It will be worth your while to take advantage of the Restaurant Week offerings at Fork & Plough. I had the ham and bean soup, Chicken Marsala, and Black Forest Torte. My wife had the pork belly, Fried Carolina Catfish, and Warm Butter Cake. All was done well and delicious!

First time eating here. Everything was great! Beautiful rooftop views of GVL, lovely winter scenes inside. Nice cocktail selection. I had It’s A Sassy One and it was perfect for me as I love a drink that is flavorful, yet has a lot of ice to last the whole meal, and this was it. We had delicious duck tacos for apps, I had the sablefish entree, my husband had the hanger steak….both great. The desserts were the best! Passion fruit tart and a dark chocolate/pistachio cheesecake. We will be back!

The biscuits for a cause were hot and tasty. My daughter loved the fried chicken and thought it was perfectly cooked. The fried green tomatoes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with delicious grits underneath. The service was quick and friendly! Great lunch!

Just shoot me...just when my foodie wife and I thought we had figured out our downtown gourmet foodie ranking (Gfr) we stumble into a new place that tweaks the palate and hoses it up. Larkin's is the new addition to our runway; Salmon (don't know how they get the crunch and internal temp so right), Trout (crispy skin, or not), and the au Gratin spuds were outf------g standing. All of it, service, greeting, attention, all the way around! Cliff
