(as the kids say) It was crowded despite being early evening. The only available seats were at the bar area near the windows, which was fine because we were determined to experience the "new" place. We ordered the tuna tartare and lobstah rolls. The accompanying chips are homemade (slightly salty, but my taste buds are really close together). The host was attentive and gave us the royal treatment. We put this gem back on rotation and we are definitely returning!!!

I once attended a special Pasta Dinner at Fork and Fire in Farmington, but until recently I had…read morenever visited to order off their normal menu. Fork and Fire has an upscale Gastropub sort of vibe and offers an eclectic menu. My family and I visited on a Sunday around lunch time. Fork and Fire only offered their Brunch Menu at the time, which I didn't know. I was in more of a lunch mood, but they let me order the Black and Burger off the later menu, which was very nice. Not all cheeseburgers feature melty slices. The Black and Blue Burger featured Crumbled Blue Cheese, Pickled Red Onions, Smoked Bacon and Chipotle Aioli, on Toasted Brioche. The burger was huge and well cooked. So juicy it dripped. A flavor bomb. I also ordered the famous Kitchen Sink wings for the table, along with a side of Blue Cheese AND Ranch. The wings were super juicy. Top Tier Juicy. But the outer texture was still appropriately crisp. The sauce was sweet and savory, with a little bit of heat. Great wings. And the side sauces were terrific too. Service was very good. The atmosphere was terrific. Everyone enjoyed their orders. 4.5 Stars

The booth and ambiance were nothing special, but we were given a plate full of apple slices that were sprinkled in cinnamon sugar (which was a nice touch), our waitress was fun and attentive and the food was very good. The menu offerings for breakfast were pretty basic and standard.. you won't find 6 kinds of pancakes or stuffed French toast here, but it's pretty clear that they have perfected their over-easy and other egg game. Hash browns can be the shredded, cubed or tater tot varieties and delicious. The gluten free bread the have was the best I've had (nice job!). Three of us had mimosas and they were delicious. Based on the number of diners waiting to get seated and the high quality of our meals, I'm willing to guess this restaurant is pretty consistent. I would definitely come to Ellie's again. Well done

The house-made chorizo is a standout, featuring a well-calibrated spice profile that avoids overpowering the other components. Menu Highlights: Mexican Scramble: A balanced combination served with traditional refried beans, rice, and corn tortillas. Chorizo Omelette: Well-executed and paired with seasoned home fries. Gluten-Free Accessibility: The restaurant maintains a superior selection of GF options rarely found in standard breakfast diners, including pancakes, French toast, and bread. The service and atmosphere are notably personal, mimicking a residential dining experience rather than a commercial one. This is a reliable destination for those requiring strict gluten-free protocols without sacrificing variety.

For coffee, I got the nitro cold brew with their seasonal cold foam, which was blackberry flavored. It was tasty but the ratio of coffee to foam was a bit off, with only about half the cup filled with coffee and the rest foam. You can either order at the counter and seat yourself in the little cafe area, or sit in the restaurant for full service. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

Our waiter Elijah had a cool vibe and was attentive. For drinks, I ordered their Valentine's Day special cocktail which was tasty and pretty. My boyfriend ordered a sour beer which he said was one of the best sours he's had. For appetizers, we ordered the flatbread which was spiced pumpkin, goat cheese and sage. It was so flavorful! I would definitely order again. We also ordered the Cajun tacos which were also very flavorful and good balance of flavors. Would also order again. For our entrees, I ordered the Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese with truffle fries. It was so delicious. I love that it was on sourdough bread and the cheddar cheese (I think it was cheddar) made every bite just so good. The fries were not the truffle that I was expecting. Instead of oil I think they used a seasoning so it was a little salty but I found that I couldn't stop eating them. My boyfriend ordered the bacon burger with pork belly and massive onion rings. He did say that he wish he ordered what I got and he said the pork belly was a little too crispy for his liking. Overall, I would recommend Five Corners Bistro. I can't wait to come back and try some more dishes!

The place was not crowded either day. We had mixed experiences with the food. The avocado toast came with very hard, unripe avocados. Please tell us you can't serve avocado toast at this time because you don't have edible avocados in the kitchen instead of sending me an inedible dish. Fruit salad had moldy fruit ( both days). I'm not recommending you not eat here. The place had a lot to offer but it's time to tighten things up a bit. Do give them a try. I'm hoping they will read this review and take positive action.

The market has a warm, lively atmosphere and feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly and efficient, even when it's busy. The food is excellent, with a great variety of fresh sandwiches, salads and an impressive selection of pastries that are hard to resist. The scones are perfectly baked-soft and puffy in the center with a crisp outer crust. The cookies are enormous and packed with chocolate chips. On my most recent visit, it was extremely busy and there was a bit of a wait for my latte, but it was well worth it. The vanilla latte was hot, flavorful and filled to the top-just the way I like it. Doro Marketplace continues to be a must-stop for me whenever I'm back in the area, and I always look forward to returning. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

Decent, added on tomatoes and pickled onions (both $0.75 additional each). The description said that the base (original total $9) for the build your own avocado toast had olive oil and lime on it but I honestly could not taste either. Not sure if they didn't add it or if it may have been mixed in with the mashed up avocado? If so I think it would be better if added on top. Had to put more salt and pepper on it but at least they had packets available to do so. Overall not bad but kinda overpriced (for example they had potato pancakes for $2.75/each?? And additional $1 for apple sauce and another $1 for sour cream? I think it would be better to have 3 pancakes with the add ons for all one charge). Service was good, basic cashier set up you pay before you eat, they serve your food to you w table numbers if you eat in and call out your name for drinks.
