"We had high hopes trying The Fourk for the first time. The building is historic, and the menu looked good. When we walked in, the ambiance was nice. Unfortunately, both our meals left something to be desired. I chose the French Onion chicken, which was delicious. My side choices, however, were not. The green beans were barely cooked and still quite crunchy and stringy. The sweet potatoes were anything but, had a strange flavor, and looked as if they had been way over cooked they were a dark brown and not orange. I didn’t eat them. My dining companion chose the scallops over Cajun grits. The scallops were cooked well, and were served atop an overflowing plate of grits. Being from the South, she was looking forward to them, but was very disappointed. The grits were lumpy, and had no flavor (cheese nor Cajun). We both left feeling disappointed and hungry. High hopes, but we won’t be back."
