We were celebrating my husband's 60th Birthday. I requested a round table if available and preferably in a quiet area. We were seated at a small round table in the front of the restaurant...it was perfect! Matt was our waiter, he was such a pleasure very professional and added to our night. 10 out 10!! I highly recommend Fork. We all loved the food, but the Small plate/appetizers were outstanding. Thank you!

Fork was overbooked. Had to wait at the bar for a good 20 minutes. Severs and host were apologetic, but they shouldn't have had to be. They comped a first course. Food was great. When the restaurant is full it is quite noisy. Not our preference to dine in such din.

Fork is wonderful each time we go there, whether for a special occasion or for just a nice evening out. All the food is great, but I highly recommend the whole trout and the rib eye to share, among other things. The staff are professional and yet very friendly. Just a consistently great place.

Omg! This place is amazing! The chef is bringing together some amazing flavours in his amazing g dishes. For example the heirloom tomatoes are serviced with an olive and anchovies dressing, the savory saltiness of that brings out the tomato flavours in a uniquely wonderful way. He does it again with the lemon curd that employs a sour, a tart, and a sweet but also dill to add layer not imaged before in a dessert. The cooking of dishes is great and the ambience is perfect.

The food was delicious! I ate the clam and squid with jumbo prawns. The prawns melted in my mouth like butter. For dessert, I ate the lemon curd. The combination of fruit and curd was a sweet delight. Warning: if you plan to eat outside, note that the tables are right on the street. Cars were honking, a bus stop was nearby, and an unhoused gentleman was loitering at my table asking for handouts. The combination made it very difficult to hold an intimate conversation. I won’t penalize the restaurant for this outdoor experience, but I wanted to spread a word of caution for future restaurant goers.

The place is crazy expensive for the food. The hostess at the entrance was curt to the point of being almost rude, service was ok but we ordered three glasses of wine, and glasses were very poorly filled. We knew that we were going to a fancy place, but if you order a glass of wine you expect to have one. For the food, it was fine but not so great for it to be so expensive. I really do not recommend this place.

Food was excellent. Had a pork chop with zucchini side that was tender and very tasteful. My guest had a dry-aged butrger with cheese from Switzerland that she continued to say was the best burger she had ever eaten. Fries as a side were not her choice as they were heavy with a burger. Would recommend a vegetable side alternative. The beet salad and spread appetizers were outstanding as well. It was restaurant week and very busy taking a little over 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. Waiter was very helpful, effective and efficient. His personality was enjoyable.

Very small portions, salt levels where very high in the fig salad, tile fish was small and bland. The toasted coconut dessert delicious. This resturant is listed as prime for restaurant week, meaning it’s $60 per person. In my opinion, the cost was not worth it.

We went there for lunch. We ordered two starters and one main to share. One starter with cheese and the other one with a paté. Both had a lot of information but putting them together, it was not making sense as a dish. The bread was over-baked, which made the taste bad. The steak was chewy and the chimichurri was a very cheap one, they didn't put any effort into it and my French fries were overcooked too. Overall, very bad lunch experience. Not going back there. Definitely, doesn't worth the money.

Came yesterday night for restaurant week and my husband birthday. Our server was great and the staff was welcoming. We had the chilled corn soup, fig salad, and ribeye for two which was phenomenal. For dessert I had the panna cotta while my husband got the chocolate mousse. The food was great other than my husband biting into a piece of plastic in his chocolate mousse. Not the best impression for our first time here and the birthday boy who could have potentially cut himself but we were comped for our wine pairing because of the that incident. It could have been a busy night due to restaurant week so we understood that it was a mistakes happen. Other than that, we would definitely come again and recommend this spot.

We had an upgraded Restaurant week set of choices with the ribeye for two. All three course were exceptional and the service was impeccable. The roasted beet salad had a sauce that was like [maybe was] tahini on it that made it unique, the other salad was also excellent and the ribeye perfect.

Most restaurants we go to for a meal and drinks. Fork we go to, in order to have an experience. And the last two times we went, it didn’t disappoint. Each food item is filled with unexpected, and difficult to decipher flavors that are delightful. The pleasure we experience is awesome. Since the flavors are so unexpected and delicious, we find ourselves truly enjoying each moment, and literally becoming more present. What a treat. We have also had exceptional service. All the wait staff have been extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and kind. If we could afford to, we’d come on a regular basis. For now, it’s one of happy places which we visit maybe twice a year.
