| - Came here last night for a special occasion dinner after having had my eye on Spork for a while on my commutes to and from work, and man, we weren't disappointed. Our waiter recommended that we stick with 2-3 small plates per person, so we ordered 5 in total: one off the tapas menu (eggplant croquettes, so freaking good), two bites (merguez sausage and scallops), one pasta (smoked brisket ravioli), and one item off of the "composed" list (braciola). Everything we ordered was not only delicious, but also seasonal, so we availed of a variety of earthy flavors (think butternut squash, sage, currants, mushrooms, citrus accents). I was impressed with the size of the portions--between the two of us, we weren't able to finish our 5th plate. They also did a great job of staggering the plates so we had the feeling of a well-timed multi-course dinner. We had started with some house cocktails (pretty good, but the star of the show was the food) and ended with espresso. The ambiance is beautiful (also, they do give you an actual spork along with the rest of your silverware--pretty cute, guys). Overall, I can't wait to go back to try another seasonal menu.
