| - We had a really nice meal at Spork over the weekend, and we had been looking forward to it for a couple of weeks. I was so happy that the place settings all actually included sporks, which I think I can get behind. The place is beautiful and the light fixtures are gorgeous. The food was great----I was very impressed by the smoked trout ravioli and the shared plates that we had. I do, however, have a gripe about the shared plates---I am always annoyed when there are just 3 or something----and almost all of our appetizers came with just 3. I would rather see 4 or even 2---I think 3 is an annoying number to share. Our server was very nice, though maybe a bit timid and not extremely attentive. When two couples make plans for dinner, and one hires a babysitter, and they take Lyft to go out for an evening, they are hoping for a long dinner with lots of food and drink. We had to call our server over at one point to order more drinks---we each had two apiece when we might have ordered three or four. One member of our party had an empty drink for almost half an hour before we got our server's attention. We would have gotten dessert, but we actually felt that the server was not extremely interested in us ordering anything more. As I said, he was nice, but just not very attentive, which was a shame because we thought we would spend more money. As it happened, we went somewhere else after and had more drinks and desserts. This may have been an off night for the server, though, so it will not put us off of returning. We will be back.
