Among fresh white linens and glowing candles, fork & vine serves up beautifully executed contemporary American fare alongside an extensive wine list. Spanning the esculent gamut from more traditional fare to innovative small plates, the menu touts petite gems such as the warm prosciutto-wrapped sea scallops, with shaved fennel and Pernod sauce ($11), and chilled spicy tuna tartare, with cucumber, chili paste, pickled ginger, and wasabi-green apple ice ($14).
Enjoy larger plates such as the veal napoleon, with layers of roasted, sliced veal tenderloin, fried eggplant, spinach, prosciutto, and potato risotto in a barolo wine sauce ($28). Complement entrees with a selection from fork & vine's massive wine list, such as glasses of Italian pinot grigio ($8) and Argentinean malbec ($7).
The intimate dining atmosphere and live music Wednesdays set a romantic scene for dinner, eliminating the need to bring along a Walkman with a Beethoven cassette. Reservations are recommended, but not required.
