Critic Reviews

The New York Times Critic's Pick 04/26/06

My first visit was sensational: the food was almost perfectly executed, the service helpful. - Peter Meehan

New York Magazine  

[The Good Fork] has personality and warmth, just like the eclectic food that comes out of the quasi-open kitchen. - Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Time Out New York  

This affordable, sophisticated Brooklyn restaurant - evocative of a first-class dining car with its glossy blond wood paneling - consistently packs in local...

The New Yorker 07/24/06

This pleasant little spot on the Van Brunt strip in Red Hook (halfway between the pioneering 360 and the brand-new Fairway, a surprisingly vibrant area, given that it sits well off the subway grid) - Andrea Thompson

The owners and I once cooked an enormous North Carolina BBQ feast for forty hungry Scots. I thought my Guinness-marinated cumin-infused ribs were something -- that is, until I had one of Sohui's burgers. Man oh man. Thanks to Ben's earthy design and deft carpentry, the space feels like an elegant restaurant car. Lots of warmth and good cheer, staffed by friendly locals. Best thing to happen to Red Hook since the pub quiz.

Small but very cute atmosphere. You really get the sense that the owners care, and that they're there every night. Our meal wasn't perfect but there were elements to it that were very good, e.g. I had the roasted chicken that was perfect. The accompanying mash potato was very good but the braised leek was pretty bad. Also, my dining companion ordered a drink that advertised being made with Plymouth gin, and we watched the bartender pour from a bottom of the line brand. All that being said, I'd like to go back.
