My partner and I had a great experience at Fork. Although the noise level was a tad high, the service, ambiance and food were terrific. Our waitress, Monty, who very helpful with food and wine suggestions. I give Fork 5 stars and highly recommend it. Maron Fenico

Delicious dinner and great ambiance. When it’s crowded, it’ll get a little noisy but it’s a small price to pay to enjoy such amazing food. Thank you for opening such an awesome establishment.

Love the outdoor, heated patio room. When I'm in Philly for business, I commonly take clients there. Relaxed atmosphere and able to have conversations without yelling. Great whiskey selection too.

We were running late and the hostess was able to accommodate our new schedule. As soon as we arrived we were seated. We had theater tickets and our waitress made sure we got through dinner on time. Betty was amazing. We were able to get vegetables for the hummus for the gluten free people. The theater menu was perfect. Food was delicious and service was top notch. Highly recommend this location.
