This was one of the BEST meals my wife and I have ever had. We decide to go to the Fork for Valentine’s night on the advice from many our friends. First we pulled up to this strip mall and did not think we had arrived but we had. We did not know what to expect when we walked in, but what we saw was a great little Bistro with art on the walls, a small unassuming bar and just clean, clean clean.



We looked and saw the Chef in his white jacket cooking away. Talking to the patrons and wishing us a happy Valentine’s Day through the kitchen window. We did not have reservations, shame on us, and they were full. The Chef’s wife Nancy handled the whole thing and set up a table for 2 in the corner and it was perfect.



Our server Danielle came over and introduced herself and took out drink order immediately. They have a decent wine list with some really good wines and a full bar. I also noticed a great beer selection of tap beers, all local micro brews. She left us with the specials for the day and we could not believe our eyes. Foie Gras, Chateaubriand, Rack of Lamb (local), Diver Scallops on top of a wheat berry risotto and much more. Finally, a French and Italian restaurant in the Worcester County area. Danielle came back with our drinks and then proceeded to explain, may I add, with a perfect description each of the items on the menu. My wife ordered the escargot, and I ordered the Foie Gras crème brulee to start



The escargot was set on top of a braised crimini mushroom cap and topped with garlic/brandy/parsley butter. This was just delightful but the Foie Gras brulee was simply amazing. The custard was full of Hudson Valley Foie Gras and it was served with herb crusted crostini. It melted in your mouth; I cannot truly describe how good this was.



Next we had the arugula/sautéed fennel salad. It was tossed with Turkish apricots, Marconi almonds from Spain, Westfield Farms goat cheese and a fresh Champagne vinegar from France (yes the Chef should us the bottle) poppy seed and lemon vinaigrette with a touch of citrus honey. Once again unbelievable.

Then our Entrée – reading as a baked stuff lobster for two was a 3 ½ pound lobster (that looked like 4) stuffed with another 1.5 pound lobster. The dish also had 4 giant shrimp and a bunch of steamers on the same plate with drawn butter. I can not describe the stuffing, it was something I have never had before, not bread, not crackers almost like a moist stuffing of a turkey but lobster. It was hands down the best stuffed lobster we have ever eaten.



We could not eat another bite. Then Danielle proceeded to tell us about the homemade desserts, by the Chef’s wife Nancy and his mother. We went home with a piece of Red Velvet cake which we eat a couple hours later, that was simply delectable. The cream cheese frosting was once again the best my wife or I has ever had.



This is a 5 star Bistro – Food, Service, Atmosphere . All great. Thank you Twisted Fork in making this the best Valentine’s ever.

This is one of the best kept secrets of Worcester county. It is a from scratch, organic, farm to table and local restaurant. We keep coming for not only the incredible food, and I mean incredible but also the service. The owner and his wife are always trying to say hello and make a difference, plus the show that the Chef puts on during Sunday morning breakfast is always worth coming for. We normaly get the Twisted Benny and the Lox Benny. We go for dinner as well and the food is incredible, local everything and the soups and specials are to die for. Check this place out I promise you will not be disappointed. We have also come in the middle of week and we have never seen a hostess but the service has always been great and who cares if you seat yourself as long as the food is great and you have fun. Great Bistro....

I used to enjoy going to this restaurant, it used to be the best breakfast spot around. Today I went there and ordered my usual..western omelet. When I got my omelet it was not cooked, the egg was runny and completely undercooked. I brought this to the attention of my waitress who offered to have them 'cook it more'. Once you have a runny egg omelet, it's over. What happened next is the reason that I will NEVER return is that the waitress never told the owner and when she brought me my bill, I was still charged for the omelet that I never ate. It's unfortunate that this happened, but will not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends. That decision the waitress made was in poor taste and unethical. I am sure they have enough followers and won't be saddened by the fact that I will never return, but word of mouth travels fast..

I am truly sorry for you position on this. I can see you have been coming for a long time and have enjoyed the restaurant. So why would you just through in the towel that fast. Eveyone has a bad day. Maybe the server was or maybe I was as well. This is truly no excuse but as I know you are aware no one can be perfect. I always give someone a second chance just for that reason, especialy if their is a good track record, and I hope you do as well. You are correct I did not know that a problem happened. So with this I apologize as well as you should not have paid. If I was aware of this it would not have happened. I would love to have you back so I can take care of this oversite. I always take calls and respect feedback. It only makes use better. Regards, Chef Jay
