Forked On Main - Orange

My husband took me here for an anniversary dinner. The restaurant is really cute and cozy. Service is decent. The calamari is delicious! Our entrees however were..interesting. My husband ordered the steak and we were surprised by the plating. His steak was cut in half and place on opposite sides of the plate. It was also super rare and the fat was not rendered. I’ve never seen a steak entree where your steak comes pre cut. It was just odd. Both times we have come here our entrees were bland and underwhelming. Would only come back for the appetizers and drinks. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Calamari

I wanted to add to my review from a more recent visit in which we both had the filet mignon and absolutely loved it. I haven't had many filets, so I'm not speaking as an expert on preparation, but as someone who loves beef, the flavor was amazing. I think it might have just been rubbed with salt and pepper, maybe something else too, or maybe it was marinated, but we both asked for medium rare and the doneness was perfect. The place was also very lively on a Friday night, which we enjoyed, and I had a new cocktail, the Smoky Highland, which was quite interesting and sweet (true to the rest of the cocktail menu). For our starter we shared the charcuterie board (Sorry, no picture), which was full of pleasant surprises and we ate it all up.

I Love Forked!!! Hands down, they have the best cocktails in and around Orange!!! The food is delicious and the staff are friendly. Can't wait to go back again.

I am very glad to see Forked on Main reopened again after closing for several months due to COVID and the pandemic. I stopped here for lunch with a friend and had the Grilled Salmon. It was delicious and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. As with all restaurants these days, more wait staff would have been nice, but the server we had was working hard and did a nice job. I look forward to returning again when visiting in Orange. This restaurant is a real asset to the community.
