“Our evening at Forklift was fabulous from the start. We were seated at the Chef’s counter and got a first hand look how dishes were cooked, plated and final prep before being served. The specialty cocktails were top-notch (we had The Agave and The Jalapeño Peach Marg). Though we didn’t have appetizers, every one that was prepared left our mouths watering. Our entrees, Braised Pork Cheeks and Tabbouleh with Amberjack, both simply fantastic. To top the night off, we had house-made Key Lime Pie—delicate, delightful and totally guilt free.”
