What a great evening! We dined at 3 Forks on New Years Eve. Our experience was top notch from start to finish. We were greeted at the door with an offer to check out coats and then promptly escorted to our table. The room is very chic yet comfortable. We started with crab cakes and sea scallops for appetizers. They were both very well executed and flavorful. My brother had the Tomahawk and couldn’t stop raving about it, my bf had the bone in ribeye. My bf is a steak snob and says that was the best bone in ribeye he’s had in a long time. I had the salmon with Oscar topping and my brothers gf had the seabass. It was all good. We had several different cocktails and then a champagne toast to ring in the New Year. I can’t think of a better way to begin a new year.

Attended III Forks with my family for NYE dinner. The scenery and overall vibe of the place was excellent! Cozy, sleek settling with a contemporary flair. Gerry our server was friendly and sweet and gave us tasty recommendations for starters and entrees. However, the starters were small and the bowl of soup was meant for one person and not the«shareable» option as she suggested. Our server gave excellent service but I can’t say the same for the host staff. The hosts were extremely attentive to the Asian party of five before us — they took their coats and greeted them warmly. We waited at the front door observing the area which was mostly empty(they claimed to only have a 5 o’clock appointment available) — when the Host greeted us we were not offered that same hospitality and was just escorted to our table. The Cocktails(I loved the Ketel One Mule) and food was amazing! Tomahawk ribeye was delicious — a must have for any stake lover! If you decide to get dessert go for the bread pudding At the end of dinner, we decided to take a family photo with our IPhone — they came out blurry once we asked to retake the photo(ONEPHOTO) the other Host exclaimed«we have other guests that need to be seated» I was appalled — after spending $$$ and waiting to be seated, the host acted as if she was too busy. And there was two people at door that she could have sat herself. Overall they were unprepared for the five o’clock reservations The service displayed here was disappointing, unsure if I would return but members of party stated because of the service of the front staff — they have no interest in returning

For 2& a ½ years I’ve wanted to dine here, I finally was invited to a birthday event here and excitedly hopped on the chance to partake in festivities here. Very nice restaurant!!! The view and scene here is marvelous. When we arrived we valet parked, walked to the hostess and were seated immediately. Our initial table was too small for the group so we were moved expeditiously to another table which had the accomodations that we needed. Table 530. Our Server Matthew was quick and polite with taking our orders. While we waited we were allowed to take pics in the private dining area since it was empty for the evening. For Food we all had a variety of things, I had the rack of lamb med rare and mashed potatoes. I had 2 lemon drop martini’s as well. The rack of lambs was small in portion for $ 46. There were 2 bones, & they were a little fatty. They were cooked a perfect med rare and were very tasty. They topped the lamb chops with bread crumbs and a honey mustard coating. Initially I was apprehensive about that, I don’t normally like things on my meat, but I was starving and wanted to try it and thankfully it was good. I do feel the server should’ve warned me or atleast described the dish as he described the mashed potatoes having garnishments on it before he brought it out. The mashed potatoes were tasty as well. I did add more salt to my meal as it wasn’t as seasoned as I like my food. My lemon drop martini was strong and tasty. Now here’s why the 2 stars are lost. One of the ladies asked Matthew for additional sauce for her shrimp and pasta dish because it didn’t have enough or any sauce on the dish. I don’t know where we went wrong here, but the server became curt and snappy with the lady and it spilled over to him helping the rest of us. He was definitely serving up major attitude and it left alot of us puzzled as to what the hell happened that quickly. On a good note the restaurant provided the birthday girl a $ 25 gift card for her patronage which was very nice. Although it expires Feb 1st, 2015. I don’t know if I’d rush back, I would like to try their steaks, but the menu wasn’t really outstanding and the prices were a little high.

A tasty treat off the trampled path and away from the other more popular steakhouses. Super awesome venue with a great view and great staff. The wine list was great as they had plenty of varietals and vintages at reasonable prices. I ordered the filet mignon and blue cheese butter topping. It was amazing.

An anniversary hit! We were looking for something quiet with a romantic ambiance and we found it. Upon entering we were warmly welcomed by the hostess and seated immediately. We had reservations for a Sunday evening and it was perfect — not crowded at all. We had the option of sitting at a booth or table and we opted for the booth. I really, really liked the spaciousness and intimacy of our seating. It was pleasant having a nice, quiet dinner without having to speak over other people or feeling like others are a part of your special evening.(No conversation crossovers!) Our hostess was Erica and she was amazing. She was gracious, welcoming and wished us a happy anniversary as we were seated. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and I really appreciated her insight on the food items. We started off with warm bread — so soft and delicious. We couldn’t stop eating it. We then continued with our appetizer — lamb meatballs and we were both in heaven — the sauce was amazing! For our main dish I had the filet mignon cooked medium and it was beautifully seasoned and cooked to perfection — I enjoyed every single bite. The hubby ordered the salmon and it was delightful. We also ordered the mashed potatoes and they were a nice compliment to our dishes. After finishing our meal, we were pleasantly surprised with a slice of chocolate cake with«Happy Anniversary» nicely written on the white plate with chocolate sauce. This again, we could not stop eating. It was decadent with the perfect sweetness. We wanted to continue our evening with cocktails and decided to go up to their rooftop. What a magnificent view. We sat along the edge and got a panoramic view of the venue illuminated by the city and building lights. *Sigh* Overall, this was a night to remember. We will definitely be back. If you are looking for a romantic evening with delicious food, this is quite the spot. I was a very happy wife!
