III Forks

First time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint!! We Had the red fish,the surf & turf(lobster/filet)...very, very good. Tried the chicken fried lobster as an appetizer. Amazing!!

UPDATE 4/10/2024 ———————————— Food, service, and ambiance- right on point for this (and all other previous) visits. We were welcomed at the hostess desk by Cameron. She asked us if we were celebrating anything special and I told her that every year on April 10th my Mom and I commemorate my Dad's life at what were - at some point in time - his favorite restaurants. I am so glad we chose III Forks because we were truly looked after very well by our server Andrew. We thought he was delightful. He hasn't completed one year, and yet he was extremely knowledgeable about the Menu. He was engaging, attentive, and friendly while suggesting menu items that were new additions since we last dined here (for my Mom's birthday and again for the seasonal Copper River Salmon back in June of 2023). Gotta have bread and butter for the table and it was absolutely worth every bite. Love the touch of the coarse sea salt directly on the pat. We started things off with the Ketel One Mule. Just the right amount of spiciness from the ginger beer, and flavor of vodka and lime juice. Ordered the Diver Scallops with Bacon Jam (excellent), followed by the III Forks Salad without the Bleu Cheese (also excellent), the 6oz Filet Mignon with all the fixins (cream corn, snap peas, and whipped potatoes with tomatoes and green onions), the 8oz Strip Filet with a succulent Lobster Tail, an order of Six Cheese Potatoes, and Mandarin Orange and Chocolate Ganache for Dessert. Had to box up the remainder of the Steak as well as the Dessert, but we enjoyed every bite the following afternoon and thought that the food quality has increased since last time. Never a bad meal here - this time was markedly different in a good way! And - we will continue the three-times-a-year tradition and indulge whenever we choose. Love the energy here and the vibrance of the intimate dining space. Bonus points for being less than 2 miles (and right around the corner) from our home. I would definitely request Andrew the next time we dine here! Launa visited our table during our meal and it was great to see her again! Chef Chris knows what he is doing and it is clear that his culinary skills truly shine and are a testament to his commitment and high standards of excellence. ———————————————————————————— We were just here celebrating my Mother’s 73rd Birthday on 6/3/2023 and it was exquisite, so naturally when Donald, our server, mentioned that very evening that they were going to receive their seasonal shipment of Copper River Salmon by the following week, we knew we had to try it. There is a reason we keep III Forks on our short list of restaurants. We are semi-regulars because we appreciate the ambiance, professional work ethic, and attentive tableside service. Started things off with a Love Potion each for cocktails and split a III Forks Salad (without the bleu cheese) for an appetizer. Initially, we were told by Mike, our server, that they were completely sold out of the Copper River Salmon. I was visibly crushed, but it turned out that they had ONE left in the back. Talk about timing! It was absolutely divine, not to mention THE highlight of the evening. Flavorful and perfect temp with Asparagus Spears and Cilantro Basmati Rice with a Caper Beurre Blanc. Worth the wait! On this night, Sarah was the hostess. Launa and Melissa also checked on us at our table during our meal. Mom enjoyed her Chilean Sea Bass. Both excellent. Thank you for a memorable evening once again! We will see you again soon, I’m sure.

Very nice experience in Plano! Best stake house so far

I went there Saturday night for dinner. It has an awesome atmosphere. When you walk in you know you are in for a treat. The staff is warm and welcoming. The waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. The food is the problem. When you go to a top notch steakhouse, you expect the food to match the price. The 3forks salad used to be a signature dish, tonight it tasted ordinary and the pecans were not candied. I ordered an 16oz NY Strip. More than half of the chewy steak was wasted. I had to chew to remove the steak from the waste. I should have sent it back but its not what I do. The kitchen staff that cut the steak should have seen this. Needless to say it ruined my evening. If you go, do yourself a favor and do not order the NY Strip.

I came for my birthday tonight with family to celebrate. You have to ask for Nick! He was so personable and funny. Really made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. He also had great recommendations. The food of course was top notch. Birthday was a blast!

Brent, fantastic service. Comparing 3 Forks to Christners in the greater Orlando area, Davios in Boston, 101Steak, Marcel or Little Alley in ATL, Shanahans in Denver, the atmosphere and service all compare favorably. The steak, mine, a 10oz filet medium rare, topped with King's Butter was nothing short of amazing. My father ordered the bone-in ribeye oscar, my wife the Chilean sea bass and my mother a typical combination of appetizers and salads. Crab cake, 6 cheese potatoes and an indulgent salad. I haven't seen service at this level since a trip to Halls Chophouse in Nashville, which offered absolutely outstanding service. My wife prepared to take our daughter to the restroom and asked our server Brent the general direction to the restroom. He quickly informed my wife there was not a proper changing table but offered "this way" with a gesture informing he would show her the way. My father interrupted this process by asking his (Brent) opinion on steaks. Without so much as a pause in conversation, Brent attended to my father while quickly tapping his coworker to inform him his services were needed to guide my wife and child to the restroom. This seamless interaction might be lost to many, but family and I were thoroughly pleased and appreciative. The food arrived in a timely fashion and the flavor was incredible across the board. I should retreat temporarily and say both the bread and calamari were amazing. The old fashions were top notch as well, comparing well with those at Peter Luger, my current favorite old fashioned and a great steak. We were celebrating my father's birthday and they offered a card and concluded with two desserts. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I'm certain I'm leaving some comparisons out, like Sunset Terrace in Asheville and a few on the west coast but suffice it to say Brent and 3 Forks left quite the favorable impression and I look forward to our return in the future. Kid-friendliness: Our daughter was accommodated in every way. High chair was waiting at our table, as well as a small plate and plastic cup with a lid and a straw. Catered to in every way.
