    Had a birthday dinner for a family member and it included a table of 10 people. Accommodating a crowd that large on a holiday weekend would normally be a challenge for any restaurant. Amada was fantastic. From our gracious greeting to the semi private room we were escorted to, to the individual coat tree next to the table to accommodate 10 winter coats, an unusual and very welcome detail, to the stellar personal and professional service, outstanding food and pacing of courses, everyone had something to please their taste and the overall experience was wonderful. Truly a memorable birthday dinner! It was a well-oiled machine, and we enjoyed it immensely. Kudos to the Amada team for a lovely lively evening.

    I personally only had the bufflo chicken dumplings it was too much sauce on my plate. But they were delicious and I got full. But everyone in my party said their food was really good and would return! Also, the drinks were also really good. I tried different ones, and again no one complained or had an issue with their food/ or drinks. Only issue we had was there were Nats not a lot but more than enough when you're trying to eat and they keeping coming around you.

    Our Thanksgiving dinner at Fork was everything we hoped for, from inventive takes on traditional dishes (like cranberry sauce flavored with star anise) to the newly renovated (moody, sophisticated) dining room. Highlights included fresh oysters and perfectly dressed tuna crudo, and roasted butternut squash stuffed with tangy labneh. No detail is overlooked—even the parsley butter for the dinner rolls was memorable. Creative cocktails like the “Sibling Rivalry” and a surprisingly smooth barrel aged Wild Turkey (a nod to the presumed centerpiece of the holiday meal) set the vibe, and service found the sweet spot between unobtrusive and efficient. Can’t wait for the seven fishes on Christmas Eve.

    Excellent service, great food and atmosphere. Our server was super attentive and kind. We had a nut allergy in the group and he had been made aware through our reservation and double checked that items on the menu were safe. It was a wonderful surprise that the chocolate cake was safe - the frosting was delicious. We’ll definitely be back. Easy parking nearby in the lot on fourth st.
