| - My wife and I finally got the opportunity to visit Fourk which is located in the old Matchworks building. We stopped in for a late lunch/ early supper this afternoon.
We each enjoyed a cocktail until I got the bill. I noticed that they charged me $1.50 for ice in my whiskey. Now I don't object to paying for the drink, because it was within reason, but what I think is a little tacky is to itemize the drink and the extra charge for the ice which really came down to 30 cents a cube!! My wife had a gin and tonic and it came with olives and ice, and she was not charged extra. We both got ice waters with ice in them so I don't see the purpose of charging extra for ice, perhaps the owners could explain this tactic. I just think this is a bad PR move for this restaurant. I have been to other restaurants which have the same policy of charging extra for ice in your cocktail and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe I will start ordering my whiskey neat.
Sorry for the rant, I'll move on, but I had to get that off my chest.
Our waitress, Virginia, was really nice and friendly and provided quick service and checked on us several times to make sure everything was to our liking.
My wife ordered the special - a half a rack of ribs and a choice of a side which was mashed redskin potatoes (see photo). She loved both of her choices. The ribs were meaty and seasoned very well. The redskin potatoes were very tasty. There was enough left to take home some ribs and potatoes.
I ordered the beer cheese onion burger that I ordered medium with a side of the redskin mashed potatoes ( see photo). I was a little disappointed with the burger. The beef was done perfectly. The beer cheese sauce was a little runny to say the least, it was more like a soup than a sauce and had saturated both the top and bottom bun so I opted to use a knife and fork to eat the burger. The onions were almost non-existent, they might have been there but I did not taste any of them. The dish was not a catastrophe, it just needs some refinements, as it was tasty, but just difficult to eat.
All in all the lunch was ok and I plan on going back there soon because they are in the process of reworking their menu and half of the menu items were not available. I am glad to see that they are working on there menu items. To me it shows that they care and want to provide the best for their patrons. I am looking forward to coming back.
