Had dinner here recently and it was truly a treat. From the appetizer to dessert, each course was like opening a delightful new present for the palate.

One of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh! We had Vick and he seriously deserves a bonus or something cause his service was definitely above and beyond!

A truly scrumptious dining experience, as first timers to Spork and Pittsburgh! At the end of a very long day of vintage car racing @ Schenely, we retired to our Air Bn’B in search of food. To our delight and surprise we discovered Spork, a stone’s throw away and in the same building as our accommodations.The staff welcomed us with very short notice, no reservation and on a very busy night. What we liked. The kitchen is open to the dining area so it was quite the experience to see the chefs and sous chefs in action. The place was electric yet surprisingly intimate. The amuse-bouche were an added bonus and kept arriving between courses. The starters were beautifully plated and the size of mains, in other establishments. The entrees were perfectly prepared. I loved the fact that it was a truly garden to chef to table experience as we witnessed the staff prep fresh produce from the adjacent garden. We were not rushed out the door instead given the time, between courses, to savour and cleanse the palette. Despite being too full for dessert, the staff gifted us two exquisite hand made chocolates. All staff were highly trained in the art of food and service and the entire dining experience was exceptional and rare. I recommend Spork wholeheartedly.

I came in the day before Thanksgiving last year. They had a little complimentary tasting menu with delicious bites. The quail was very plump and flavorful. Most Pittsburgh restaurants I’ve been to are fairly good but this one really stands out! Cocktails were delicious and the staff was friendly. They even wrote a cute message on my to go box.

Had a really nice dinner here! Excellent staff. A little pricey. $25 for a non-dinner salad seems a little steep, but they served several nice inter-mezzo small bites and palette cleansers that have to be factored in to the cost. Cocktails were creative on paper, but were just average on my palette. Overall, recommended!

My husband and I’s absolute favorite place to have dinner. We have been to Spork many times but, by far, my favorite time was recently for my birthday. Vick was our awesome server and in addition to offering us complimentary champagne, he gave a birthday card that was hand-signed by the rest of the staff. It was such a lovely gesture and one that made my birthday dinner truly memorable. This is such a special place and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a unique, delicious and personal dining experience.

Overall, I was not impressed. The ambiance was not great – it was very loud and difficult to hear. We ordered the octopus and linguini small plates. The octopus was very over cooked and difficult to chew. The linguini was very very al dente. The flavor was great but the pasta should’ve been cooked a little longer. For $30 a piece, I expected these to be cooked better. We ordered a large plate of fried chicken and it was very delicious. If i had to go back, I would just get this. Service was great and we enjoyed the small plates between each meal, but doesn’t make me want to go back. For the price, I’d rather eat at Morcilla.

The small plates were good and creative, but I would expect better food given the price, especially entrees. Our wagyu eye taste no different than normal steak.

After getting past the snippy and unfriendly hostess we had a five star meal. Attentive service, creative cocktails/mocktails, and amazing food. Highlights included the Linquinie, creative chef plates, and the Spinalis.
