    Restaurant interior with live jazz
    Dane R.

    I've visited Forke three times -- two dinners and one brunch -- so this review reflects some context rather than a single visit. The rating here is primarily based on the dinner experience during this visit, which ended up being the strongest overall experience I've had here so far. For context, their brunch is also worth mentioning. The Croque Madame is excellent and easily one of the better brunch dishes I've had locally. Brunch and dinner feel like somewhat different experiences here, though, so this review focuses on the dinner menu and service. The atmosphere that evening added to the experience. A live jazz band was performing in the dining room, creating a lively but relaxed energy without overwhelming conversation. The restaurant also includes a speakeasy-style bar area tucked into the space, which gives the layout a bit more character than a typical neighborhood bistro. What Forke does particularly well is maintain attentive hospitality while operating with a relatively small dining room team. In many restaurants at this scale, limited staffing leads to uneven pacing or slow service. Here, the staff managed the room smoothly while keeping courses moving at a comfortable pace. The escargot showed the kitchen's technical approach. The snails had the correct firm-tender texture. At first the seasoning seemed slightly light, but it became clear that the issue was less about seasoning and more about how escargot behaves in the shell. Much of the garlic butter remains inside the shell rather than coating the snail evenly once removed. When the remaining sauce was poured over the bread, the flavor was actually quite pronounced. One escargot proved difficult to remove from the shell, and the staff immediately took the plate back to crack the shell and return it properly. Small moments like that often reveal whether service is merely functional or genuinely attentive. The duck confit reinforced the sense that the kitchen understands the fundamentals of the dish. The skin had the crispness expected from a properly finished confit, and the meat showed the range of textures typical of the preparation -- some sections deeply tender, others slightly firmer but still rich from the slow cooking process. The sauce leaned slightly sweet, which initially felt light relative to the potatoes, but when eaten together with the green beans and shallots the dish balanced out well. Dessert was a lemon tart topped with fruit and meringue. Once the fruit was eaten separately, the structure of the dessert became clearer. The filling was silky and dense, somewhere between a curd and a custard, with acidity that remained bright without being overly sharp. The meringue softened the tartness without muting it. Service ultimately distinguished the evening. Despite a small team, water was refilled without prompting, pacing between courses was handled well, and the server checked in at appropriate moments without interrupting the meal. The owner was also present greeting guests and checking on tables, creating a sense that the restaurant is actively engaged with the dining room. The staff were also accommodating about seating. When asked where I would prefer to sit, I mentioned that I was dining with my service dog and would appreciate a cooler spot with better airflow. The owner helped arrange a table in an area with a stronger draft, which made the space noticeably more comfortable. In comparison with other local French bistros I've visited, the service here felt particularly proactive. Many restaurants are efficient and polite, but fewer actively monitor the table and step in quickly when small issues arise. There were minor imperfections. The bread service at the beginning could be improved -- the bread became dry fairly quickly and the butter was too cold to spread easily. In a French-style restaurant, bread often signals early execution, so it stood out. Taken together, the meal demonstrated a kitchen that understands its fundamentals and a dining room that pays close attention to its guests. While there were small technical imperfections, the combination of thoughtful cooking, generous portions, attentive service, and an engaging atmosphere created a well-rounded dining experience. Based on this dinner visit, Forke earns five stars.

    Great food and service. The restaurant is a hidden gem and we loved the interior. Checked out the speakeasy with a drink in hand, great area to unwind before or after dinner. My fave cocktail was forke me long time (vodka based) They change their menu depends on the season and ingredients available. The caprese tastes so fresh. The seared salmon has that crispy skin that you want more of. The duck steak is a must try. The best we ever had. The lemon tart is a perfect ending to a great meal Kudos to Jerome and Chef Miguel. Congratulations on your new restaurant

    Forke has been doing a lot of advertising on Facebook, and I decided to give this new place a try. I went last night for a 5:15 reservation but got there just after 5. I was shown to an area nearer the bar toward the back and was able to choose any table I wanted. I chose the one in the cortner. Soon a server came by, introduced himself, asked my name, and then filled my water glass and asked about anything else to drink. I then was given a menu. It was then that I knew I had a problem. The area I was in is very dark, so dark in fact that I could discern no printing on the pages of the menu. I was the old man who had to use the camera flashlight to be able to read the menu. I first saw the Gourmand menu, a prix fixe menu with some choices for each course. I glanced at the à la carte section but I didn't spend much time trying to read it while holding my phone. Instead, I decided to have the prix fixe Gourmand dinner. For the first course, I chose the escargots. The menu said they were in the shell, but in fact, they were not. They were in a standard escargots dish which was fine with me.l They were large, tasty gems and the garlic, parsley butter enhanced my enjoyment of them. For the main course, I chose Beef Bourguignon. My server poured the sauce over the ingredients of the bowl. He left a small pitcher with some suace if i wanted more. The broth was rich and very flavorful! Now, if I could have seen the dish, it would have enhanced my enjoyment of the Bourguignon as seeing your food is a part of enjoying your food. But, alas, I could not see except that there was a bowl on the table. For dessert, I got the raspberry doughnut cheesecake. Despite its name, it was a good cheesecake but had no obvious link to doughnuts. Perhaps the crust was made from crushed dougnnuts. There were two swirls of syrup on the plate and a sliced strawberry (no raspberries as one would expect.) In sum, the dinner was very good. The restaurant is somewhat in two sections. The entrance where the host stand is and a rear section where the bar is. The rear is UNCOMFORTABLY dark. I would recommend getting a table in the front section where there's a ball chandelier. When the bill came, on with the flashlight again., After a short wait with my credit card in the bill tray, my server brought a table paying machine. It listed the total and had 3 tip amounts plus a custom one on the lighted (at last) screen. I chose the tip and tapped the reader. Nothing happened. Eventually, I figured out that you have to insert your card in a slot on the front of the unit. The charge went through and it printed a long receipt. It was only when I got home that I realized that the sheet expelled from the machine was a receipt for me and one for the restaurant with a place for my signature all in one long strip of thin paper. (If you want your receipt and my signature, I still have the sheet!) If Yelp and a half star system, I would give this 3.5 stars. I have made it four. Service was excellent and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. And, the food reminded me of the Beef Bourguignon I had at Le Train Bleu in Paris. But, something needs to be done with the lighting. It is unacceptable the weay it is. My apologies for my photos. Al were taken with the flash. If not, you would see nothing. When I got home I was able to view my entrée.

    Seabass was top notch

    I've always appreciated when new restaurants breathe life into older neighborhoods, and Forke is a great example of that quiet revitalization. We brought an out‑of‑state couple here for an off‑Strip dining experience, and while we weren't exactly surprised, we certainly weren't disappointed either. The food was on point across all four courses, and the service felt sincere and genuinely warm, even if the team is still ironing out a few wrinkles. The only real hiccup was a slightly slow kitchen during the evening rush, but that's the kind of growing pain I fully expect them to smooth out as the restaurant finds its rhythm. The space itself is fascinating. It feels like a former wedding venue or event hall that's been thoughtfully transformed into a stylish, modern dining room. There's a discreet bar tucked away in the back, and rumor has it there's also a speakeasy hidden somewhere--possibly behind the prominent bookshelf I noticed along the wall. It adds a sense of playful mystery to the whole experience. Five stars for the effort and for delivering unfussy, focused dining without pretense. Entrées were priced surprisingly reasonably for this day and age, and the quality of the ingredients really shone through. Highly recommended--even for tourists staying on the Strip. It's not far, it's far more affordable than the mega‑resort options, and it offers a refreshing change of pace from the usual Vegas dining circuit.

    Beef Tartar

    If you love authentic French food... you MUST visit Forke. There is something for everyone here and each bite takes your taste buds on a mini vacation all the way to France! We met with the owner Jerome who walked us through which family member contributed to what recipe (you gotta have his moms's crème brûlée!). Support a locally owned family business. It's worth it!!

    Perfect new location for date night. Customer service and food was 10 out of 10. Had the chance to meet the owner and his son, who was working that night. Lots of young professional staff members were very kind and great at what they do. Our waiter was great too. The hostess showed us the speakeasy upon entering, who doesn't love a secret speakeasy? The food was great from start to finish. The Caesar salad, oysters, sea bass, lobster tail, and mashed potatoes were all 10/10. Definitely try this new local restaurant, you won't be disappointed. The drinks were delicious too.

    Peppercorns

    Dear FORKE Team, As longtime Las Vegas locals and enthusiastic supporters of new restaurants, we were genuinely excited to dine with you on a recent Saturday evening. The abundance of five-star reviews made us even more eager to experience what everyone was raving about. Because you've only been open three weeks, we want to share this feedback constructively in the hope that it helps you refine operations and ultimately succeed in a very competitive dining city. Unfortunately, our experience did not reflect the level suggested by those reviews. We were seated directly by the front door, which did not fully close, making the table uncomfortably cold. When we politely asked to move to one of the visibly open tables, we were told no. It then took approximately 20 minutes for anyone to greet us and take our drink order. A small basket of sliced bread was delivered, but no bread plates were provided, so we awkwardly ate over the table itself. Small details like this matter, especially at a steakhouse price point. Our drinks arrived about 20 minutes later -- nearly 40 minutes after being seated. The lychee martini was flavorful but noticeably underfilled. The mule lacked the expected ginger beer bite and tasted flat. Throughout the evening, water refills and follow-up check-ins were slow. To be clear, our server was polite and consistently apologetic -- not just to us, but to multiple tables. We observed him apologizing repeatedly throughout the dining room. When we asked whether you were understaffed, he shared that you were fully staffed, which made the service delays more concerning. The crab cake appetizer was deeply disappointing. It appeared heavily breaded and deep-fried in oil, and we genuinely struggled to find any crab inside (photos attached). We appreciated that it was removed from the bill. For entrées, the foie gras burger was described as "decent." The steak au poivre was cooked to the correct medium rare temperature, which we appreciated. However, it was covered with an overwhelming amount of whole peppercorns -- enough to dominate the dish and make it difficult to finish. Perhaps most concerning was that both tables seated beside us were also dissatisfied -- one guest disputing a non-itemized bill and another table complaining about food quality and wait times. Hearing similar feedback around us made us question how our experience aligned with the overwhelmingly positive reviews we had read. We fully understand that new restaurants have growing pains. However, in Las Vegas, consistency, pacing, and execution are everything -- especially at this price point. We truly hope you take this experience into consideration so that you can refine operations and build a reputation that reflects the promise suggested by those early five-star reviews. We want new local restaurants to succeed. We hope you tighten service flow, bar execution, and kitchen balance so that future guests experience what we were hoping for.

    Beef Bourguignon

    This place is definitely worth visiting! The speakeasy was such a cool spot to just sit with a nice ambiance and is perfect for a drink or 2 before food (which the drinks are full, flavorful and decently strong) The servers give you recommendations based on their personal favorites, and I ended up going for the Beef Bourguignon. This dish was absolutely exquisite! Rich and complex in flavor, enough to be get full off it alone without feeling sluggish, and almost makes you slow down to enjoy it longer! The recipe is apparently a family one, and it shows! Overall 10/10! Would for sure give this place a shot if you're looking for a hidden local gem or find yourself wanting something a bit different from our Americanized pallets!

    Chocolate torte
    Eliana F.

    These guys are brand new! Trying to get a following serving "French-American" cuisine aka, French dishes with American size portions. We started off with a quick tour of the speakeasy, which I think could be a fun place for a Happy Hour when they're in full flow. We tried some "truffle fries": potato "chips" with truffle oil, delicious. For the meal, we tried a selection of traditional French favorites: Caesar salad and beef tartare for a starter, then steak au poivre, steak frites, surf and turf, and duck "steak". All tasted great and presented beautifully! For dessert we tried the classic crème brûlée, a cheesecake and our friend got a free chocolate torte for her birthday. They also gifted us free blue cocktails, which was well appreciated! I have a few comments however, which I hope they will find constructive : a sharper steak knife would be helpful for those who ordered the meat. Also I noticed a few romaine leaves in my Caesar salad were wilting a bit. I've recently had a problem at a different restaurant in Vegas where they served Caesar salad with a dressing that didn't contain anchovies, so glad to say that this one absolutely did! You really need anchovies to carry some umami into the dressing, glad to take note of that. We can safely say that we will be back, especially with "coming soon" dishes such as boeuf Bourgignon and Tarte Tatin Good luck to Forke!

    Supreme Chicken

    I went to Forke last night for dinner. I sat at the bar and had a lovely conversation with the owner and waiter. I ordered the Parisian Jewel, Supreme Chicken and Baba au rhum. The Parisian Jewel was well balanced cocktail and would recommend even if you're not a gin drinker. The Supreme Chicken came out perfectly cooked with the veg tender, but not mushy and seasoned perfectly. The Babu au rhum is something I have never seen before and was delightful. I can attest that this is a boozy dessert, but still lovely. I would recommend and this will go on my rotation of restaurants. I am looking forward to checking out brunch.

    What an awesome spot! Went on a busy Saturday night and was lucky to snag a couple seats at the…read morebar. Chris, our bartender, really took care of us. Took the time to explain their process for making the ingredients used in their cocktails. Walked us through everything as he made our drinks. Cocktails were fabulous! In addition to the drinks, the atmosphere and concept is really cool. It's an immersive space with some jungle animation happening behind the bar. And to add to it all, the service was top notch. Next time you're in the arts district of Las Vegas, stop in and check them out. I'm not sure if reservations are required so check on that beforehand. Don't miss this spot!

    The atmosphere at Prowl is really cool. It is so nicely designed and they have a great use of…read morephysical decor and animations on TV to really create the feeling that you're in a jungle environment. Our waitress was super friendly and really encouraged us to try some things because we really weren't sure about the menu. She was super attentive and we really appreciated that. The reason I'm giving this a three star review (and I feel bad doing so) is because I genuinely hated the drinks. Like viscerally hated. The menu really was a struggle as someone who's a gin drinker. There wasn't a lot on the menu which I'm often used to, but the drinks were either cloyingly sweet or incredibly tart and bitter. There seems to lack of balance and there were a lot of really weird flavors that really didn't seem to go together. Now I can't speak on every single drink on the menu, but I did try a couple that are either premixed or on tap and I really struggled with them. I was excited about the ginger drink, and I was given a taste of their homemade ginger beer, and it felt like it was going to burn a hole through my stomach. Which is typically not my reaction to anything gender flavored. I just think the balance of flavors are not quite right and so certain things overpowered other flavors. I ended up really not wanting anything on the menu because everything was so rum based and I really don't like rum, so they offered to make me a cocktail with some flavors that I liked. They told me they had passionfruit, which I was really excited about. It usually is a really nice combination of sweet but not too sweet and good fruity flavor. I had a passionfruit gin drink made, and it was absolutely gorgeous coming out. Unfortunately, what I didn't know was that the passionfruit that they have is on the very sour and tart side (contained by a staff member later), which has never been my experience with passionfruit in the past. One of the things that I told the waitress was that I really don't like sour. I like citrus but not something that is so overly sour that it tastes like I'm eating a warhead. And the drink that was made for me had both lemon and this really tart passionfruit to the point all I could taste was this awful sour flavor. I felt bad and drank it and was not about to ask it off the bill because they were so kind about everything. The drink ended up only being nine dollars and I genuinely wonder if they undercharged me, but I felt a lot better that that's all I paid for it. Aesthetically it was beautiful, but it tasted horrible. I tried my friends drink, which was a play on a margarita with Mezcal, and that was also incredibly bitter and sour. I'm not someone who needs disgustingly sweet drinks, hence me not liking rum, but I do need a balance of sweetness with the other flavors. My friend thought her drink was OK, but she said she wouldn't order it again. I would definitely give this location another shot if I could figure out a drink that would work, but it seems their drinks either are very sour or very sweet and I'm hoping that at some point they will be able to find a good balance between the two.

    My absolute favorite bar of all time! 1000000000000000/10!!!…read more I could live at Dark Sister!!! It is my go to place to hang out with the girls on a night out! If I am in the arts district, I am at Dark Sister (if they're open... sometimes I'm there in the day and they are not open yet and I am sad. lol) It's moody, it's witchy, it's got all the Goth eclectic goodness! I love how it is decorated!!! It's giving dark academia, mixed with a séances, sprinkle in a little bit of dried flowers and top it with a tarot card. They have such a variety of seating, they have large loungey couches in the front, smaller couches with chairs and tables as you go inside, long and larger tables for larger groups in the back, a massive bar area with seating, as well as a gorgeous patio with bar seating as well as tables and loungey bench areas. It is comfy, cozy, and an amazing place to just chill and hang out. The music is always perfect. The lighting is the perfect dark dim. I have never felt more at home somewhere in my life. It is my happy place. It doesn't matter what I'm doing. If I go there it makes me happy! I absolutely love that they have a mocktail menu and that they rotate the drinks every season. I don't drink and also a lot of my friends don't either and their mocktail menu is a winner every single time, I've never had a drink there that I did not enjoy. Honestly, I would love if they had more mocktail options than they already do. I'm really glad that they added snacks!! Their snack tray is amazing I get it almost every time I'm there. The only thing I would like is for there to be more variety of snacks! I do love the chocolate covered espresso beans but somehow, I am the one that ends up finishing them and then I don't sleep... which is definitely a me problem but like... they're addictive man... we need something else chocolate, like, of course keep the chocolate covered espresso beans, but like maybe chocolate covered raisins or chocolate covered berries? If you guys added a charcuterie board... take our money!!! My friends, and I would never leave, Take all our money!! Like a witchy charcuterie board!! I absolutely love that they have an outdoor patio now!!! It is stunning! Being witchy in the fall is going to be amazing there!!! I've been going there since they opened and from the moment I walked in I was in love. I have watched as this bar has continued to grow, and it only gets better with age. I adore the staff, they are so sweet! They have always been nothing but kind and caring. If something is going down outside, they are locking us in and keeping us safe. I was there one time when there was a shooting going on outside and they immediately locked the doors until it was safe for us to leave. I appreciate how much they take safety seriously! I really love that every single time I go there it seems that they have added something new to make it an even more fun experience! They have a lot of really awesome places to take photos! Definitely cute place to have a girly witchy photo shoot! They do a lot of of events and classes, I haven't been able to go down for one of their events/classes yet, but I'm really dying to go take one of the crafty witchy classes! I love that they're not only a bar, but they're also trying to build community! Dark Sister is absolutely perfect. PERFECT. It is all I have ever wanted and more in a space. I will continue being a happy loyal customer for as long as we both shall live. Thank you, Dark Sister for existing... and making my life complete.

    Great place! We were there on first Friday which was also 4th of July weekend and the 4 of us were…read moreable to get a table outside (it was pretty full inside). The outside patio was covered and had a 2nd bar out there which was very nice. Once we sat down, someone came over to let us know to order at the bar. Once we ordered, we got our drinks very quickly. I can't remember what I got, but 1 of my friends got the spicy drink that comes in a skull glass with 2 peppers to look like horns, loved the presentation! We had great service from the hostess to the bartender! There was a place across the way playing live music, so that was nice in the space. Not sure if we could hear music out there without it. I thought the prices were pretty average for a bar downtown. We also gave the photo booth a try inside and came away with 2 great strips. Great place to stop in for a drink!

    Pro: Fear and Loathing menu, updated furniture, yummy drinks…read more Con: Not the previous Laundry Room you remembered, glorified tourist trap, lack of atmosphere control. Slow drink service. The Laundry Room is dead, long live the Laundry Room. The remodel that took place during Jan to May 2026 saw a wide amount of change from Corner Management, the mother company of LR. They got rid of the absolute corner stone of the lead bartender, Anthony, and redecorated the place to look more like the sister bar, Doberman Drawing Room (5 Stars). The remodel was absolutely needed, as the regulars and Dean's List could point out, the place was kind of falling apart. From water warped bar top, uncomfortable chairs, and chipped paint/worned carpet, you would think this place WAS left over from the Prohibition era. What sets this establishment apart from any of the pretend speakeasy on the strip is the atmosphere. At any given time, you could cram 16 people there at a time, even with the reduced drinking time cut from 2 hours to 90 minutes, this place could only cycle thru 50 to 60 people from the reduced nightly opening of 4 hours from 6 hours previously. This make LR special, not some faux speakeasy in Cosmo or Resort World that could jam in 80 people per hour with room to spare. Gone is the rugged identity of the old laundry room for El Cortez, this is spiced up, every square inch of the wall is covered with some art piece, very much different from the Depression era decor. Some art selection are just straight up chaos from the management, the main cherub piece behind the bar is just insanity. The new master of house, Davey, showed skills with his new 14 drink menu, but fell short of what made LR great in the past 14 years. Now, the man had just two months to create his drink list and per himself, had to start from the scratch from when he took over.. So, with that said, let's focus on the drinks. Hemingway Dalguiri, Dust + Ether, and High Noon Static - all great in taste, presentation, and talent, abet we can see the hesitation when making his own drinks, thus slowing down service by quite a bit. My party saw him struggle making 6 drinks at once, 4 of them the same drinks. Recommendation from someone else, maybe record the drink making process and try to eliminate non productive habits and motions via video viewing. Since Davey is a visionary, looking in the past is a deal breaker for him. If you are trying to finish up a previous menu for the Dean's List, the joke is on you, that is a no. Where the hostess (the only person that survived the purge from the remodel) explained to him that exception needs to happen to keep the Dean's List going, the answer was a no since no one at management told him about this. When asked about what will the new requirements will be for the future, it's simple, finish the menu before it's replaced with no chance of catching up. Once a menu is done, it's done. I guess it's easier to keep the drinks under control with less ingrediencies needed behind the bar, but wait a minute... drink number 15, Research and Development, that should give Davey some leeway to non menu drinks right? Turns out, not so much. Sidecar- cognac, orange liqueur, lemon juice. Simple right? He leaves the room to get something from Commonwealth... didn't management installed a new fridge to hold the larger ice cubes, where previous bar keep have to venture out all the time? Turns out, there was no Cognac or any Brandy in the Laundry Room. I can see how things are shaped, strict bottle control is for the benefit of the bar, not for the customer. There is now Vodka, foam, and milk wash but lost Cognac or Brandy, but besides the freedom of choices were also compounded with complete lack of rules. For the last 14 years, the hostess and bar staff on rotation were friendly yet firm about house rules. First given upon entering the secret or window doors, then by the bartender after an aperitif is given (now eliminated). No photo, religion, politic, standing at the bar, name dropping, brawling, telephone calls, PDA, and smoking, plus don't be creepy, be patient, and know your limit. Most of these were not enforced the first 2 times my party of regulars have visited since the remodel. The cardinal sin of allowing one single 4 top to seat 2 people at a time is just wild. But hey, no rules are listed on the new simple menu and none giving at the door or at the seats. So what is this place now? 20 to 23 dollars for a drink plus more for popcorn. All for the experience of being in a noise warfare between Commonwealth and La Mona Rosa's speaker systems, with LR's own music turned up high, and the piano only used one night of the week. I would recommend Doberman Drawing Room as of now for better drinks options, less noise, and vibe. The new menu to replace Fear and Laundry will come out this Fall, will be bring some regulars with me to check on LR again and hopefully give more than 2 stars on the next review.

    Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 This was my second time here and it was less busy than the first time I came. I feel like this place can be easily missed since the building is all black, but definitely worth stopping in for. Vibes are very dark and intimate, yet lively. I am not sure how to explain it, but I liked it. Lol Somehow you can make a reservation, but I haven't looked into it. There were a bunch of seating against the wall on the couches but they were all reserved. My friend and I ended up at the bar in the "standing room" which was fine! Their seasonal menu is Conspiracy Theory based. I from that menu and my drink was called the Moon Landing Hoax, which was recommended to me but pretty strong in my opinion. I will say that the aesthetic of the drink was super cool with the astronaut. My friend ordered from their regular menu. She enjoyed her Repo Espresso Martini and she would order that again! All in all, I still like this bar a lot! I would come back again.

    So glad I finally made it in! We were trying to kill some time between activities and we decided to…read morepop in for a drink. We were sat at a super cute table (there were 4 of us) and looked through the menu. The decor was super cute! Sort of old vintage looking couches around some tables, dim lighting, I loved the vibe. We each ordered something different from their cocktail menu from our very nice server. While waiting for those, our friend went to close out the tab and ordered shots, but asked for something that would be good. They proceeded to give us something with muddled strawberries, I was blown away at how good it was! Best shot I have ever had, so fresh. I love when you give bartenders freedom to play and create something so good! Our cocktails were so interesting and very tasty. I'd love to come back when we have some more time and try some of the other drinks. Everything about this place was amazing to me! Vibe, staff, the drinks, I had a great time!
