iii forks

obtrusive waiter; bad experience. what would have been an otherwise great steak and dinner with friends became an annoying experience due to a waiter that kept pushing additional items, more expensive wines, and unwanted appetizers every few minutes (to include interrupting our conversation). disappointing for such a good, but expensive steakhouse.

for real. how can you not like this place? only issue is the price. everything else is top notch. do it.

good. this was good, but not on the level of bob's, capital grill or del frisco's.

de-core was odd too.

eghhh, food was ok. apps were the best part of the meal. my ribeye was cooked perfectly med-rare but was dry as hell. i'm not sure if all steaks are like that but for less than half the price i feel like i could go to outback for same flavor/quality. i'm a huge foodie that definitely knows my meats and this most definitely was not up to all the hype especially for the price. great ambience and cocktails though, however, i will not be going back.

iii sporks. wifey and i were out of town for valentine's day so i thought i would make it up to her by going to a nice restaurant. well, iii forks is pleasing to the eye and the service was outstanding. that's where the good ends.
drinks:
rum and coke for me. weak. more like water and coke.
amaretto sour for wife: devoid of amaretto and all sour. they didn't bother to stir it either. horrible. wife would not drink it. i did and couldn't finish it.

apps:
onion rings: plenty of them but mediocre. totally devoid of flavor. did they order up extra bland onions? far better at other fine steakhouses.
"the medley": two jumbo shrimp. one with cocktail sauce and one with spicy horseradish. a small crab cake and a bacon wrapped scallop. the crabcake was mush. horrid!! flavorless. couldn't taste any crab. watery. the shrimp was ok but frankly had better at pappadeaux's. really. the scallop was fine and bacon was soggy.

the entrees:
i got the 16 oz prime rib. came with tasty mashed potatoes. veggies (crisp). corn was ok, very sweet and crunchy. the horseradish was great. nice and strong. the meat? medium rare and temp was perfect. flavor? pretty bland. much better at outback steakhouse for half the price. much more flavor.
chilean sea bass for the wife. she always gets this whenever offered. iii fork's version ranks all time last. no flavor and rubbery. every one she has ordered at good restaurants has been much better than iii forks. came with wild rice which my wife felt had a very strong flavor. i thought it was ok but not a good match to the fish.

dessert: creme brulee. excellent. very good.

coffee: regular for wife. full of chicory taste. two sips and she was done. double espresso for me. tasted like maxwell house without the house. weak and flavorless.

tab: 147 bucks. i left 28 buck tip as julie the waitress was outstanding. the hostesses, managers everyone, very polite and concerned. the restaurant had piano playing, very nice ambiance. clean. just the food isn't worth it.
go to ruth's chris, bob's or my favorite..nick and sam's.

just flew in from california, we were starving and tired. the service was excellent and the food was even better. pricey, but worth it.

best steakhouse in dallas ! great place for a special occasion. best filet ever (get it with lump crab meat- delish). very expensive but you won't be disappointed. the server will ask you if "everything is perfect?" that's how good it is.

love it! my fiancé proposed to me there and we were treated like royalty. great for special occasions and my 2 pieces of cake are still at the top of my pastry list. can't wait for more!

it's not cheap, but it is the best steak i've had around here and they treat you right. save up and go!

unique experience and great value. some people think iii forks is over the top texan, but having experienced many of the dallas area steak houses, i can guarantee you will get no better value for your money anywhere in town. here, your sides are included with the price of the meal, and they are superb. the steaks are always cooked perfectly and are the highest quality. frequently the owners circulate and chat you up and this is a big place. the decor is big texas but tasteful and an experience you will never forget. a special treat is restaurant week if you can get reservations. a great way to sample the best for less! one of our favorites.

as i was watching anthony bourdain today i was thinking to myself about how bad i have been about blogging...sorry i just haven't been anywhere good, or anywhere for that matter. i do have a fridge full of good beer though so maybe i'll become a beer blog

so so. don't get me wrong, the food was good just not "impressed" steak similar to saltgrass. nothing really stands out for the price. even with a reservation we had a 30-45 min wait.

best steak in dallas!. this is my favorite steak restaurant. i haven't had a better steak anywhere!

great salad. pricey but very much worth it!

awesome salad.... and steaks. for some reason dallas steakhouses love to pour on the seasoning on their beef. 3 forks is no exception to this trend, however, that does not mean the steaks aren't any good, quite the opposite.

for my meal, i had the oscar medallions and the 3 forks salad. the salad was actually my favorite part of the meal. if you like your steaks oscar style, i highly recommend the dish. all in all, two thumbs up on the dining experience.
