 September 25, 2009 Bent Fork has great food, classy atmosphere The first time I saw a sign advertising Bent Fork, I knew I would be eating there in the near future. The name alone was intriguing enough to get me in the door. The menu has a variety of items fitting the Italian Southwest theme. Starters include things like Chile Calamari, Brick Oven Roasted Spadini or Chips & Salsa. Entrees include a variety of salads, soups, gourmet pizza, sandwiches and signature entrees and pastas. You can choose anything from Smoked Turkey Enchiladas to the Green Chile Cheese Burger or Garlic Shrimp Pasta. Chef and owner Jayson Bonino and his wife Shelly moved from Phoenix to Southern Utah in November 2008. According to the Bent Fork Web site, Bonino has been "dreaming up dishes for 23 years." He must have some tasty dreams. Everything I ate was delicious - from the crisp mixed green salad with garlic ranch dressing that was not overwhelmingly garlic but absolutely delicious, to the Three Cheese Ravioli entree that was not only stuffed with cheese but had fresh mozzarella on top. I would have liked the entree to be a little warmer - it was a little on the cool side - but it was delicious. The bread accompanying the salad was perfectly toasted and crispy without falling to pieces in your hand. The fresh lemonade was cool and refreshing, and our waitress refilled the glass frequently to make sure we didn't run out. In fact, the beverages were so ice cold that condensation collected on the table. The drinks were nice on a hot day, but the water on the table was bothersome, though it was a minor annoyance. My friend ordered the Bacon Chile Stuffed Meatloaf, which came with herb mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables and ancho demi gravy. He said the meatloaf had great flavor and was moist. The vegetables (including asparagus) were also good, and he said the potatoes were "something to go back for." The host was friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, seating us promptly. Our waitress was also friendly. As she deposited our straws she noticed that the second one was bent and joked that it was the "Bent Straw" not the "Bent Fork," and later teased that we were "making the dishwasher's job easy" by clearing our plates of the delicious food. The restaurant itself is located at what may initially seem like an awkward spot on Bluff Street (it was formerly where A Slice of Tuscany was located), however inside it has a warm and elegant feel, with a tan and black color scheme combining for a classy look. Though the tables are close, lights that hang near the table give it an intimate feel, and cloth napkins and china, with real flowers on the tables are a nice touch. Because the food is made from scratch, it does take a little longer to arrive at your table. This is not a place for a quick meal, but the cozy feeling makes it the sort of place where you could catch up with family or friends or take get to know a date. It's definitely a place I'll be revisiting. Additional Facts |
