    My wife and I had the distinct pleasure of experiencing an extraordinary dining experience this evening at Fork & Barrel. We are profoundly grateful to Geoffrey Heyde, and Emily Heyde, the owners, and their incredibly talented team for delivering a truly exceptional 5-star, 5-diamond level of fine dining. From start to finish, every aspect of the meal was executed flawlessly, reflecting the utmost in culinary mastery, impeccable service, and attention to detail. The entire experience was an unforgettable journey of top-tier flavors and hospitality, undoubtedly top of the heap in this Foodie town . Below are some photos captured on my iPhone, but they hardly do justice to the remarkable evening we had.

    We came in with a large group of eight and we’re seated in the bar area. We don’t particularly like sitting in the bar as it was very crowded and loud when we first arrived even at 8 PM on a Wednesday night. We had plenty of room to spread out and weren’t necessarily at Bar tables. The service was absolutely fantastic, as it usually is and all of the food we had was amazing. No disappointment with a large group sitting in the bar area. Look forward to my next visit!
