    We were running a bit late due to a storm that had passed through in our area. We called and said we were running late. The staff was quick to tell us no problem to drive safely. We were seated promptly even still after arriving 15 mins late . Service and food was top notch. Enjoyed everything. We will definitely be back again. Thank you Fork staff and chefs for allowing me a great Valentines dinner with my wife.

    First, you can't beat the ambience of this 4-masted sailing ship turned restaurant built in 1904 docked on the Delaware waterfront in Philadelpha. Add to that superb cuisine and service and it made for a memorable Valentine's Day dinner (a day late), Baked brie appetizer was excellent and large enough to share. My wife's scallops and my Alaska halibut were similarly outstanding. We both enjoyed the 2019 Mosel region Riesling that went well with dinner. To top it off, our server was one of the best ever. The Moshulu is not cheap but not outrageous, especially for the quality. If you drive there, parking is $20.

    Perfect Valentine’s dinner. Service was incredible, always there when needed yet had plenty of privacy. We had a table outside which was beautiful and felt magical. The heaters made it feel cozy and they also provided blankets for our laps. Started with the cheese board which was delicious. A wide variety of cheeses all that were balanced in flavor and texture. I then had the salmon that was perfectly cooked, crispy skin with tender meat underneath. My husband had the pork belly which he thoroughly enjoyed. The cocktail (I had the Sicilian with vodka) was expertly prepare and my glass of Chardonnay at dinner was also very good. We have been to Talula’s Garden many times and have also had wonderful meals and service. One of my favorite restaurants in the city.

    Bit disappointed with the menu, given that Italian is part of the menu, but limited selection. Blacken Salmon was very good. Night brought more customers, but bartender doubled as our server, which he did a great job. Would return in better weather to enjoy the outside view.
