However, the honey goat cheese combo on the bread was stellar. Worth getting if you have a larger party, perhaps with just 2 if you really love bread. The flavor was a bit lacking, the sauces were somewhat bland, spicy from peppers but not robust. For the price point, it was alright but nothing terrific.

They do return your voicemails for reservation requests promptly. The menu does change seasonly so keep that in mind when you're looking at past menu pics but it will give you an idea of what they have. I would post more food pics but I forgot the names of the dishes. We went in November and absolutely loved what we ate and drank and the service was great! The atmosphere was also very nice. I noticed there is a stage with a piano which made me wonder if they have live music sometimes. I highly recommend!

Menu looked good. Great impromptu lunch! They offer curry & basmati rice plates, and you can choose whether you want 1, 2, 3, or 4 curries. We shared a 3 curry plate and selected mushroom, dahl, and mango (they had a selection of meaty curries as well). Food came out promptly, and we enjoyed it at one of several picnic tables under a large tree canopy which offered protection from the rain this day, but would be equally good for providing shade on a sunnier occasion. Each curry was so flavorful, it was hard to choose a favorite. Even between the two of us we probably consumed a little more than half and took the rest with us. It was just as delicious later on. And the hot sauce accompanying it was really spicy and tasty, too. Lots of teens showed up as we were finishing our meal, so this must be a popular high school lunch spot as well. Lal's Fork was such a happy and unexpected discovery!

I wasn't expecting to encounter a Sri Lankan food truck in Twisp, but what do you know? There it…read morewas, parked on-site at Twisp Works (also worth checking out). If you aren't familiar with the cuisine, Sri Lanka is a South Asian island country in the Indian Ocean that is a neighbor to India. While it is not part of India, I would describe the food as having many similarities, while being its own distinct cuisine. For example, we had vegetarian samosa at Fork, and while many of the elements were similar, the taste was different (spices, some ingredients). The curries were also distinctive, including a fruit curry (mango). The most unique dish appears to be a classic Sri Lankan item called kottu roti, which was chopped roti bread mixed and stir fried with vegetables and meat (or just veggies). This was my personal favorite, though the spouse was pretty into the samosas and the mango curry, despite "not liking mango." It was super hot that day, but luckily the picnic tables have tree cover for eating. Judging by the weekday crowd of workers on lunch, Fork seems like a hit with the locals, and it's easy to see why. This would be food hard to come by in some U.S. cities let alone a pretty rural area of the Pacific NW. Check it out if you are visiting or live nearby!

Our waitress was so friendly and welcoming. Truly felt like she embodied the Methow Valley welcoming committee. A good reminder that friendly and welcoming service - or a lack of it thereof - can make or break even the best meal. We started with their signature nachos with our cocktails. These were delicious, and smothered in queso sauce, pulled pork, bbq sauce, and a dollop of cole slaw on top. I tried the sliders for my main course, and others at the table ordered salads with proteins. There was a fabulous selection, perfect for a lighter meal. These were so bountiful that there was a nice portion to take home for lunch the next day. My trio of sliders were a little underwhelming. The rolls didn't seem same-day fresh and the meats were a little dry. I wanted something light; next time, I'll order a salad with a choice of barbecued meats. In any case, it was a good meal in a fine restaurant with a fantastic server with a twinkle in her eye. Can't beat that in the middle of the Methow Valley!
