  philosophy-

       Fork creates a cutting-edge dining experience through our dedication to culinary perfection. With quality at the forefront, the Chef uses Fork's unique location–in one of the premier winemaking and agricultural areas in the world–to showcase the local food growers of the San Francisco Bay Area. The result is a consistently appealing yet dynamic menu featuring fresh new tastes to excite even the most discriminating palettes.
       
The restaurant owners are dedicated to a creating an exceptional dining experience through service that is professional, yet relaxed.
       
The Fork experience is one of flexibility, ideal for those who want a quick, light meal, a five course tasting menu, or a variety of flavors to share with friends. The wine list, accessibly priced, strikes a balance between New and Old World selections.
