"In an era of pop-ups and clubstaurants, it’s refreshing to eat somewhere that knows itself so well. Fork, the sophisticated Old City restaurant and the eldest sibling of the A.Kitchen and High Street family, has been a stalwart of Philly’s dining scene since 1997. It's always a good choice for dinner with your in-laws or someone who likes eating their own main of nicely cooked, chili-rubbed pork chop. Fortunately, there's no stuffiness whatsoever. Because this is Philly, and Fork understands that friendly, down-to-earth service is king." - alison kessler, candis mclean
