    Found the restaurant on line and chose to make a reservation there based on the menu. We were not disappointed. Charcuterie starter was perfect. We all had different things for dinner - one salad, one entree, and one starters. Everything was absolutely delicious. Would recommend and will return.

    We waited 20 minutes after we were seated for anyone to come to our table and then another 15 minutes for coffee. No one checked on us after our food came and our drinks sat empty the entire time. The food was good though.

    As a hungry party of 3, we ordered the Tuna Tartare, the cauliflower small plate, the Salmon, the Chicken Burger with garlic aioli fries and the chicken entree. Everything was exquisite in taste, but the Salmon really stood out. Crusty on the outside and juicy on the inside without any pink. The only nit to pick might’ve been that the sauce on the chicken was just a level too tangy. The picky eating kid completely cleaned up his plate with the chicken burger too. The wine list was functional and affordable but didn’t disappoint in taste either. Nice cozy ambience too. It was a slightly busier than average Saturday evening due to the Old Town school of Folk music just down the street running some performances, but nothing overly crazy. We could’ve probably walked in and still gotten a table with a slight wait

    Great variety on menu - everything was delicious! Got the French cheese flight, bacon wrapped dates, and mushroom flatbread for appetizers and they were great to share with the table. French fries were delicious and really big quantity. Rigatoni Pasta and cheeseburger were crowd favorites.

    Everyone seemed content with their entrees but looked to me like small portions for the meat with huge portion of fries. Probably not unusual. I ordered the “pork loin” special which was so-so … seemed more like thick slices of ham. Drinks were fun and desserts were good. It was a busy and fun atmosphere - servers were working hard and doing their best.

    Took about 20 minutes to get our drinks - it was a busy night and server was busy but was flippant as opposed to apologetic regarding the wait times. At the end of the night went to the bar for a night cap and despite it being empty was ignored by the bartender until our server asked if she could get our drinks for us.

    Cheese and wine flights were very good. Something a little out of the ordinary that was interesting. We waited 20 minutes before we had to ask for a waitperson. The wine and cheese came out quickly. I ordered the chicken w gnocchi. It was almost inedible. Tough and an overwhelming citrus flavor. My wife had the ratatouille, which she enjoyed.

    Great food and great portions. I arrived a little bit late for my diner reservation but, they were still very accommodating even though it was less than an hour before they closed. Definitely recommend this place for a casual night out or even a nice dinner date. Will definitely be returning, because I’ve heard great things about their brunch menu as well!

    Really enjoyed the evening. Cocktails and wine by the glass were great, charcuterie/cheese board was very good, main courses were generally good although we had a slight problem with one that was quickly remedied. Wonderful menu with lots of variety and both sharable and individual main course options. Very reasonable prices. I look forward to returning.

    Wine flights are fun and delicious, and the food was outstanding (baked tomato & goat cheese app, salmon and risotto). Tables were close together for the two-tops so we could all hear each other’s conversations but if you have a group of > 2 you get a larger table with more space between. I would definitely come here again—I want to try a cheese flight next time!

    Came from out of town and searched for gluten free items. Not a massive array but delicious queso fundido, gluten free breads for an AMAZING breakfast sandwich and burger. Good fries, too. Yep, we will be back.

    First time for brunch at Fork! Seen pictures and reviews online and I live in the area so wanted to try! Food was good! Nothing spectacular but no specific complaints. I would have paid 2$ more per item for a little more wow. Service left something to be desired. Hostess was nice but server was a little less than friendly. Just short with us.
