    Had some of the best food I’ve ever eaten at Fork. The service was excellent and they went out of their way to offer recommendations to us while visiting Philly. Recommend it to anyone visiting who doesn’t want touristy vibes.

    Amazing food, very helpful and knowledgeable staff, great wine choices. Except for the noise level (but we dined there on a Saturday evening during the holiday season so the noise should have been expected), it was a perfect dinner experience. We will be back the next time we visit Philly!

    Amada is in my Mount Rushmore of fine dining! It’s a must do kind of experience for any date or joyous occasion. I love the dim lighting, romantic vibe, soft sexy instrumental music playing in the background, and very attentive staff. The bathroom even smelled great! There are so many delicious flavors to try with the tapas and the price is surprisingly reasonable for what you get! Thanks Again!!
