More information on Fork (The)
Fork, with its tall green banquettes, beautifully shaded light fixtures, oval-shaped bar, and open rear kitchen, is an affordable, stylish bistro -- and a local favorite. Set in a historic brick former warehouse, it is intimate and convivial, with 68 impeccable seats, and sought-after bar stools where regulars like to perch for a late-night pasta or cheese plate. Most of the ingredients come from organic farms and Amish purveyors and the menu changes daily. Signature dishes include mustard seed-crusted scallops over butternut squash risotto, and chimichurri-laced hanger steak with matchstick-thin yucca frites. Sunday brunch is excellent, featuring brioche French toast and creamy cheddar grits.A couple of years ago, Fork expanded next door with Fork, Etc. at 308 Market St., an all-day cafe selling eat-in or takeout gourmet sandwiches, salads, soups, baked goods, beverages, and wonderful, food-centric hostess gifts -- antique corkscrews, handmade pottery bowls, vintage cordial glasses. On Wednesday nights, this space hosts a first-come, first-served four-course, staff meal-style dinner around a tall, shared table. The $40 price tag includes wine.
