Good fork was expensive. But delicious. Big lineup quick so get there early.
Also my server sucked but I think he was new so NBD.

Went to good fork and had the worst pancakes ever, it was rubbery. Coffee was meh as well. The simit was very good but I think they got it from a bakery.

They serve fish from Affinity at Sakai Bar right across the street if anyone is interested in tasting the goods but doesn’t feel up to the cooking themselves. Highly recommended 👍
