    I personally only had the bufflo chicken dumplings it was too much sauce on my plate. But they were delicious and I got full. But everyone in my party said their food was really good and would return! Also, the drinks were also really good. I tried different ones, and again no one complained or had an issue with their food/ or drinks. Only issue we had was there were Nats not a lot but more than enough when you're trying to eat and they keeping coming around you.

    Our Thanksgiving dinner at Fork was everything we hoped for, from inventive takes on traditional dishes (like cranberry sauce flavored with star anise) to the newly renovated (moody, sophisticated) dining room. Highlights included fresh oysters and perfectly dressed tuna crudo, and roasted butternut squash stuffed with tangy labneh. No detail is overlooked—even the parsley butter for the dinner rolls was memorable. Creative cocktails like the “Sibling Rivalry” and a surprisingly smooth barrel aged Wild Turkey (a nod to the presumed centerpiece of the holiday meal) set the vibe, and service found the sweet spot between unobtrusive and efficient. Can’t wait for the seven fishes on Christmas Eve.
