The house made fig negroni is nice; the turkey club would be equally nice if the bread wasn't a victim of the Exxon Valdez spill. Toast should be crisp and delectable not sodden with oil. Meantime, they couldn't make literally a few dollars change on a crisp 100 dollar bill during a slow lunch. Do better Forked.

I was very disappointed in the service as my soup was not hot by the time I got my spoon. Did not ask for it reheated as it was not that good. Waiter would not separate bill and stated manager said it could not be done. The restaurant does not accommodate special requests like cutting a burger in half, leaving water on the table or making a cake for celebration. If you bring in a cake they will surcharge $8.00 every person. There was potential for some of the dishes to come back but not after they way they made us feel like the customers did something wrong for making a reservation and eating there.

Wonderful restaurant with a great hometown bar scene. My husband and I have been coming here for years and we love it. The food and cocktails are seasonal and delicious and often made with local produce. The staff is warm and helpful and will take good care of you!

Had a delicious lunch and an overall good experience. There was a large party of women near us that was very loud and pretty obnoxious...our server graciously offered to move us to the other side of the restaurant so that we could enjoy our lunch. All of the staff were super sweet and attentive, which is honestly hard to come by these days. Our food was flavorful, and they even had many gluten free options. Can't wait to come back!

I was very disappointed in the tuna tartare. it was presented nicely but lacked flavor. I couldnât even tell if there was tuna because the sesame overwhelmed the dish. There may have been three small pieces of tuna in the entire dish. The crab bisque, presented well, lacked flavor, was lukewarm and only had one piece of crabmeat. I found it odd that the server had to get everything approved by the manager. everything was micromanaged. We will not be returning.

I was really looking forward to our lunch with a large group, but honestly, my experience left a lot to be desired. When calling to make a reservation for many people, we were told that the credit card on file would be charged $25 per person for any no-shows. The reason given by management being âyouâre taking up tables that others could be usingâ. True. However, our party of 12 (who all showed up) found two diners there when we arrived, and no more than a few others during the two+ hours we were there. We certainly did not take use of tables that otherwise would have been occupied. You are welcome for our patronage since I am sure we more than doubled revenue for your âlunch rushâ. It would have been much better to frame things positively. A $25 deposit toward our meals would have covered any no-shows (again, we had none), provided a win-win solution, and without this off-putting penalty. I found the reasoning to be in poor taste. Our server, Shaun, was very attentive and provided service worthy of an added tip (our bills already reflecting gratuity included). Unfortunately, we were denied the option of separate checks - sad, given that many of us would have padded the tip. I found it odd that we were denied a pitcher of water for our table of 12. I am sure we could have saved our server a few steps filling our waters when he could have been fielding other issues since all of our requests were micro-managed by âupper managementâ. My burger was very good, although the request to have it and one other sandwich sliced in half for swap-sharing was also denied. I hope you can take these suggestions in manner intended, to improve the customer experience for your future guests (of which we will not be). P.S. the fried pickles were bomb.

The lunch experience was underwhelming. Although the presentation and concept were commendable the overall execution fell short. Unfortunately my meal lakes flavor and was greasy. In a large party the standout dishes were fried pickles and a burger. In my opinion management was the primary issue. The waiter required managerial approval for every request which was consistently denied including simple requests for water in the table to getting change for paying the bill. This was quite unusual. When making the reservation we mentioned it was a birthday celebration lunch and we requested to bring a cake which was denied. We also inquired about the possibility of the restaurant baking a cake but this was also denied. The only option provided was to bring a cake ourselves and have the restaurant charge us $8 per person for consuming it on the premises. While the restaurant itself has a pleasant aesthetic and intriguing concept effective management is essential to bring these elements together successfully. Unfortunately none of us will be returning.
Best restaurant in Orange & our go to! Stephanie is fantastic and Sarah is our favorite bartender!! The drinks are always delicious as is the food! We have gone to forked for impromptu dinner dates, private parties, live music, happy hour, special menu valentines dinners and more!!! Iâd say we are pretty lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in the heart of our small town! We love Forked on Main!
