fork

fork. this restaurant is a must eat in the down-townboisearea. the location which the restaurant is curently located used to be a run down, nasty, disgusting bar. i am amazed at how this location has become an exquisite restaurant in boise. it is hard to decide which is better; the food, or the decor. superlative food and service. i am so happy to see a revival of amazing restaurants in down-town instead of obxnious bars!

aboisefavorite. the ambience of this place is just amazing. and with outdoor seating too it is a perfect summer time haunt. i would come back again and again just for this aspect alone. i honestly haven't tried much of the menu yet. i went with some work acquaintances and we just ordered some appetizers. the cheese plate was delicious and our waitress explained to us about each one. the crostini was the best i've ever had - it wasn't all hard and crunchy which i hate. i also got a 100 calorie margarita martini, which i also enjoyed! i think this is my new favorite spot when visitingboisefor work. also good location! can't wait to try more dishes and will update when i do.

~cd~. the people that say they don't like this place have never tried their hamburger. probably one of the best burgers i've ever had, and that says a lot since i'm overweight (so i've tried a lot of hamburgers) and was born in nj and worked in nyc, where the burgers are plentiful. they use a mixture of brisket and sirloin, that makes for an unbelievably moist burger. my only complaint was that i was too full to tackle the parmesan rosemary french fries, that were also out of this world. the bartender (not sure his name) spent time walking me through the menu, pointing out his favorites. he helped create the drink menu and was very helpful in selecting a beer. overall the atmosphere of this place is great, all the food looked awesome, and not that i'm inboiseoften, but will definitely go back to fork the next time i am.

great service & food. i met some friends at fork new years eve and even though it was fairly busy, the service was still friendly & fast. we had several people stop by to ask us how we were doing, even though they were not assigned to our table. the prime rib sandwich was amazing - i opted for the homemade chips vs. the rosemary fries, which were amazing.

i also enjoyed their "skinny" cocktails - i tried the mango limeade and it was very light & refreshing, but still had a little punch of alcohol. fork is a great addition toboisedowntown scene!
