The food was great, the experience sitting watching the chefs make the food really added to the evening. The server was fantastic, she took time to explain , for the evening and the different foods that we were about to have. Overall, great time.

Spork has been and always will be the best restaurant in town. Looking forward to it reopening under the new name and concept One! So glad the head chef is able to fulfill a passion and continue to provide excellent food in the future

Our first time at Spork, though we did eat at Spork Barbecue back when it was open. This was wonderful, we really should have been here prior to this. It is not cheap, but worth it.

Fantastic place for a date night. Pricey but worth it. The service was top tier. They were aware of food allergies and went above and beyond to accommodate (gluten, shellfish allergy). We had a phenomenal experience and will definitely be back!!

This is a lovely restaurant but the entrees, while tasty enough, were not as great as the price point. Its fun to receive the multiple "amuse bouches" and the drinks and appetizers were expensive but enjoyable. But I would prefer a different variety of entrees. The capon was small, the ravioli's sauce was rich. The dessert list is short. For the cost, I would prefer a view, and more than one fish entree, maybe duck instead of capon, etc, and some noise absorbtion.

The best dinner I've ever had! I really appreciated the little tasting that made the experience different and unique. We also loved all the things we ordered. Sometimes you go somewhere fancy and things are hit and miss. These were all wins!

I wish there were an option to give zero stars.
It's fascinating to see that every honest negative review receives a passive-aggressive response from the owner, who seems more interested in lecturing customers on their behavior than addressing the issues raised. I’m baffled that Spork has a 4-star rating. The service is subpar, with staff that appear to be more concerned with their own importance than with providing a good dining experience. The food is disappointing at best—an uninspired mix of ingredients that looks unique but fails miserably in terms of taste and cohesion. It's clear that style is prioritized over substance here.

Don't arrive 7 minutes early for a 5pm reservation. Hostess was actually rude and stated “We don't open until 5.” Not a good start to what we were expecting for fine dining. The chef tasting were a very nice touch, but we felt that they were trying to rush us through the meal. We like restaurants that cater to fine dining and make their guests feel that way. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the food and drink pairings. The food was good, but the halibut and octopus were over cooked. Overall, I'd try this restaurant again, but would opt for a later seating.
Absolutely worth it! Took my husband here for our anniversary and it was worth every penny! Service was flawless and not rushed which we appreciated since we ordered quit a bit of food to share. Food was impeccable and incredibly well done. No complaints here! We will absolutely be back! Our server and the rest of the wait staff were top notch!

The good stuff! The octopus is a show stopper and worth the $33. They provide an amuse bouche between courses which I thought was a very nice touch. There were also a couple downfalls. The noise was a but much, but was nothing compared to how long we waited for our dessert and the surprise of being told they don't split bills. They will only split the bill evenly. So on my birthday I had to do the math for everyone to Venmo my husband for the $600+ meal he didn't know he would have to pay for. I'd give this place another shot just for the octopus appetizer though.

Excellent experience - couldn't ask for better quality and overall experience. The attention to detail is top notch! Food is unique and delicious, the care and thought of each dish is wonderful!

This was an event not just a meal. Each course was prepared with care and I love they have a garden next door that they source as much as they can. Our food was fantastic! The best part of the experience hands down was the incredible Taylor who waited on us. It's rare to find someone who is just this good! Personable, friendly, funny, I could go on and on. Every course arrived with perfect timing. She was so knowledgeable about everything on the menu. She made my husbands birthday night so much fun for us. Thank you Taylor!

I found this place last year and booked it for my boyfriends birthday we loved it SO much I booked it again this year for his birthday! The drinks are his favorite. The food is out of this world. The scallop appetizer was by far the best scallops we’ve ever had. They bring small dishes out in between from their garden and each amazing in their own way.
