most uncomfortable restaurant seating EVER

 vlnvla, Tuesday, January 27, 2009
This review is for: Fork & Fork:Etc.
IF YOU EAT AT FORK, REQUEST NOT TO SIT ALONG THE WALL BENCHES. It almost ruined my experience. I was looking forward to eating at Fork for quite awhile, and when I walked in, I was greeted by a very cordial hostess who took my coat and brought me to my table. Little did I know that when I chose to sit on the bench along the wall, I would be distracted the entire evening by the awkwardness of the posture in which the bench cushion forced me to sit in. Because of the angle and height of that darn bench, I could not for the life of me enjoy my meal...for all the owner and chef put into the detail of Fork's menu and atmosphere, I am begging that they pay more attention to the quality of where their patrons sit as well (knees sticking up above hips and elbows below wrists is not the way to go). That being said, onto the food. The first course, beet salad, was fresh and lively. However, the presentation was a bit disappointing. The chefs could have gone a step further in chopping the beets, avocados, and grapefruits as to enhance the experience of the dish (big chunks=too isolated in flavor). The stuffed pepper was very stimulating and very filling. Best part? DESSERT!!! Incredible presentations, large portions, wholesome choices on the menu. The waitress and service staff was excellent. If I was seated in a half-decent posture, I think I would consider returning to Fork. Pros: great waitstaff, great desserts Cons: THOSE STUCK IN BENCH SEATS WILL SUFFER ALL EVENING
