Classy North Fork Table
It was another beautiful North Fork Weekend:) To my delightful surprise my Honey decided to take me for lunch at the classy North Fork Table. Located on the Main Road in Southold.
North Fork Table with its progressive American cuisine is a lovely place to dine. The decor light and fresh. White table clothes over linen. Wainscoted walls in neutral colors create an all over relaxing and easy going yet sophisticated feeling:)
The food is seasonally inspired, locally grown and bioynamic organic. Honey and I began with a bottle of Merlot from Onbay. A Long Island vineyard. The wine came out along with warm fresh backed french style rolls. My Honey loves his bread:)
Amanda our server was so knowledgeable and sweet. Relaxed and efficient. The bartender Mike also friendly and knowledgeable.
I could not decide between the Stripe Bass or the Sword Fish. Honey went with the Charred Grass fed Black Angus Strip Loin Beef. Served with garlic scented swiss chard, roasted cipollini onion and crisp potato cake.
I finally asked Amanda to kindly choose for me...I really couldn't decide:) Amanda suggested the Harpooned Atlantic Sword Fish Steak ala Plancha. Served with olive oil braised artichokes, nicoise olives, lava beans and saffron aioli.
DELISH DELISH DELISH:) The food almost to pretty to eat...perfect portion size, so well presented and so incredibly tasty. Every bite was an experience. Honey and I couldn't stop tasting each others dishes either:) We both finished every delicious bite.
I do want to say that North Fork Table is pricy. The lunch entrees were 35-40$ each. But you really get what you pay for. Its local and organic. In my opinion worth every penny:)
Im not a big dessert eater but Honey ordered the Warm Sugar and Spice Dougnuts. AGAIN how simply delicious.
We sat for about an hour and a half. We never felt rushed. We chit chatted with Amanda and Mike. Just enjoying a Beautiful Sunday afternoon.
We wrapped up inside and went to explore the outside a bit. North Fork Table also has a Lunch Truck. Can't wait to try the Lunch Truck:) Items like Hartman's Artisan All Beef Hot Dogs served on a toasted Blue Duck Bakery Roll. With "add ons" like fresh homemade pickle relish or homemade sauerkraut. Wild Caught Lobster Roll, North Fork Style Berkshire Pulled Pork, Veggie Sandwiches or Sliced Strip Loin Sandwich. This is like no Lunch Truck I've ever seen:) There are places to sit outside under trees and enjoy a picnic style lunch.
North Fork Table is a diverse place to enjoy food. The restaurant being a "dining experience" To the Lunch Truck that is so very casual. It was a very enjoyable experience.
Just want to also say to the people who read my blog regularly I took Honey to Croteaux after Lunch. I wrote about that Vineyard last week. Again..... The vineyard....Beautiful.
