   Our server, Natalie, told us that we were entitled to a 10% discount because we were going to the Arden theater. Early dinner, but very good food and attentive service. We had been there a decade or so earlier, and we were glad to return.

   Very nice weekend brunch. Excellent classic French omelette. Very few chefs can actually make a proper one!.

   Five family members gathered for lunch on a Friday. We were seated at the table in the window, nice and bright on a chilly winter day. The food was excellent, as always. There is something for everyone ~ delicious turkey and bacon sandwich, beet salad, steak frites. Our waiter, Gunner, was pleasant, efficient, and spot on. Thanks for another fine meal, Fork. We always have a great meal with you.

   Delicious food, very good service. Unfortunately, we had to leave for a show, so we skipped dessert. We’ll have to go back.

   Fork is a fabulous restaurant. We went for a Weds evening pre-theater dinner. We are "regulars", but have not been for some time. Nevertheless we were recognized and greeted as if we had been there last week. Our server Natalie K was delightful, friendly, knowledgeable about the new menu and responsive to questions. We had the crudo kampachi and scallops which were wonderful, so fresh with delicious sauces. We shared the glazed carrots appetizer which was also delicious, particularly with the fresh cream cheese. The escargots with brioche was a triumph, worth the trip! Beautifully sauced and great texture combined with mushrooms. Two pasta dishes followed, rabbit bucatini and beef cheek paperdelle. both well sauced if a little salty for us. Basque cheesecake dessert was lovely and made a good ending to the meal. All the portions were appetiser size, so not overwhelming. James Beard Award well deserved! We'll be back - sooner next time!

   Food menu selection is boring. The food was also not tasty at all except the scallop. But the service is very nice. If you are looking for a yummy food place, this is not for you. Cocktail selection is so simple and not variety. What a disappointment bc the place is nice but the food is so bad.

   Great brunch dishes and excellent service for the three of us from our waiter Gunnart! It's been quite a while since our last visit, and this occasion to celebrate my granddaughter's birthday was splendid. We'll be back!

    Yes. It was restaurant week. It was the last night a Saturday night and they were busy. We waited over 35 minutes for our reservation. We were seated at the bar but not even acknowledged ( we were a party of 4 for my birthday) for nearly 10 minutes. 4 drinks cane to nearly $100 - a Negroni and whisky sour were $27 each. That is absurd. Our server Aidan was sweet but service was slow. The dessert was the thinnest slice of anything I have ever seen. A cool vibe there , nice servers, the hostess was sweet very apologetic about the wait, but could you have comped one drink or anything to make up for it? I would have thought so. Three of the party are and have been in the bartending/ food service industry and we wanted this to be a positive experience. The food was good overall. I am sure they were just glad to be done with restaurant week.
