Fork

A great brunch must offer imaginative food; a relaxed space that doesnt overwhelm your sometimes delicate end-of-weekend mood; and, as a bonus, gentle pricing that doesnt extract too many Benjamins from your wallet. The Sunday brunch at Fork does just that. Beautiful light filters through tall windows, while the kitchen turns out comforting plates such as mascarpone-stuffed brioche French toast, or sautéed spicy shrimp over the creamiest cheddar grits imaginable, with nothing over $12.
