    We love Shelby and Steve (The owners) and their vision for Fourk! We frequent their establishment regularly, and will continue.

    My wife and I frequent Fourk Often. We have our special event dinners here because we love Shelby and Steve. Other notables are Navi, Wen, and Ericka. They all keep us coming back along with their monthly curated four course dinners which are always a culinary delight!

    The September menu offered some good flavors, and we appreciated the concept. The planned four-course meal included Stacked Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini & Leek Soup, Beef Tenderloin with Fingerling Potatoes, and finished with Chocolate Lava Cake. Presentation could be elevated just a tad. We also added the Salmon Crostini to start. Service was attentive, though it was clear the servers (not the chef) are new to the team and finding their rhythm--but they handled things nicely. Overall, it was pleasant with a cozy indoor ambiance. Probably not a spot we'd choose as a go-to for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, but still a nice experience. Worth a try in the area.

    Fourk Folsom is hands down one of our favorite dining experiences. We've been about 10 times now, and it never disappoints. Every month their incredible chef creates a brand-new four-course menu, and it's always creative, delicious, and beautifully presented. It's become our little tradition to go at least once a month just to see what's new. On top of the amazing food, the new owners are so warm and welcoming. They make the whole evening feel comfortable and special--like you're dining with friends who just happen to run a top-notch restaurant. If you're looking for something truly unique in Folsom that combines upscale dining with a friendly, inviting atmosphere, Fourk is it. Highly recommend!

    Have to share a great experience I had the other night at Fourk Kitchen in Folsom. I'd been to Fourk several times over a few years under the previous ownership and while it was usually OK, it never rose the level of what I had experienced at the Lincoln location. My last visit was about a year ago and very disappointing, both on the food and service side. I reached out to the owner who advised they were undergoing several changes and I should check back. Cut to Monday, I was there for the Justin Wine dinner and am very happy to report it was a completely different experience. Shelbie (the new owner) and Leslie (bartender/server) were great hosts and the food was imaginative and excellent. I'd strongly recommend giving them a try (or another try) and sure you'll agree.

    My friend was waiting excitedly to eat here, she made us reservations which you must put a credit card on file to hold your reservation at $65 a person. She was looking forward to eating their October menu. We had decided in advance what we both would order and try each others to see whose would be better! The night of our reservation we arrived 15 minutes early, per the reservation requests. We entered first and had a choice of bar or table seating (only table left available was right by door) my friend never saw a place in reservation to pick style of seating. It is a smaller place, nice Fork art (pictures) with funny and clever names. It's dark and has moody lighting. They had it decorated for Halloween with spooky music during happy hour. The first hour of your seating is happy hour with 24% off certain drinks and a few happy hour appetizers. They offer you a splash of wine sample. I was hooked and had a glass! It was definitely a highlight! I also ordered a Tito's martini dirty with olives. My glass was frosty and it tasted so good! The owner, a friendly lady and her four staff come out and introduce themselves, the restaurant's background, other location, they're only open four days a week, menu, and upcoming monthly and some other info. Then the show (food) starts. My friend and I, as well as others started wondering what menu they described wasn't what we saw online when booked, nor was the menu they presented us. Apparently we were there for the Halloween menu. I wish we would've realized sooner and rebooked as we heard other patrons ask about the menu switch with only one option for everyone. We dined in on a Wednesday before Halloween. The staff was dressed up cute in costumes and they have good music playing in restaurant. First an amuse-bouche, squash with parsley in a cute shot glass. Then deconstructed mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and basil with balsamic. The next course homemade long pasta noodles in a cream mushroom? Sauce with untoasted pumpkin seeds on it. It had absolutely no flavor! No salt, no pepper (both to add on your own on bar) but did it get cooked with any? No spice or heat....flat, bland no flavor. I did eat out of cost and alcohol. My friend did not finish. Main course came out, short rib ? An egg size of masked potatoes with peppercorn eyes (mini ghost shaped) a literal egg size serving with lots of dark brown gravy that was so salty we both could hardly swallow it! And don't forget the total of 3 mini Brussel sprouts. Again, I ate mine and she did not. I also drank almost 2 carafes of water they leave at your table/bar. The best part was the dessert Brownie with marshmallow fluff toasted? Was yummy! Now the bill comes and they include their tip per person on it. Not sure the gratuity % but was almost $23 each Overall I liked the concept and maybe would go back.......

    We loved our anniversary dinner at Fourk! The service was very attentive without feeling like your meal or conversation was being interrupted, and we loved how they gave some background to the restaurant and went over the courses with the chef. The star of the show is the food, we had a delicious meal that was very thoughtfully prepared and presented. It tasted equally as beautifully as it looked! We will definitely be back, and soon!!

    Fourth course: fig skillet cookie with cinnamon ice cream

    Fourk was a memorable experience! My friend and I originally did not know about this restaurant but after seeing it on Instagram, we had to check it out. It did not disappoint at all! It was amazing food and the sweetest staff. They have a warm atmosphere that feels so welcoming like I had been here forever. The manager, Shelbie was a sweetheart and made sure we were taken care of the entire time along with Leslie! Meeting the chef Jesse was a new experience because he walked us through the meal and his idea behind every dish. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a new date night idea or just to try something new! They also have a Lincoln location with a different menu and that is on our list for new week!

    Steak on crostini
    marilyn l.

    It's a four-course meal, but the portions are very small. Fortunately, we ordered an appetizer, or we would have left hungry. Someone recommended this place to us, comparing it to The Kitchen. It's not like The Kitchen at all. The presentation was subpar--two ribs on a plate with some maple beans and coleslaw. The beans tasted like they came from a can. The only highlight was the flank steak on crostini. The ribs tasted like it was steamed and not smoked. Maybe it was this month menu, but was not happy with the food selection. The mozzarella salad with sliced peach and glazed balsamic was okay but not very impressive, lacking much effort. The apple pie and ice cream were also just okay, with nothing particularly noteworthy. The service was good, but the food selection and portion was not impressive.

    Winter Sangria
    Michael S.

    I will start off by saying the experience was great. And the staff especially the Manger were extremely professional and welcoming. However, the food could have been a lot better. I see the potential in it but tonight was a bit rough. The "happy hour" before the start of the dining experience was fine. We started off with a small pour of wine, which was great. We did have to ask our server what it was cause he didn't explain it at all. We also tried the charcuterie board and just realized, tonight, what one of my new pet peeves is... when the server explains absolutely nothing about the board I am going to eat. What cheese is this? Is this ham or bologna? Oh, there's nuts here and what is that a cranberry jam? A figure it out for yourself board, nice! The sangria, though, was fantastic, a little thick and not sure what made it a smoothie like texture, but it was good. Our salad came which was fine. The lobster bisk I was really looking forward to, but it was at best luke warm and had random spots of almost ice cold. I just imagined I was eating gazpacho. The deconstructed beef wellington was okay. Pretty rare but I was okay with it but the lack of flavor was the issue. I did see the server bring out salt and pepper to another table which I should've asked for as well. The peppermint cheese cake was just okay as well. When the cook comes out to tell you about the meals and says that he just melted candy canes on top of the cheese cake, well it takes away from the mystery of how the "sausage is made." Over all meh, especially for dishing out $100 per person. If another dish sounds good we might try again. I, however, will look somewhere else first.

    I've been familiar with Fourk for a while and I was happy to find out that this Folsom location was open, since it is a lot closer for us. I was really excited for our reservation last night. I'll start off by saying that I enjoyed our evening. It's a small place with just one seating, and we arrived a little early for happy hour. We sat at the bar which was comfortable and I loved having a front row seat. I also love the concept of the four course monthly dinner, in a more casual environment. The staff were all friendly and fun. Our night started off well with our happy hour charcuterie plate. We loved the warm flat bread instead of the usual dry crackers, and the cheese, meats and honey were good. They have a good selection of wines by the glass and beers. But the main event, the four course tasting menu, was just not that great. My husband liked the salad, but to me it felt like it tasted like it had been sitting in a cooler for hours. The soup was a chicken pozole, something I like, but I could barely find the hominy. The main course was a sous vide angus beef burger, which my husband ate because I don't eat beef. Now I am a fan of sous vide cooking, but why would you do that to a burger? It was well done. The bun, mushrooms, onions and bacon jam were all nice, but it seems weird to not have a freshly cooked burger. Lucky for me I had an impossible burger which I am guessing they must have made separately. We did enjoy the cheesecake and the raspberry sauce. Here the sous vide seemed to work well. They have two wine pairings available, a regular and reserve, and we shared a reserve pairing, primarily because we wanted the port at the end. The wines were fine, but I'm not sure it was worth the upgrade. I kind of wish we just ordered glasses of port separately and stuck to wine by the glass. We enjoyed ourselves, but for the price, we just didn't think the food lived up to the experience.

    Dessert,, blueberry, lemon, amazing!!! I stole some of my Mom's too cause it was soooo good!!

    Ok, I want it all!!! Service impeccable, atmosphere wonderful, wine paring on point and the food!?!? I want to go here as much as possible!!! I will be going to this Folsom and the Lincoln location as much as possible!! See you there!

The food is consistently phenomenal. A varied menu from appetizers to lunch and dinner items. These chefs have perfected every dish. Big portions... no skimping at Manderes.

Someone is getting hungry just writing this!:) Happy Hour 3 to 5, Monday thru Friday. All the beer and wine selections are quality... with a capital Q. No crap on tap... as they say. Popular crab cakes, calamari, wings and more. You cannot go wrong. The customer service remains the best in the restaurant world. Seriously. Long time peeps who are pros. Every single one is incredible. You have their attention from start to finish. Hard workers. Manderes is not fancy. Ambiance is a cool, small, cozy area which includes a bar.

The bread crust had garlic baked onto it, and the dipping sauce was huge and flavorful. The Southwestern salad exceeded my expectations. It was huge! The chicken was grilled and blackened and cooked to perfection and served on a bed of fresh lettuce with black beans, chopped onions, and blue cheese with a spicy dressing that was fantastic. The dish was so good that I'm tempted to go back tomorrow night. If you're looking for a casual dining spot with a friendly local vibe and amazing food, Manderes fits the bill! I appreciated the fact they had a couple of NA beer options along with a nice selection of beer on tap. Highly recommend!

We each chose flights of wine to accompany our entrees. Despite including three wines per flight, the pours were fairly generous. Our dishes were perfectly prepared and came out more quickly than we expected, considering that the place was almost full. Our server checked back just enough and took care of any special requests promptly, even offering to exchange one of the wines (out of six!) that we didn't like for something better suited to our taste. The pace was leisurely which was fine given the good food and wine accompanied by the relaxed vibe of the live music. And the prices were quite reasonable given the quality of both the food and service. A dark-ish old school atmosphere added to its charm for us Baby Boomers, but even younger diners seemed to be enjoying themselves. As for us, we highly recommend it!

I mentioned we haven't received our chicken appetizer and she said "oh yah sorry it's coming" but still walked off with the appetizer plates to put the chicken on. Our food didn't arrive until about 7:10 p.m., and one of the meals was completely incorrect. On top of that, our food came out at different times instead of being served together. The portion sizes were surprisingly small for the price point. I ordered the Mahi tacos, which had only a small amount of fish and slaw, although each taco did include a generous amount of avocado. My husband's Hawaiian BBQ which he added Kalbi beef was also a very small portion and didn't feel worth the $36 price tag. We were so hungry that we didn't even get to take photos. The hostess was very enthusiastic about clearing our table and was attentive in that regard. Lily, our server, was kind and pleasant, and honestly, I felt sorry for her because she appeared to be the only waitress working. We had to ask for our check at the end of the meal, but Lily did comp our chicken wings because of the service issues, which was appreciated. Overall, the prompt seating was a good start, but the slow service, incorrect order, staggered food delivery, and small portions relative to the prices made for a disappointing dining experience. While Lily did her best, it seemed like the restaurant may have been understaffed.
