| - The vibe of Spork is quite strange. Lighter music with bass cranked up, so it made the venue a lot louder than is needed to be. We were seated next to the door (boo) and it was still loud. If you want to have a romantic dinner, forget it. More like a club vibe....
We ordered the goat cheese, crudo, mushrooms, pickled nectarine salad, and hay and straw pasta.
- The goat cheese with eggplant marmalade comes out first. It's pretty solid, the balsamic isn't too overwhelming.
- Pickled nectarine salad was interesting and bad. The fruit was all it really was, with a few pieces of greens. The pickled taste was overpowering.
- Mushrooms were bland. We like the variety of mushrooms to try, but there wasn't taste.
- Crudo was by far our favorite. The snapper was tasty and blended well with the pepper.
- Hay and straw pasta was good, a safe option of peas and prosciutto. Can't really go wrong with it.
Service was fine. They didn't give us new plates with the dishes. The plate is small, so that wasn't helpful. The mixing of flavors wasn't good, particularly with the crudo.
It was very average overall, not sure what they're trying to go for. Not in a hurry to go back.
