Fork

I really enjoyed our visit. I had the salmon salad (with avocado added) and it was the best salad I’ve ever had. It was HUGE (but not way too much to eat, I still finished it) and so fresh and delicious. Lots of yummy, healthy toppings that were wonderful. Our waiter was lovely, and took good care of us as we ordered a few rounds of drinks. We got the grilled cheese fondue and it was fantastic. You should definitely try it! The desert was also wonderful. Both the bread pudding and the butter cake were exceptional. I really enjoyed the vanilla old fashioned, as well. Overall, an excellent restaurant for a special meal— yet very affordable!!

Nice calming vibes. Ordered half of a house salad, still very large portion. Ordered 2 kids cheese burgers, super cute. Brussels sprouts were delicious ( must have appetizer) thank god they didn't have blue cheese on them. Very well priced. Staff was great. Everything came out togther which was nice. I loved they asked if anyone at the table had food allergies and was very knowledgeable and made sure there was no cross contamination.

I never thought a restaurant could change the way I think about breakfast, lunch, and the very shape of existence — but Fork did that. Let me explain, because this isn’t just another review. This is the story of how a humble morning at Fork spiraled into one of the most unexpectedly transformative experiences of my adult life. First, some context: I am a reluctant traveler. I’m the type who plans against spontaneity. My suitcase has a stringent checklist; my internal GPS is calibrated to “avoid unfamiliar turns.” Yet here I was, trudging down 8th Street in Boise at 10:37 AM with a nebulous longing for pancakes but no idea why, exactly, my soul felt slightly hollow that morning. Probably existential ennui coupled with only three hours of sleep after trying (and failing) to teach my cat to fetch. I arrived at Fork like someone unknowingly stepping onto the threshold of a storybook forest. There was laughter spilling out of the open windows — joyful, unpretentious, warm — and it felt like being invited to dinner by someone who already knew your favorite color. The hostess greeted me with a grin that suggested Fork had secrets worth sharing. She seated me at a table by the window, where the morning sun hit just right — think God’s spotlight, but gentle.

I will have asparagus cravings after eating at Fork! Their deep fried asparagus with a finger licking dip is a perfect late night bite. I could eat a big bowl of them and drink the sauce and not apologize for doing so. Finish off the evening with warm butter cake. I love my husband but I might ask him to leave the room and leave me alone with this cake. I only remembered to take photo after I had devoured it :) Bonus there is a cool bar, 8 Horses Lounge, under the restaurant. Sat in a vault (yes vault!) and had one of the best Old Fashions I've ever tasted. Boise has a great food scene!

I had visited once before about a year ago, and I finally got my husband to go with me. This is a great place to bring family, visitors, or even to get together with friends. We had a lunch date and left full and happy. I started with an Espresso Martini they called a Carajllo. It was deliciously smooth. The twist of adding lemon was fine, but I think I'd like it more without it. My husband and I then shared the following three appetizers: -Asparagus 'Fries': These were some of the thickest asparagus I've seen. The breading was great but could have used a bit more flavor. -Tomato Basil Fondue & Grilled Cheese: Honestly, I would change nothing about this dish. It's so fun and tasty. The bread keeps its crunch, which I appreciate. -Wagyu Sliders: These were my least favorite. They were a tad greasy and plain in flavor. I do always love the arugula on sliders, though!
