Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Deptford

Thanksgiving dinner platter was very much enjoyed by those who ordered it. Those who had steak or seafood were also pleased with their dinners. Overall they could have been hotter but it was very busy. The birthday treats for both celebrating birthdays was a very nice surprise. Tamara was an excellent server.

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.

The food was outstanding. Everything was well-cooked, flavored and seasoned to perfection (from the grilled octopus to the fried calamari.) The variety of the menu is eye-popping. Also, their in-store bakery is to die for. Well worth the trip.

We were here years ago, so came back to try it again. It's better. Decor was updated and elegant. Service was very good. When we arrived for our Thursday night, 5:30 reservation, only one other table was seated. By the time we left at 7:30, every table was filled. Very good for a Thursday night. Only problem was parking. There is very limited parking in the back because other properties on the block are apartments and park there also. Food was delicious. We were a group of 4, each ordered something different, and everyone enjoyed their meal. Will definitely be back.

Too loud. Server and manager were great, frequently checked to see if we were ok.
