Fork Restaurant
Feb 14, 2011 by Dan from Marlton, NJ
Overall Rating: 3
Food:[6] • Service:[5] • Atmosphere:[2]

• The food was decent. However, it was far from great.
• The food was certainly overpriced. The environment was cold and pretentious. I expected better.

“Tonight was my first time dining at Fork. I had made reservations for my girlfriend and I two weeks in advance. I called to confirm a day before and when we got there they never put me in the system. I have to say that was a little aggravating. Luckily a table opened up. The food was pretty good. Not great. Certainly not what I had expected for the high price. It was a very pretentious crowd, and the waitress was snooty. I had heard good things about this restaurant and I have to say I was really disappointed. This was certainly not what I had hoped it would be. As I mentioned the food was decent, but it was overpriced. What really turned me off more that the overpriced food was the attitude of the people and lack of warmth which I thought we would get. Overall, it was OK. But just OK. There are so many other terrific places to dine in Philadelphia. I have no desire to return to Fork.”

• Great food. Excellent Caesar Salad, great service.
• Everything was wonderful.

“One of the best Italian restaurants in Philly. The Caesar Salad is prepared at the table. The Lobster Ravioli was delicious and their Tira Misu was the best ever.”

Vetri Ristorante

Overall Rating: 4

• Wine and beer lists were good.
• The food was not that good for the price.

“The food was not as good as meals found in chain places to eat. I will never go back there. Also, very expensive for what you get.”

Geno's Steaks

Overall Rating: 8

• Long line moved very quickly.
• Wait on 2 lines. One for steak and other for drinks and fries.

“The steak was good. They use real steak and it wasn't greasy or fatty. The roll was soft and tasted good. We had the wiz without onions. Both my husband and I enjoyed it and the kid loved it. I just think the hype about the Best Cheesesteak wasn't worth the drive.”

Buddakan

• Everything.
• A little cool in the restaurant both evening I was there.

“I love Buddakon. The first time I went was with a group of 16 people for a family get together. I was amazed how wonderful the service, the atmosphere, the beauty of the presentation of the food and the elegance of which it was served. I just revisited Buddakan with a party of 6 people. I called ahead and expressed the desire to be served at a specific time because we had tickets to a performance that began at 8pm.”
