travel42: Reasonably priced fine dining. Try the hazelnut-crusted salmon or the grilled chimichurri hanger steak with spicy aioli.
John Koen: Super-inventive menu with one of the best chefs in town! Breads are just amazing (& I was low-carbing the first time I went!)
Eater: The addition of Eli Kulp has kicked the experience at Fork up to a whole new level, and the critics and crowd have responded with glowing reviews and word of mouth
