    I’m a regular at Gilded Fork, and this place never stops surprising me! Absolutely delicious food, fantastic drinks, and an atmosphere and service that are truly top-notch. I always have a great experience and keep coming back for more. The lunch menu is especially worth checking out – a great variety of options and an incredible deal. For just $25, you get a full meal, including dessert! Highly recommend Gilded Fork to everyone. Definitely one of my favorite spots!

    Hands down one of the best meals I’ve had this year. Appetizers and salad were incredible and the BBQ ribs were as delicious and tender as any I’ve had. My wife and I had a wonderful meal and both our waitress and bartender were kind and conversational. Will be back for sure and highly recommend for anyone looking for a dinner experience that feels a world away from the suburbs

    Delicious food, super slow service. Everything we had, especially the beef tartare, was soooo good. Unfortunately it took about an hour to receive our appetizers and two hours for dinner.

    Wines are limited to one red (Cabernet) and one white (Pinot Grigio). List needs to be upgraded for both quantity and quality. Cocktails were excellent. Pergois were outstanding.

    The 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed the food, which was perfectly cooked and delicious! We had the hummus starter, the ricotta appetizer, the desserts artisanal ice cream and the Karpatka pastry, and the entrees duck confit, bbq ribs, and lemon risotto. Among the best restaurant meals I have ever had. Also interesting cocktails. I look forward to my next visit.

    Wonderful food with great service high praise to their cocktails! The outside may be in a strip mall, but once you step inside, it has such a beautiful vibe and really high-quality food and service.

    This restaurant has potential but a lot is needed to improve the overall experience. On a busy Friday night there were only 2 servers. The servers were the hostess, the bartender and waiting tables. And not a manager on site helping. Our server was lovely but was inexperienced in managing multiple tables, keeping connected with customers, ensuring food is timely ( it took 2 hours + for dinner). The positive - The food was quite good; beautifully plated and delicious ( I had the lamb chops). But the wine line is limited and not good - so plan on cocktails. A few extra attention to details .. better table top decor, different bar stools ( they are cheap, tippy ) and adding to staff can go a long way.

    You walk in the door and you see someone making homemade pierogi and raviolio. The cocktails at this place are next level. The service was outstanding. The food was tremendous. We did not have one bad bite! Their pierogi is light and fluffy and so flavorful. I can’t say enough good things about this place —don’t be thrown off because it’s in a strip mall. Once you go inside and you feel like you having a European dining experience.
