    We had two appetizers which were very good. The early dining menu was reasonably priced but the food was a little disappointing. My cod was overcooked, the potatoes that come with the steak frite were unappetizing and the lamb and short ribs were lacking in flavor. Service was excellent and overall for the price it was fine.

    The men had the lamb shank as part of the early bird special and both loved it. My husband brought a quarter home for his dinner tonight. My friend had the fried shrimp which she loved and I had the horseradish crusted Cod. I also ordered as an extra the appetizer of wedge salad which my husband and I loved. The only part of meal that was disappointing was the Brussels Sprouts. It was ordered by my friend who often cooks them at home with just olive oil and Salt and pepper. She thought that the prep of the Sprouts had a funny flavor. Otherwise I would have given a 5 star rating to the food.

    Very inconsistent. Usually one of our favs. Tonight just didn’t meet the usual level of great. Had the braised beef. Very bland. No flavor. Usually on point. Not tonight. Maybe different cooks. Or just a bad night. Even the salads were blah tonight. Pretty tough to make a bad salad. But it happened tonight. Dropped $130 for 2 people for below average meals. They need to do better.

    We had an awesome meal at SouthFork Grille last night. The food and service were outstanding!! We had the salmon, mahi mahi, and scallops all of which were well-prepared and delicious. We’ve been to this restaurant on multiple occasions and they never disappoint. Special shout out to Victoria for her patience, attention to detail and overall fantastic service!

    I ordered the short ribs lettuce wrap. When i received it i was shocked at how little meat that was in them. No a inexpensive lunch, i finished all three and was still hungry. Not sure if i would go back. Being in the restaurant business i felt the presentation could have been better with a side included. Friend had the fried cod and looked like the batter fried with old oil . Very dark in color.
