    Fork is one of the few restaurants that you should eat at if you’re in Old City. The rotating menu, curated cocktails and beer menu are second to none. It’s a home run wether you’re a local or visiting.

    I happen to see Fork highlighted on CBS Saturday Morning the Dish segment so I thought we would give it a try while in town This was one of our favorite dining experiences this year, and probably the best in Philly in a while. The staff was an amazing team. We were never left in need of attention yet they were not overly lurking. The food was perfect and I did not have issue with the portions sizes as I have seen in other reviews. Both my wife’s Tilefish and my Pork chop were just as described and beautifully presented. I understand some reviews take issue with the automatic 20% gratuity, but if the food served and the Fork team continue to perform as we experienced, 20% is a good deal Can’t wait to return.

    Nice experience, warm surroundings, and good food, but very surprised a 20% tip was added to the bill automatically for a party of two. We had no service issues, but a very presumptuous practice. May not return.

    Be prepared to spend a ton and leave hungry. The food is great but after sharing two apps, had my main to myself, and sharing dessert - I had to go order another meal somewhere else. My ($30+) main came with two scallops and half a dozen tiny squid rings. Which is just a comically small amount of food for an adult. I was truthfully rather disappointed to leave still very hungry after a $300+ bill for 3 people.

    My Mother did not like her omelette or her sausage. The omelette was dry and the sausage mixture she was not a fan of. For my part, the salt level on my fries and steak were high but I enjoyed my meal.

    I was a bit disappointed as I had wanted to go to Fork for some time. Our party of 6 went for brunch. 3 in our party ordered omelets and they were served on a small plate and it seemed more like scrambled egg wrapped around the other ingredients instead of being mixed together. I had the brisket sandwich which did not have a lot of meat and the mustard was so overpowering that I could barely tasted the brisket that was in the sandwich. Steak frites, hamburger, and fries were good but the food just wasn't very special. We had brunch in NYC a few weeks ago and each table received a basket of mini muffins and the food preparation was unique as well as delicious. I feel bad for giving such a bad rating but that was our experience. Good things: The waiter was very nice and the ambiance was perfect.

    There were four of us and each couple ordered the trout for two. It was incredibly good. Our friends are still talking about it a day later. The bread is always amazing and we had a delicious Sancerre. Server was gracious and knowledgeable. For me the coconut dessert made with rhubarb was a little sweet but I was impressed with its originality. My friend enjoyed his chocolate mousse and expresso. Ellen Yin stopped by our table which was nice for us. Always a treat to be part of the Fork scene. Thank you, Fork!

    A friend of mine described Fork as a neighborhood spot that upped its game every year, and that is a pretty good description. The service was friendly and attentive, and very knowledgeable, and helped us strategize a great meal. What I particularly liked was that no dish was routine - the food was consistently creative, well-prepared and delicious, although some dishes were better than others (like the tempura leeks!). Coupled with an interesting cocktail program, this place was a winner!

    Great place over seen by outstanding Ellen Yin who ensures consistent service, interesting food, try the leek tempura or tue tile fish with ramps, and a tempting wine list. A place that this is distinctive, not formulaic. In the old Michelin sense, a place worth a detour, or in our case a two mile walk.

    We recently visited Philadelphia for a weekend visit to museums and to enjoy some other offerings on a "getaway" birthday trip from the DC/Baltimore suburbs. We wanted a "memorable" meal for our main meal on Saturday evening and Fork did not disappoint in any aspect of the dining experience. Terrific food, well prepared and beautifully presented, knowledgeable waitstaff which was attentive but never intrusive, a beautiful "vibe" in the intimate space and a wide array of unpretentious but carefully curated wines on the winelist. We consider ourselves foodies and both remarked that the experience at Fork was the best we'd had in a long while. Congrats to all the staff. VERY well done and, importantly, no pots and pan banging parade for my partner's birthday-just a candle and two thin chocolate mints, brought without fanfare. She very much appreciated THAT.
