Review content:
We tried Knife and Fork this weekend. Nice atmosphere and great wine and beer lists. The food was just average, and if you factor in the price of the food, then I would say it was below average. There was complimentary bread, which I thought was horrible, dry tasteless bread. Perhaps it was some type of ethnic bread. I didn't care for it, nor did my date. We also received a small dish of complimentary soup/tea. It was some type of tea/tomato mix, I thought that was bad too. I could not even get it down, and I eat and usually enjoy everything. We started out with the Quail/date dish. I think it was $14 and it was about the size of a chicken wing. It was ok. Nothing special. I had the short ribs, which had the same sauce as the quail, and was at least half grizzle. I know short ribs are fatty, but it truly was excessive. My date had the Skate. Her dinner was better than mine, but very basic and bland. One app, two dinners, 2 beers, and 2 glasses of wine came to a hundred bucks. I'm don't mind spending that much on a meal, but I do get upset when the food is less than average. Atmosphere is nice and service was fine, I just think for the money (~$28 entree's), the food could be a lot better. Bottom line, the east village is full of great restaurants with better food at almost half the price. As quaint as it was, chances are slim that we will ever go back to this restaurant. I wouldn't recommend it.
Pros: atmosphere, wine list
Cons: food, bread, light from the kitchen
