From the OpenTable editors: More than 20 years into its run, James Beard Award-winning restaurateur Ellen Yin’s pioneering restaurant is still a hotspot for elegant, farm-to-table fare. Dig into hyper-seasonal dishes that could include dry-aged, grass-fed steak with bone marrow butter, potatoes, and bibb lettuce in the inviting dining room dressed with colorful murals and lush greenery. Add in a pitch-perfect wine list and exceptional service, and this is a neighborhood destination you’ll want to return to again and again.

    Food is seasonal and the fall to winter menu was great. Staff is very friendly and provided great recommendations. The ambiance is nice with low lighting which made for a cozy experience. Would come back again.

    Welcoming staff, very nice ambiance, excellent food, superior service. We had early reservations after a matinee show at a local theater and were promptly seated. Keegan waited on us and explained the menu. He was knowledgeable down to the sourcing of the food and the preparation. I had local NJ oysters (Sloop from Barnegat Light that were perfect: medium size, plump, just the right chewiness and brine. Best I have had in quite a while. My entree was striped bass in carrot persimmon sauce, bok choi, and risotto. My wife had Nantucket scallops (ceviche) and a second stater of mushroom gnocchi. All of this was spectacular. I rarely write reviews, though we eat out a lot. This place stood out so much I felt I should share. I’m not related to the owner and they didn’t pay me for a glowing review. Give it a try. PS Dessert was Basque cheesecake with sour apple. Perfect finish!

    Loved this experience. The food was quite remarkable. Honestly that hamburger is out of the park. They asked if we wanted egg and bacon and how would we ever say no. Great answer. We were rewarded for it. We also had an incredible scallop appetizer and a fall soup. Just delicious. Our waiter also was magical. A real gem.

    My partner and I had an amazing time at Fork. They have a nice selection of food and drink, and the quality is top tier. We had two superb waitresses who gave great suggestions and made the night enjoyable. We’ll definitely be stopping back here next time we’re in Philly.

    The food here is among the best in Philly. They gave us a 10% discount because we had tickets to the Arden Theater, which is fantastic. The chili rubbed pork chop was the best I’ve ever had. Oysters were amazing. We will return.

    Exceptional quality through and through. I was teased that a Dessert was “maybe” gonna be dropped off, that never occurred to me, but does not Skew my review.
