    The food was very good. The prime rib was heated to our liking! Some of the food was cool when we sat to eat it. Our waitress was freaking awesome!! I’d go back just for her! Overall, I’d go back!

    We got seated right away which was nice. They had water at the table right when we sat down so we didn't have to order drinks. I did end up ordering a beer which didn't come out until after the food came out. The burger I got was under cooked so I asked to send it back to get a new one. The second burger I got was also undercooked but I didn't say anything the second time. I just got the burger to go so I could cook it myself at home. My wife's burger was mostly done, but a quarter of it was also really pink. Its like they seared the burger so it looked done on the outside but the inside was cold.

    The atmosphere was wonderful. There was 10 of us and at no time did the sever refill drinks or ask if we wanted more cocktails. The food took a while to come out,but was worth the wait everyone food was great.

    For the food it is pricey even with our Senior discount. They were busy and the service was good.

    Unfortunately, this is the second time in as many months that I've been disappointed by the service and the food at Blue Fork. It began with the service, it took approx. 25 min for our first drink to arrive and a server to take our order. They appear to be staffed properly, but in the cluster of high tops we were seated in; each table experienced virtually the same level of slow service. We were there for an hour before our food was delivered. On both occasions those that I was dining with ordered grits, each time they were served cold. My dish was luke warm at best and on each occasion we had a conversation as to send it back or eat. And due to the painfully slow turn time between ordering and actually being served we chose to eat. We did notify the server and they offered to take it back....but at this point we are an hr plus into a dining experience that should have been wrapped up in an hour. Its disappointed because this is clearly a trend in my experience with Blue Fork, even more so when you realize that the menu is interesting and the flavors are solid....but you can't get the food timely or at a temp that really showcases the flavors displayed on the menu. Not sure that I'll be back...at least not for some time. Hopefully they address these things.

    Always great food and awesome staff at the Blue Fork. Just wish they would get the pasta making machine fixed and offer more pasta options. AND bring back the Pot Stickers!

    "Kaylyn was absolutely FANTASTIC! Her knowledge, positive attitude, and attention to detail made our experience amazing. Yealin was also wonderful—both ladies truly rocked it! Exceptional service all around. We’ll definitely be back.
