We made reservations several weeks in advance for a special dinner and were looking forward to our first visit. During our half hour drive, the restaurant called to ask if we were all over 21. "Yes" I said and they hung up. Odd. We got to the restaurant which looked like a shabby roadhouse. Dirt gravel parking lot with plenty of obstacles and other cars parked randomly. No visible parking spaces. I let the group out while I maneuvered into a somewhat open spot. There are 2 entrances and I went in what seemed like the main. I found my party at the other entrance to the patio. Not adjacent to but sitting IN the doorway. It was 30deg outside. People were squeezing past opening the door. Cold drafty, and they were so very sorry there was no other table. Apparently we were bumped from the dining room. We were there an hour before they brought out bread. Advice to manager, if the table hasn't gotten bread in half hour, don't bring it unless they ask because at that point, you're simply showing how little you care. I ordered the seafood stew. Big mistake! Wresting with the crab in its tomato broth with no bib or towel. Don't order this if you care about your clothes. They eventually brought a hot towel but by then it was too late to help. Food was good and wine selection was good. But I get better service at an Arnies or Dennys. Not worth dropping $300 for party of four. Never going back. read more

Wow! Such an amazing find! Delicious food, wonderful patio atmosphere, great service. The pizza (steak, ham, goat cheese and caramelized onions with balsamic reduction) was so yummy. Shrimp and grits, arugula salad, and fried green tomatoes fit the bill. Highly recommend read more

The menu has a wide variety of options for breakfast and dinner. Haven't had lunch there but we plan to - soon! It has a very nice, good-sized dining area with excellent acoustics so the noise level is low. Very clean bathrooms plenty of parking. Our entrees had good portions and were well-seasoned - everyone was pleased with their choices. Service was quick and very accommodating to our needs. This is going to be our go-to place! read more

Cottage pancake was AMAZING! One of the pancakes I've had. What's their secret?! Made with cottage cheese so it's so moist and delish! Other dishes were also good. I got baked eggs with feta and spicy tomato sauce. Really flavorful and tasty. I like runny yolk with my baked eggs, so for my taste a little over cooked. My friend got shrimp and grits. Was saucy and perfectly cooked. Ambiance is quant, bright and warm. Service is good and friendly staff. Location away from city but close to lake Whatcom. Also kid friendly! Overall great brunch spot in Bellingham. read more

I'm lowering my previous 5 star review down to one based on our most recent experience. Due to the covid mandates in our area, we've become particularly inclined to making reservations. We understand that this not only helps the restaurant prepare accordingly, but it also guarantees us a table when so many restaurants are at limited capacity with the current Open Air Policy. With our reservations at The Fork, we were under the impression that we would be seated inside. This was not the immediate case. We were originally sat outside due to capacity issues, and while the staff did their best to accommodate us, the quickly dropping temperature was nearly unbearable. We decided to stay with the promise of being moved inside when a table freed up. I feel like we are pretty reasonable people and did our best to make light of a situation that was avoidable, but not a big enough issue during these times (covid mandates) to complain. Service was a little slower than usual, but, again, chalked up to capacity staffing. Our server, host, and the assumed manager were all kind. As we were doing our best to just be grateful we're even able to dine out right now, two obnoxious and loud guys stormed onto the patio asking if their friends were there. Our server told them no and the boys continued to bring attention to themselves as they followed her inside. 20 minutes went by and we never saw or heard from them again, that is, until we were finally moved inside for the last 15 minutes of our experience. The two fellows previously mentioned were belly up to the bar enjoying cocktails. It is at this moment that my 7 month pregnant blood began to boil. I am ALL about a business having the right to choose how to run their business and leaving the patrons to decide whether or not they want to support the business model. That being said, I also believe the rules should apply to everyone in the establishment. For example: if you're not going to require masks, fine. But do not pick and choose who is required and who is not. We were asked to sit outside in freezing temperatures due to capacity despite reservations. Homeboys roll up as friends of the owner and are immediately seated INSIDE and AT THE BAR. When the owner shows up and greets the guys at the bar, they start talking about "getting fucked up" with the intention of everyone hearing their conversation. The fairly intimate and quiet vibe prior was totally demolished. When we got our bill, I was disgusted. It was less about the cost itself and more about the cost + the experience. We definitely did not feel it rendered a nearly $200 bill. Feeling absolutely frustrated on our way out, our last image was of the owner and 6 of her friends seated at neighboring tables, ignoring all social distancing protocols and covid mandates. Again, slapping complying customers in the face. Needless to say, we will not be returning under current ownership after her and her friends blatant disrespect to paying customers. read more

The Fork At Agate Bay - Fork Caesar + Local Cod & Chips - New American Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

First off, location; this place is about a good 20 minutes from town, behind a lake, among the forest. It feels cozy and and quaint. My food was delicious, the service was superb, it was clean and tidy. It makes you feel like you've stumbled upon a hidden treasure. read more

Nice place but out of the way. Still seemed very popular. Now most reviews covered breakfast and dinner. This was a brunch/ lunch time eating event. Service was spot on. The lady was quick and efficient. We ordered a variety of foods which they brought out at one time. The She Crab soup and baked Brie were excellent. Very delicious. Our drinks were great. The fish and chips were good but my hubby complained that the industry standard is usually 3 pieces. He got 2 small pieces. The fries looked hand cut and were tasty. For $16 he thought the fish portion was too small. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The food was tasty but it was barely warm. The lady said a new cook was learning and his timing of food was off..she offered to take back but we were pressed for time...and I was hungry. We finished with the Beignets. That was hugely disappointing. I have had them before. The pic show how solid and dark brown these are. The outer portions were crunchy. The interior was cake like...more like a fritter than a beignet. The dipping sauces were fine but this was a total disaster as a beignet. The lady server gave us a shot of house made baileys which was very tasty as an apology for the shrimp. Overall is was a nice experience but I have a thing about how the food looks...the beignet was obviously overcooked but served anyways. Somewhere, the server or cook should have said no...mea culpa can't serve this. But to serve food that isn't up to their standard..especially for high end prices...well, that's the difference between a 3 star and a 4 star in my review. read more

My husband found this place looking for our first dinner out together since being at home and wow it did not disappoint. The restaurant is taking precautions very seriously, staff was pleasant and food amazing. We started with the Caesar salad that they split in the kitchen then for dinner the rib eye and seafood boil. My husband loved the sausage in the boil he almost bought some to go but they were running low. read more

This is a review for their weekday dinner service I arrived with a group of friends to try out the Fork for the first time. This is quite a trek down Lake Whatcom, so don't come if you are expecting a quick bite since this restaurant is more about the ambiance and experience. The restaurant itself is very quaint and cozy. I loved the warm rustic touches and it made me feel like I was about to eat at a friend's home. Okay now the bad. They completely FORGOT MY ENTREE. The waiter brought out everyone else's dishes and then comes to me to let me know the chef forgot to make my food. By this point, I had eaten plenty of appetizers so i wasn't hangry, but a little perturbed. I laughed it off as to not make the other guests uneasy and told them to quickly start on their meal before it got cold. The waiter gave me an empty plate to share with my partner... I think what upset me the most is that between my partner and I, we spent over 150 dollars on a meal and we expected 5 star service. Okay, fine the chef forgot my entree, but I would have appreciated a side dish, or bread.. or SOMETHING for me to munch on while I was waiting awkwardly while the other guests ate. Here's a review of the food clam appetizer 2/5- It came with cold and burnt grilled bread, clams were small. For the price, I would pass on this dish. burrata salad- 4/5- I liked this one... tasted fresh, healthy, light sausage apple pizza- 2/5- I didnt really understand this dish. It had waay too many contrasting flavors and textures. On one hand it was kind of Asian from the curried nuts (which by the way were chewy and stale tasting) on the other hand there was salty sausage and then a tart and chewy apple. steak- 2/5 - cooked to medium rare as I asked, but for some reason it was lukewarm... to the point where the butter they added on the top didn't melt AT ALL. Just one hard slab of old refrigerator tasting butter plopped onto a lukewarm steak. salmon 2/5- again, lukewarm... why?!?! And another slab of old butter placed on the top with no future of turning into it's liquid state. I was really torn on writing this review, as I understand it is a small business. I reached out to the restaurant after my experience and spoke to a waiter, since I was told they don't have a general manager. I was hoping to hear back from the restaurant. I can understand fusion food and some tastes are different from others, but basic things like cooking a steak or salmon to a hot temperature.. or storing butter properly so it doesn't taste old, or even just good old customer service like having the chef apologize for completely forgetting your entree on a weekday dinner service when there were less than 3 parties in the whole restaurant are things that should be avoidable when you are paying top dollar for food. I hope I was only there on an off night. I've heard great things about their brunch though. I'd like to try it again and will update my review. read more

This outstanding restaurant sits literally at the fork in the road. It is a polished and attractive restaurant with excellent service and terrific food. I ordered Shakshuka which is eggs in a tomato sauce and some micro-basil (This was new to me, but probably old hat to all of you north west folks). That was a new dish for me and I thought it was pretty good. My side of bacon was beyond outstanding. I don't know where they get their bacon from, but it was terrific and perfectly cooked. read more

One of my favorite little hidden restaurants in Bellingham, so much so I'm almost afraid to send too many people there. The food is creative and delicious. The wine list is impressive. And the staff are excellent! Not a cheap dining out experience, but definitely worth it. Perfect for date night or a celebratory meal. Quiet and romantic setting indoors and a nice little patio outside. Love The Fork at Agate Bay! read more

Beautiful atmosphere, good service and delicious food!! The shrimp and grits were amazing!!!

Honest Yelp Reviewers unwelcome. I received a bizarre, manic response from the manager/co-owner to my last review, that was very clearly not remotely about any of my previous visits (details on visits I haven't made) - but boiled down to "if you don't like us, don't ever come back we're fine the way we are". So if you want an average dish, with hostile servers (& owner, I feel very sorry for any staff working here after getting that message), a long drive, and an apparent disregard for improving in any way, go here! Otherwise, save yourself time, money and some bad mojo and eat anywhere else. read more

Excellent menu and great service. Their food and drink options are on point. When visiting the north end of lake whatcom, this is definitely a place we like to go. read more

Our server was lovely. That was the worst brunch I have ever had. Awful. I got the sautéed vegetables with grits and poached eggs. The grits were solid chunks swimming in water from the undercooked steamed vegetables. There was zero seasoning. None. The beignets were frozen, no longer scratch. My husbands eggs were cooked perfectly- the potatoes were also cooked perfectly- but zero seasoning. Nothing. So bland. The fruit plate was the best thing we had. read more

BRUNCH BRUNCH BRUNCH! Sort of in the middle of nowhere, The Fork is an absolute delight. Four of my friends and I came on a Sunday morning and were so glad we made a reservation. The restaurant itself has indoor as well as outdoor seating. It is clean and modernly decorated. I ordered the (homemade) biscuit w/ gravy along with potatoes and an egg. It was DELISH! Highly recommend it. My table also ordered the pancakes, breakfast sandwich, corned beef hash, and collard green grits. Everyone was busting at the seams when we finished. Oh! And order the orange juice. It's fresh squeezed juice that kickstarts your morning. Loved The Fork and will definitely be back soon. read more

I was with a group of ten. I had the white shrimp with grits. Had to pay an extra dollar to add spinach. The price was $18. plus $1.00, not the $14. I saw in their add. Other people ordered ribs and were very disappointed, saying they were too fatty - also too expensive. Service was good but after waiting until orders were being brought out we found out complimentary bread was served by request only... Seems petty for the prices they charge. When our bills came we found out a compulsory 20% tip was added to our totals for groups of our size! I thought servers got a large cost-of-living pay increase in order to make a living wage so I am not inclined to tip 20% anymore. Ten percent would have been fair. We all decided we would not eat there again. read more

We went for dinner to The Fork last night to celebrate my birthday: we found a nice, cozy restaurant with excellent cuisine. The dishes on the menu are creative, the quality of the food is top-notch, the size of portions neither too large nor too small, and the prices reasonable. The service is well paced, and the atmosphere is relaxed and strikes a nice balance between casual and formal. I'd definitely recommend it if you want a nice evening at a restaurant with creative offerings that won't break the bank. read more

Cute little joint at the fork of the road. Get it?! Hah!! Friendly staff, delicious food! We ordered the beignets as appetizer; very chewy love love love the butterscotch dips! We got some snack bites on the scallops, they kid you not when they said 'tiny'- Smaller than Drumpf's hand!! The taste though, is Out Of This World! Lastly, we got some chilaquiles, very homey... some real Mexican Food made by couple Gringos. Good Food! Pleasant Atmosphere! In the middle of nowhere, perfect for mini gateway. read more

I took a recent trip to Bellingham, Washington to visit my daughter, and spent a great deal of time researching restaurants before my trip. I definitely had to check out the fork, and was not disappointed. It was a beautiful 70 degree day, so we sat outside. Was really excited to see that they had Bellinis, and I also got to try one of their Bloody Marys. Excellent mix, and I'm picky. My vegetarian daughter was delighted that they had Cafe Du Monde beignets, and everyone else was very happy with what they ordered. I especially loved the Trout Benedict, served with some of the best fried potatoes I've ever had. The service was prompt, but laid-back and friendly. Will definitely visit each time I'm in town. read more

This is my second trip to the fork. The previous dinner last month was an excellent experience both from great service and delicious food. This morning I typed "breakfast" into Yelp and The Fork popped up in the search results. I was surprised as I assumed they were only open for dinner. So departed for the quick trip for breakfast and a walk along the Lake Whatcom North Shore trail afterwards. Friendly hostess greeted us and brought us to a nice table outside in the patio area. Beautiful setting with the warm weather and flowers all around. Our server was super friendly and attentive through the meal. We ordered frittata with Caramelized onions, baked garlic and goat cheese, and separately the huevos chorizo rancheros. Both meals were extraordinary. Accompanied the meal with the best mimosas I can recall drinking. I'm not sure if it's proper to have dessert after breakfast but I threw caution to the wind and ordered the beignets which was the right decision. Need to put The Fork on my short list of favorite Bellingham places to eat breakfast and dinner. read more

Ok I was very disappointed with my brunch. I ordered heuvos rancheros. The eggs were cold. The tortilla just laid there soggy with a bland tomato sauce on it. The dish had 2 slithers of avocado on it as well. They didn't refill my coffee or water the whole time I was there. My friend paid $4 for a small glass of OJ that he really didn't like. There is only 1 bathroom for the entire place. Overpriced! Never going back! read more

Came for brunch on Saturday. They were quite busy, so it was a bit loud and it took a little while for our order to be taken. That said, the hostess delivered our drinks quickly, so the wait wasn't painful. The mimosa is delicious! We both had the crispy spaetzl with eggs and house made sausage. (Eggs were a smidge overdone for over medium). Very tasty! Definitely mix in the pickled onion to give it a bit of tanginess. Not much sound deadening so can be a bit loud. Can't wait to try dinner. read more

We so had hoped for a great meal on a celebratory occasion. My husband ordered ahi....came w/ vegies on the side. So salty he couldn't eat them. I ordered the pork ribs which came w/ a few fingerling potatoes. Four small ribs...so fatty I only ate half. Ahi..$48. Pork $42. No salad included. Had a nice appetizer of baked brie which is the only reason we would return. Plus the staff was nice. By the time we added a beer, one glass of wine and tip we were just shy of $150. We won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Delicious food with a southern twist. More Charleston low country than New Orleans. Best shrimp and grits I've had since moving here.

New owners, two thumbs down. This used to be our favorite place. We knew the owners were selling and hoped the quality would hold, it didn't. We decided to stick with a lighter selection since we weren't sure what to expect. We ordered the special appetizer, the crab cake. It had a nice crisp to it but was super mushy and definitely didn't taste like the Bellingham crabs we know so well. It honestly tasted more like tuna fish than crab. Gross. Our salads were tasteless and the pizza we ordered was disappointing. The owner went to every table around us, introduced himself, and made small talk. He skipped our table for some reason. In a small dining area it was extremely obvious he wasn't interested in talking to us. Not sure why, especially since our server let him know we were regulars. Maybe that's how they do it in La Conner, where we overheard him say he lives. The only reason I gave it two stars was our friendly server. I'll be surprised if this place survives this new ownership. read more

Very nice place, although a little bit on a fine dining side rather than casual (unless you sit at the bar). Pizzas and appetizers are very good. We were able to get seated at the bar fast, although the restaurant was packed. Very good location and service. read more

The Fork At Agate Bay - New American Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

We had dinner at The Fork last night, September 10th. We ordered the Cajun White Shrimp & Three Cheese Grits ($14) for an appetizer and while they were OK, they were very runny and the cheese grits lacked much flavor. As our main courses, I had the Sirloin Steak with Confit Crushed Fingerlings & Sautéed Spinach ($48)....and my wife had the Pan Fried Catfish with Sweet & Spicy Corn Cream Pancetta, Peppers & Preserved Lemon with Dill Fettuccine ($36). Again both meals were OK but nothing special stood out. I asked that my steak be cooked Medium-Rare and it arrived looking rather Medium to me. It lacked flavor and parts of it had gristle in it. The Fingerling Potatoes & Sautéed Spinach made my meal as they were both done quite well and I enjoyed them more than the steak. My wife's Pan Fried Cat Fish was presented well sitting on top of the Fettuccine Corn Pancetta but some of the breading on the cat fish was soggy from the corn cream. I had a taste of her catfish and it's texture and taste were both good. Along with our wine ($25) and a piece of the Chocolate Tart ($10) for dessert and tip ($20)...with tax we spent nearly $158 for our meal. So the question we always ask ourselves after eating at a restaurant and spending this kind of money is..."Would we go back"...and unfortuntely we had nothing last night that we would like to have again. PS...their Pizza menu looked interesting... read more

The Fork at Agate Bay has intrigued me since I learned that it took over the space from the previous owners, who operated a café and small grocery store called Grammy's. Don't expect this place to have the quaintness of Grammy's, because it's quite the opposite. The tasteful interior can best be described as "contemporary beach house chic," with hardwood floors and an interior color palette of black, white and grey. Even though the restaurant is about 15 minutes outside of town, the place was bustling and I understand why. The service was prompt and friendly, the food was fresh, flavorful and affordable, and my time traveling and eating felt like a mini-vacation. My visit, accompanied by a few friends, took place during a snowy Sunday for brunch. The feel of the place just begs for a summertime visit, and I look forward to going back. The service was great and I think the length of our stay was perfect. It was enough time to relax and talk with friends, and I never felt like we were waiting on the waitress for anything, even water and coffee. After perusing both the breakfast and lunch menus, I decided on huevos rancheros, as well as an order of beignets for the three of us to split. The veggie burger with tomato aioli was mighty tempting until I found out that the veggie patty wasn't made in-house. I don't feel right paying $9.00 for a dressed-up pre-made Gardenburger or Boca patty. First up was our order of beignets. The order included three large pastries, along with chocolate, caramel and raspberry dipping sauces. They were dusted with powdered sugar and not overly sweet. The beignets weren't terribly exciting to be honest, but they did go well with a cup of Portland's award-winning Stumptown Coffee. I stuck to coffee since I am not much of a morning drinker, but I did notice a large wine list, $5.00 mimosas and an impressive beer selection, including an IPA from hard-to-find Hopworks Urban Brewing. The huevos rancheros were flavorful and filling, even though I was fooled into thinking it wasn't going to be enough because of the bowl it was served in. The generous layers of black beans, fried eggs, white cheddar and chipotle ranchero sauce proved quite filling, though I did save room to try my friends banana's foster french toast. I am not normally big on banana, but this french toast was flawless. The cream anglaise brought the perfect amount of sweet - I had to tell myself to stop eating her food since I was already full. I can't wait to come back to The Fork at Agate Bay this summer and bring friends. The food is delicious, the prices are fair and the drive is beautiful. It's the perfect little getaway for those of us who don't have the time or money to get out of Bellingham as often as we'd like to.

After deciding on a 1pm brunch, we knew we had the option to choose breakfast or lunch! We started out with two orders of the beignets and the were amazing, I loved the three sauces that came with them, all of which were delicious. It took quite a long time for our food to come out, but the wait was worth it. We had the roasted pork verde chilaquiles, creamy polenta and eggs with the sausage, chicken fried steak, a sausage and apple pizza and lastly a fork burger! I tried it all and everything was delicious. My three favorites- The pizza was great, the flavors all worked wonderful together, and I loved the curried nuts. The chilaquiles were delicious, loved the pork, and not all of the chips were soggy which is how I like them. The creamy polenta was yummy, I highly recommend ordering it with the sausage as that added to the flavors! Oh yea, do yourself a favor and just order the beignets. Make sure each person in your group gets at least one. A half would not cut it. I'm excited to come back to try other menu items! read more

Excellent meal tonight. It's really tough for restaurants right now, short staffed and shifting demand, so we were delighted that the Fork could make our birthday evening so special. I had the blackcod- beautifily prepared. Everyone else was very happy with their choices. Great service, I'm so glad quality restaurants can hang on in these challenging times. read more

We have been to the fork twice- once for breakfast and once for dinner. When we came for breakfast a few months ago, we were blown away and had such an excellent experience and great food. When we came for dinner last night, the service was good and our appetizers were too. We had the half shell oysters and Taylor clams. We were pretty disappointed in our entrees. I had the risotto and both of us agreed that I had made much better risotto at home. This risotto was kind of chewy and flavorless. I only ate about 1/3 of it. My partner ordered the mushroom onion sausage pizza and while the crust and cheese were good, the vegetables had just been thrown on top raw before the pizza went into the oven. They hadn't been seasoned or cooked beforehand. We were surprised and agreed we wouldn't be back for dinner or lunch there. read more

I stopped at this adorable little farm to table restaurant on my way back from a hike. I noticed in a previous review the person said they were underdressed. It is a nicer place but I was in my hiking clothes and I noticed some other people there I passed on the hiking trail as well eating, so I think it can be a fancy or casual place. I decided to sit outside since it was a nice day out. The decor inside was really nice and I loved the beautiful and clean restroom. They are open for breakfast and lunch on weekends only, dinner is served Wed-Sun. Most of the items on the menu were reasonably priced between $10 - $15. I ordered the shrimp n grits from the small plate section, it was delicious. I also had a cup of the soup of the day which was mushroom sherry, and a peach bellini to drink. Great service. Hope I can come back sometime and try other items off the menu. read more

I really wanted to love this place. I realize they changed ownership recently so maybe that's why the service was what it was. Sadly The Fork didn't live up to the hype for me. The great reviews, charming location (I was born and raised here and it's my first time back in the area in 5 years), and fresh local food. It's adorable with great decor. But for me, the service stank. From the moment I walked in and awkwardly stood there for several minutes not knowing I I should take a seat, if they were still serving - I'm not one that needs an invitation but there wasn't a greeting or acknowledgement from the gal behind the bar, someone I'm guessing was the chef didn't look up. I hoped it would get better, sadly it didn't. The couple on either side of me were touched base with several times and well-attended to - so maybe being a regular would have made a difference. Maybe the food would change the experience? Corn beef hash was so-so - the corned beef itself was fabulous! But the rest was on the bland side. Biscuit on the dry side I'll try one more time for happy hour in the sun. read more

The Fork is in a random location. In the middle of the forest. The ambiance is relaxing and cozy. The service is pleasant and kind. The speed of service is brisk and elegantly timed. The food is very home style presented in a gourmet fashion. A very good breakfast feast indeed. French toast stuffed with different meats. Very filling. Appetizers such as short braised ribs make this place classy, but in a cottage kind of way. I had a very good romantic experience here. I did not expect such a good place in the middle of no where. The music was also very good and chill. Lounge like music. read more

By Far the WORST experience I have ever had at any restaurant! Our server was great and was doing the best she could however the food took over 1.5 hours to get to our table. We saw numerous tables get seated before us who had eaten and left before we got any food. The owner Dave was terrible. He saw that we had been waiting for our food and came over after about 1 hour and 15 minutes to "Apologize". When our food arrived it was not worth the wait. The food was horrible, we had to send back the ahi tuna as it was un-edible, the rib eye wasn't even a 1/2 thick it was almost 1/4inch thick, dry and tasted watery, the pork ribs were all bone and hardly any meat and the duck was undercooked and cold. There were so many excuses that were given to us regarding why our food took so long and why our food didn't taste so good or was bad. By the end of our meal half of our party had enough and ended up leaving to go get food elsewhere. The owner and our server came over to our table with some "free" desserts and the owner said he would be taking $180 off our meal. When we received our bill all items that we had ordered were on the bill, even the items that we sent back and didn't eat, all desserts were on the bill, and nothing had been taken care of. Overall terrible experience, horrible food and most stingy owner I've ever met! Will not be going back ever and will make sure to let everyone know not to ever go check it out. read more

I love the ambiance of this restaurant but there have been a few times that I have gotten poorly done meals. The first time my pancakes were not cooked all the way through and were completely raw. The second time my boiled egg was not properly cooked. I decided to not go back there again after those times but I go when my family goes and I just get toast because I do not want to get something poorly done again. This restaurant has awesome opportunity and hopefully one day they will live up to it. read more

I had a stellar dinner here yesterday that had me swooning over my meal the entire time. I had the seared duck breast with Bing cherry reduction, served with a very tasty polenta cake, and I absolutely loved all of it. Their house-made rolls and special butter are good enough to make a meal out of by themselves. Spinach salad was very fresh. My husband enjoyed the ahi tuna with honey mustard sauce but thought mustard was an odd flavor to pair with tuna. Service was very good. I love the ambiance of The Fork. It's a perfect blend of casual with fine dining. A true gem. Although I hope they keep the duck with cherry reduction on the menu (which I will be back for more of), I've noticed that the menu doesn't change very much seasonally, so my one wish is for them to vary it a little more by rotating other dishes through to keep it interesting. read more
