    Unfortunately, this is the second time in as many months that I've been disappointed by the service and the food at Blue Fork. It began with the service, it took approx. 25 min for our first drink to arrive and a server to take our order. They appear to be staffed properly, but in the cluster of high tops we were seated in; each table experienced virtually the same level of slow service. We were there for an hour before our food was delivered. On both occasions those that I was dining with ordered grits, each time they were served cold. My dish was luke warm at best and on each occasion we had a conversation as to send it back or eat. And due to the painfully slow turn time between ordering and actually being served we chose to eat. We did notify the server and they offered to take it back....but at this point we are an hr plus into a dining experience that should have been wrapped up in an hour. Its disappointed because this is clearly a trend in my experience with Blue Fork, even more so when you realize that the menu is interesting and the flavors are solid....but you can't get the food timely or at a temp that really showcases the flavors displayed on the menu. Not sure that I'll be back...at least not for some time. Hopefully they address these things.

    Always great food and awesome staff at the Blue Fork. Just wish they would get the pasta making machine fixed and offer more pasta options. AND bring back the Pot Stickers!

    "Kaylyn was absolutely FANTASTIC! Her knowledge, positive attitude, and attention to detail made our experience amazing. Yealin was also wonderful—both ladies truly rocked it! Exceptional service all around. We’ll definitely be back.

    They were out of salmon chowder, but promised they would get more. The other soups in the salmon flight were excellent. The medium-rare burger we ordered came to us charred to a crisp, but they gave us a new one in five minutes. Service was excellent, the food we had: SO GOOD!
