lives out of town. Everything was outstanding and we have done many tasting menus all over the country. It’s our thing. The food was innovative without being pretentious, not to mention delicious. The alcoholic beverage pairings were truly unique and really thoughtful. They even offered non alcoholic pairings with the same care. Yes, some may consider this pricey, but believe me you could pay double or even triple in another city and not have as wonderful an experience!

    We had the pleasure of enjoying the appetizer, main, and dessert course tasting menu, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The team was absolutely amazing—so knowledgeable, welcoming, and open to all of our questions. Each course was beautifully crafted, and the food and beverage pairings were spot-on. Truly a memorable evening!

    We had an amazing time! There’s truly nowhere else in Pittsburgh that offers this kind of unique tasting experience. Every pairing complemented the dishes perfectly, each bite and sip was thoughtfully curated and absolutely delicious. I'm so glad they shared the menu with us afterward, it’s something we’ll definitely be talking about and sharing with friends. Totally lived up to the hype!

    Fabulous meal. Great idea to gather people in lounge to try small bites before the main meal started. Every course was delicious, interesting and well explained. The One Experience pairings worked very well with the food - good selection of wines and interesting cocktails. The joy of everyone working there and their pride in the food and drinks they were serving was obvious. Will return next time we are in Pittsburgh.
