    Restaurant interior with live jazz
    Dane R.

    I've visited Forke three times -- two dinners and one brunch -- so this review reflects some context rather than a single visit. The rating here is primarily based on the dinner experience during this visit, which ended up being the strongest overall experience I've had here so far. For context, their brunch is also worth mentioning. The Croque Madame is excellent and easily one of the better brunch dishes I've had locally. Brunch and dinner feel like somewhat different experiences here, though, so this review focuses on the dinner menu and service. The atmosphere that evening added to the experience. A live jazz band was performing in the dining room, creating a lively but relaxed energy without overwhelming conversation. The restaurant also includes a speakeasy-style bar area tucked into the space, which gives the layout a bit more character than a typical neighborhood bistro. What Forke does particularly well is maintain attentive hospitality while operating with a relatively small dining room team. In many restaurants at this scale, limited staffing leads to uneven pacing or slow service. Here, the staff managed the room smoothly while keeping courses moving at a comfortable pace. The escargot showed the kitchen's technical approach. The snails had the correct firm-tender texture. At first the seasoning seemed slightly light, but it became clear that the issue was less about seasoning and more about how escargot behaves in the shell. Much of the garlic butter remains inside the shell rather than coating the snail evenly once removed. When the remaining sauce was poured over the bread, the flavor was actually quite pronounced. One escargot proved difficult to remove from the shell, and the staff immediately took the plate back to crack the shell and return it properly. Small moments like that often reveal whether service is merely functional or genuinely attentive. The duck confit reinforced the sense that the kitchen understands the fundamentals of the dish. The skin had the crispness expected from a properly finished confit, and the meat showed the range of textures typical of the preparation -- some sections deeply tender, others slightly firmer but still rich from the slow cooking process. The sauce leaned slightly sweet, which initially felt light relative to the potatoes, but when eaten together with the green beans and shallots the dish balanced out well. Dessert was a lemon tart topped with fruit and meringue. Once the fruit was eaten separately, the structure of the dessert became clearer. The filling was silky and dense, somewhere between a curd and a custard, with acidity that remained bright without being overly sharp. The meringue softened the tartness without muting it. Service ultimately distinguished the evening. Despite a small team, water was refilled without prompting, pacing between courses was handled well, and the server checked in at appropriate moments without interrupting the meal. The owner was also present greeting guests and checking on tables, creating a sense that the restaurant is actively engaged with the dining room. The staff were also accommodating about seating. When asked where I would prefer to sit, I mentioned that I was dining with my service dog and would appreciate a cooler spot with better airflow. The owner helped arrange a table in an area with a stronger draft, which made the space noticeably more comfortable. In comparison with other local French bistros I've visited, the service here felt particularly proactive. Many restaurants are efficient and polite, but fewer actively monitor the table and step in quickly when small issues arise. There were minor imperfections. The bread service at the beginning could be improved -- the bread became dry fairly quickly and the butter was too cold to spread easily. In a French-style restaurant, bread often signals early execution, so it stood out. Taken together, the meal demonstrated a kitchen that understands its fundamentals and a dining room that pays close attention to its guests. While there were small technical imperfections, the combination of thoughtful cooking, generous portions, attentive service, and an engaging atmosphere created a well-rounded dining experience. Based on this dinner visit, Forke earns five stars.

    Great food and service. The restaurant is a hidden gem and we loved the interior. Checked out the speakeasy with a drink in hand, great area to unwind before or after dinner. My fave cocktail was forke me long time (vodka based) They change their menu depends on the season and ingredients available. The caprese tastes so fresh. The seared salmon has that crispy skin that you want more of. The duck steak is a must try. The best we ever had. The lemon tart is a perfect ending to a great meal Kudos to Jerome and Chef Miguel. Congratulations on your new restaurant

    Forke has been doing a lot of advertising on Facebook, and I decided to give this new place a try. I went last night for a 5:15 reservation but got there just after 5. I was shown to an area nearer the bar toward the back and was able to choose any table I wanted. I chose the one in the cortner. Soon a server came by, introduced himself, asked my name, and then filled my water glass and asked about anything else to drink. I then was given a menu. It was then that I knew I had a problem. The area I was in is very dark, so dark in fact that I could discern no printing on the pages of the menu. I was the old man who had to use the camera flashlight to be able to read the menu. I first saw the Gourmand menu, a prix fixe menu with some choices for each course. I glanced at the à la carte section but I didn't spend much time trying to read it while holding my phone. Instead, I decided to have the prix fixe Gourmand dinner. For the first course, I chose the escargots. The menu said they were in the shell, but in fact, they were not. They were in a standard escargots dish which was fine with me.l They were large, tasty gems and the garlic, parsley butter enhanced my enjoyment of them. For the main course, I chose Beef Bourguignon. My server poured the sauce over the ingredients of the bowl. He left a small pitcher with some suace if i wanted more. The broth was rich and very flavorful! Now, if I could have seen the dish, it would have enhanced my enjoyment of the Bourguignon as seeing your food is a part of enjoying your food. But, alas, I could not see except that there was a bowl on the table. For dessert, I got the raspberry doughnut cheesecake. Despite its name, it was a good cheesecake but had no obvious link to doughnuts. Perhaps the crust was made from crushed dougnnuts. There were two swirls of syrup on the plate and a sliced strawberry (no raspberries as one would expect.) In sum, the dinner was very good. The restaurant is somewhat in two sections. The entrance where the host stand is and a rear section where the bar is. The rear is UNCOMFORTABLY dark. I would recommend getting a table in the front section where there's a ball chandelier. When the bill came, on with the flashlight again., After a short wait with my credit card in the bill tray, my server brought a table paying machine. It listed the total and had 3 tip amounts plus a custom one on the lighted (at last) screen. I chose the tip and tapped the reader. Nothing happened. Eventually, I figured out that you have to insert your card in a slot on the front of the unit. The charge went through and it printed a long receipt. It was only when I got home that I realized that the sheet expelled from the machine was a receipt for me and one for the restaurant with a place for my signature all in one long strip of thin paper. (If you want your receipt and my signature, I still have the sheet!) If Yelp and a half star system, I would give this 3.5 stars. I have made it four. Service was excellent and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. And, the food reminded me of the Beef Bourguignon I had at Le Train Bleu in Paris. But, something needs to be done with the lighting. It is unacceptable the weay it is. My apologies for my photos. Al were taken with the flash. If not, you would see nothing. When I got home I was able to view my entrée.

    Seabass was top notch
    Shivesh K.

    I've always appreciated when new restaurants breathe life into older neighborhoods, and Forke is a great example of that quiet revitalization. We brought an out‑of‑state couple here for an off‑Strip dining experience, and while we weren't exactly surprised, we certainly weren't disappointed either. The food was on point across all four courses, and the service felt sincere and genuinely warm, even if the team is still ironing out a few wrinkles. The only real hiccup was a slightly slow kitchen during the evening rush, but that's the kind of growing pain I fully expect them to smooth out as the restaurant finds its rhythm. The space itself is fascinating. It feels like a former wedding venue or event hall that's been thoughtfully transformed into a stylish, modern dining room. There's a discreet bar tucked away in the back, and rumor has it there's also a speakeasy hidden somewhere--possibly behind the prominent bookshelf I noticed along the wall. It adds a sense of playful mystery to the whole experience. Five stars for the effort and for delivering unfussy, focused dining without pretense. Entrées were priced surprisingly reasonably for this day and age, and the quality of the ingredients really shone through. Highly recommended--even for tourists staying on the Strip. It's not far, it's far more affordable than the mega‑resort options, and it offers a refreshing change of pace from the usual Vegas dining circuit.

    Peppercorns

    Dear FORKE Team, As longtime Las Vegas locals and enthusiastic supporters of new restaurants, we were genuinely excited to dine with you on a recent Saturday evening. The abundance of five-star reviews made us even more eager to experience what everyone was raving about. Because you've only been open three weeks, we want to share this feedback constructively in the hope that it helps you refine operations and ultimately succeed in a very competitive dining city. Unfortunately, our experience did not reflect the level suggested by those reviews. We were seated directly by the front door, which did not fully close, making the table uncomfortably cold. When we politely asked to move to one of the visibly open tables, we were told no. It then took approximately 20 minutes for anyone to greet us and take our drink order. A small basket of sliced bread was delivered, but no bread plates were provided, so we awkwardly ate over the table itself. Small details like this matter, especially at a steakhouse price point. Our drinks arrived about 20 minutes later -- nearly 40 minutes after being seated. The lychee martini was flavorful but noticeably underfilled. The mule lacked the expected ginger beer bite and tasted flat. Throughout the evening, water refills and follow-up check-ins were slow. To be clear, our server was polite and consistently apologetic -- not just to us, but to multiple tables. We observed him apologizing repeatedly throughout the dining room. When we asked whether you were understaffed, he shared that you were fully staffed, which made the service delays more concerning. The crab cake appetizer was deeply disappointing. It appeared heavily breaded and deep-fried in oil, and we genuinely struggled to find any crab inside (photos attached). We appreciated that it was removed from the bill. For entrées, the foie gras burger was described as "decent." The steak au poivre was cooked to the correct medium rare temperature, which we appreciated. However, it was covered with an overwhelming amount of whole peppercorns -- enough to dominate the dish and make it difficult to finish. Perhaps most concerning was that both tables seated beside us were also dissatisfied -- one guest disputing a non-itemized bill and another table complaining about food quality and wait times. Hearing similar feedback around us made us question how our experience aligned with the overwhelmingly positive reviews we had read. We fully understand that new restaurants have growing pains. However, in Las Vegas, consistency, pacing, and execution are everything -- especially at this price point. We truly hope you take this experience into consideration so that you can refine operations and build a reputation that reflects the promise suggested by those early five-star reviews. We want new local restaurants to succeed. We hope you tighten service flow, bar execution, and kitchen balance so that future guests experience what we were hoping for.

    Perfect new location for date night. Customer service and food was 10 out of 10. Had the chance to meet the owner and his son, who was working that night. Lots of young professional staff members were very kind and great at what they do. Our waiter was great too. The hostess showed us the speakeasy upon entering, who doesn't love a secret speakeasy? The food was great from start to finish. The Caesar salad, oysters, sea bass, lobster tail, and mashed potatoes were all 10/10. Definitely try this new local restaurant, you won't be disappointed. The drinks were delicious too.

    Tried Forke on Mother's Day and what a beautiful brunch! They had live music in their outdoor seating area and the food was amazing! I wish I could remember our waiters name but he was amazing! The owner made sure to say hi and ask how things were. I will definitely be going back!

    A delightful surprise at this French American restaurant. The food was perfect, service was attentive and the ambience was elegant. I look forward to brunch next Sunday. I forgot some pictures.

    Apple tarte

    Google maps will route you to the back of the complex but if you go to the front closest to Sahara that is where the restaurant is located. This place was amazing. Our service was spot on. One of the best we have experienced. Sever was Jared and Andy was our busser. For drinks my husband had a double Jameson but they have a selection of Macallan. For drinks I had the Parisian Jewel, Death in the Afternoon and Forke Me Long Time, the Forke Me Long Time was my favorite. For appetizers we had the beef carpaccio and the foie gras. Both were amazing. The beef carpaccio was served with a salad to cut through the beef. For our mains we had the hanger steak, filet and mash potatoes and mushrooms. The sides did not disappointment and were better than other steakhouses we have had in the valley. Dessert we had the apple tart and chocolate Lava cake. Both were delicious. They also have to two optional prefix menus for $75 or $125, respectively. They have a speakeasy behind a bookcase that you can sit and relax in. The vibe of the entire restaurant was relaxed and clean.

    Chocolate torte
    Eliana F.

    These guys are brand new! Trying to get a following serving "French-American" cuisine aka, French dishes with American size portions. We started off with a quick tour of the speakeasy, which I think could be a fun place for a Happy Hour when they're in full flow. We tried some "truffle fries": potato "chips" with truffle oil, delicious. For the meal, we tried a selection of traditional French favorites: Caesar salad and beef tartare for a starter, then steak au poivre, steak frites, surf and turf, and duck "steak". All tasted great and presented beautifully! For dessert we tried the classic crème brûlée, a cheesecake and our friend got a free chocolate torte for her birthday. They also gifted us free blue cocktails, which was well appreciated! I have a few comments however, which I hope they will find constructive : a sharper steak knife would be helpful for those who ordered the meat. Also I noticed a few romaine leaves in my Caesar salad were wilting a bit. I've recently had a problem at a different restaurant in Vegas where they served Caesar salad with a dressing that didn't contain anchovies, so glad to say that this one absolutely did! You really need anchovies to carry some umami into the dressing, glad to take note of that. We can safely say that we will be back, especially with "coming soon" dishes such as boeuf Bourgignon and Tarte Tatin Good luck to Forke!

    An unforgettable culinary journey awaits. Mastering just five ingredients, the chef creates explosive flavors in every dish. My experience was nothing short of perfection--from the bright, buttery oysters to the expertly cooked steak, complemented by handcrafted cocktails. A special moment was when the owner graciously shared his mother's recipe for crème brûlée, a dessert that was light, delicate, and decadently rich all at once. The service was impeccable, reminiscent of a meal lovingly crafted by your great-grandmother. My only regret is not discovering this gem sooner. Thank you for sharing today with us. You and your team are culinary perfection. Thank you, Stephanisia

    Donut cheesecake
    Flip L.

    Restaurant just opened 5 minutes from the strip. Decor was great, plenty of parking and the food was delicious. We ordered every appetizer and thoroughly enjoyed every dish. The mozzarella tomato and truffle fries were two of my favorites. All their meat dishes were spot on, the duck had a lot of flavor, the foie gras burger was probably my favorite as it was so juicy and creamy. Capped it off with creme brûlée and donut cheesecake which was perfect way to finish a delicious meal. Will definitely be back.

    Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 I love themed bars like this jungle one. Definitely one of my favorite themed cocktail bars in Downtown! Walked in at around 8:30/9pm and it was pretty dead. My friend and I were able to secure a booth, which felt intimate. It was ample space for 2 people but I can imagine if you had 4 people you'd feel squished. My friend ordered the Naked & Afraid and I ordered the Tropical Howler with vodka. Both of our cocktails were amazing and we'd order them again. If you like sweet cocktails, Tropical Howler is definitely for you. We both ordered a shot of the Mind Eraser, which had coffee liqueur I believe, I am not sure but you could taste the coffee and it was pretty good. Our bartender gave it to us with straws so you could probably sip it like a cocktail or take it like a shot. We liked the vibes in here due to its dark and intimate feel. We probably would have gotten a different vibe if we didn't have our own booth. I would come here again!

I went with the For a Good Time, Call 1-888-87-PROWL. The phone number is a legit call line and they encourage calling it, so that's just what I did. The drink itself was good, but a little sweet for my liking. 4/5 Service The bar was pretty empty when we arrived, but did fill up. Service was good throughout and everyone was kind. 5/5 Ambiance Prowl fully embraces the jungle vibe. The decor and drinks all tie into it and it works well. 5/5 Prowl is a fun bar in the area. The prices are reasonable and the vibes fun. Check it out.

Beautiful lighting with bewitching decor including a mishmash of vintage wooden furniture and other enchanting touches. An absolute perfect choice for our Coven, I mean bookclub to meet up. We arrived as they opened and found seating in the corner where we could all gather to discuss our monthly read. We were provided menus and the drink choices are many. Everyone ended up ordering something different which made for great pictures. I decided to try the Midnight Chaji and it was very satisfying. It had matcha in it so you know I was loving it. Other drinks tried were The Alpine, Devils Dance and a couple of mocktails. A very fitting location in the Arts District right on Main Street. The space is large with a long and inviting bar, tables for two to six, soft velvet couches, chaise lounges and chairs up front. Plenty of room for mischievous behavior. Service was fantastic and helpful. We were checked on and drinks were refilled timely. Parking is metered on the street or there are parking lots with paid parking. Monthly events including a monthly tarot bingo night, and various classes. Happy hour is Sun - Thursday 4-7pm. And I leave you with this classic lyric - "Ooh witchy woman, see how high she flies. Ooh witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes." - Eagles

    The Laundry Room is a cool, intimate speakeasy located within downtown LV. Only 16 people are…read moreallowed in at one time, you need a reservation, and there's a dress code. We were seated at the bar and had a nice time interacting with the cocktail craftsman/man in charge, Davey. The menu is his creative brainchild and changes a few times a year, with the current one based on the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. There's a 90 minute limit and 2 drink minimum per guest. Because of the craft and attention to detail that goes into each cocktail, we finished our 2 drinks just about right at the 90 minute mark. I really enjoyed both of my cocktails but the one that stood out to me the most was Strange Medicine. It was reminiscent of a martini but with Brie-washed Old Bison vodka, Cocchi Americano, and herb oil. It was so good that I wasn't sure what drink to choose next, but Davey was helpful with a great recommendation for another cocktail served with a chunk of parmesan cheese on top. Keep in mind that you're paying for the experience and the level of craft. So with a 2 drink minimum it won't be a cheap experience but it's definitely something worth checking out for the unique, creative cocktails.

The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

In…read morethe past, I've popped in on a whim whenever I was in the mood for something fun and different. As someone who loves all things quirky and unusual, The Golden Tiki has always been right up my alley. When a friend came into town and wanted to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday, I thought it would be the perfect place to kick off our evening. I was able to make an online reservation just a couple of days in advance, which was quick and painless. What I didn't realize was that they offer a weekday happy hour and live music! We were seated in "Bull***t Corner," which turned out to be the perfect spot. We had a great view of both the bar and the entertainment, making for a lively and entertaining atmosphere. Also, can't forget to mention the service. The hosts were fun but our actual server was absolutely hysterical and fit right in with the fun. She kept us laughing throughout our visit, while also being incredibly attentive. Despite the busy atmosphere, she made sure our drinks were flowing, checked on us regularly, and made sure everything was taken care of. It's not often you find someone who can be both entertaining and genuinely great at their job, but she pulled it off effortlessly. Our guests were genuinely impressed, and everyone had a fantastic time. The drinks were excellent as always--I honestly don't think I've ever had a bad cocktail here. I haven't had the chance to try their food yet, and we decided to stick with a few drinks since we already had dinner reservations elsewhere, but after this visit, I definitely plan on coming back on a weeknight to order from the food menu. If you're looking for a fun, unique Vegas experience with great drinks, and plenty of personality, The Golden Tiki is always a solid choice.

We were sat at a super cute table (there were 4 of us) and looked through the menu. The decor was super cute! Sort of old vintage looking couches around some tables, dim lighting, I loved the vibe. We each ordered something different from their cocktail menu from our very nice server. While waiting for those, our friend went to close out the tab and ordered shots, but asked for something that would be good. They proceeded to give us something with muddled strawberries, I was blown away at how good it was! Best shot I have ever had, so fresh. I love when you give bartenders freedom to play and create something so good! Our cocktails were so interesting and very tasty. I'd love to come back when we have some more time and try some of the other drinks. Everything about this place was amazing to me! Vibe, staff, the drinks, I had a great time!

The indoor space is sexy and dark, beautifully designed with lots of velvet and rich textures all around. In a cool contrast, the back patio is a bright, vibrant mix of pink, turquoise, and white. While you're out there, be sure to snap a picture in their photo booth! The staff here is simply INCREDIBLE! They are always so welcoming and do a fantastic job of helping walk you through the menu. Because the cocktail menu changes frequently with unique, rotating themes, you get a completely fresh experience every single time you visit. On my last trip, the theme was music through different eras of time, which was easily one of my favorites yet. They also have standard house cocktails, be sure to check out the punch of the day! Before you leave, don't forget to check out their cool merch and swag, which is beautifully framed up on the wall right behind the bar. No matter where you are staying in Vegas, make sure to put Velveteen Rabbit at the very top of your destination list!

Sure, it is known; however, it was surprisingly not that busy for a Friday. We were seated at a shell like booth and this space between the back side of the Players Club and the Cash cage, is a lovely and elegant place. Is it expensive? yes. Most other fine establishments are also expensive in Vegas. It is what it has become. Is that good? Probably not; however, it does give you the opportunity to experience something unique and special. Although we had one server, the servers worked very well together throughout our 90 minutes here and really team assisted with each other. Between the two of us, we had three drinks. You can page through the very detailed menu, and I decided to have the Passion's Serenade drink, which was a glass partially frozen with a coconut and passionfruit puree and then also had some chocolate rum, vanilla and fresno chili. It was a delicious drink, and actually was a great "sit back and wait" drink, because it took a while for the frozen portion to melt. The experience comes with some complimentary bar snacks and then some complimentary mini jello shots on the way out. The check is presented in an exquisite "Vault" Type of book. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would return again in the future. Expect drink prices to range from about $30 to $70, with some even higher for the "market price" drinks.
