Beautiful presentation, elevated food, and delightful service. I had a rabbit special cooked 3 ways and the chilled melon soup . Fresh bread and burrata were also amazing.

Esquire: My entire family has dined at Fork and loved every meal—from shrimp & grits at brunch to Champagne roasted chicken (takeaway ) dinners during quarantine. Every experience at Fork is edifying.

Squid bread is an original. Having the Chet's tasting -11 course dinner ! Infused with Philadelphia original tastes and many, many other bursts. Great service, ambience, Outstanding!

Do Hee Jeong

Another great find in Philly. The scallop and roots dishes were wonderful starters. I would highly recommend the pici for the pasta . Be prepared for a major food coma.

GrantBwpg

Go for the house menu - bronzino for one of us and guinea hen for the other. Deborah was a wealth of info about the menu and the new chef (oct 2012). One of the best meals we have ever had.

Philadelphia Magazine

Dinner is pricey , but the service justifies the cost. When I failed to gush over my server’s favorite wine , she took a sip, agreed, and uncorked a fresh bottle as excellent as her taste-memory. Read more

Scott Dzialo

Incredibly good food in a fun atmosphere . Menu changes frequently, but if they have the venison carpaccio or the squid ink rigatoni , GET IT.

Alfred Zfilan

The chef presents new creations that will wake up your palate: spices mixed with traditional American dishes. A nice spot with knowledgeable and caring waiters .

Michael Romeo

The brunch for the table for 2 was A-MAZING. a little pricey for brunch for 2, but no regrets. Great Bloody Mary and excellent service.

Chef Eli Kulp has some serious chops. He's a Del Posto and Torrisi alum and is making great use of those experiences at the helm of the kitchen at Fork and High Street Market .

This is my go to quick lunch spot in Old City with great salads soup and sandwiches . Breads and pastries baked in house and delicious. Service is excellent and friendly .

Super-inventive menu with one of the best chefs in town ! Breads are just amazing (& I was low-carbing the first time I went!)

Offering "New American" cuisine that is locally sourced and seasonal, Fork is elegant dining without stuffiness. Their cafe next door is perfect for a quick coffee date.

NewsWorks

Worth it just to get a peek at the fresh-baked bread . We like it for the iced coffee in the summer and the hot coffee in the winter. Didn't care for their chicken salad , tho.

Ehhh. This place feels kind of past its prime. The entrees were entirely predictable and so was the dessert menu (creme brulee anyone?).
