Description: Under the direction of new owner Frank Dougherty, the legendary Knife & Fork has just completed an extensive renovation aimed at restoring and enhancing this Atlantic City landmark. Featuring a brand new, state-of-the-art kitchen, expanded bar and lounge area, as well as ocean views from the main dining rooms, the Knife & Fork is once again the place to see and be seen in Atlantic City. The Knife & Fork's new menu, featuring the finest steaks and seafood prepared on a wood-fired grill, is complemented by an extensive wine list and 10,000 bottle wine "cellar." The Knife & Fork is now offering lunch every Friday from 11:30-4:30 pm. It's the perfect spot to celebrate the end of the work week or get a jump start on your weekend. The Dougherty family, owners of the other Atlantic City dining landmark, Dock's Oyster House, invite you to visit them at their newest location

Have been there before and was very satisfied. The four of us arrived and requested the hostesses to seat us at a table in the bar area near the windows. We always enjoy sitting there. We were seated enjoying our cocktails and discussing choices on the menu comfortably and were in the process of ordering and was TOLD by the... More

I can not even begin to tell you what a great choice this was to celebrate my birthday. The food was great, our server Heidi was energetic and attentive and the ambiance was warm and inviting. We never felt rushed and we enjoyed a nice leisurely dinner. We started with the fried calamari as an appetizer. It was crispy and... More

We purposely picked a longstanding restaurant with history over an overly commercial celebrity-chef-backed place. The Knife and Fork Inn definitely has its own charm. We knew it when we walked in and saw the decorative ceiling and the turned stairway in front of us. We had a 6:30 reservation and got a nice table with no neighbors, although the place... More

My husband and I LOVED the Knife & Fork Inn, we’ll definitely return if we ever have the occasion to. Honestly it was one of the best restaurant meals that I’ve had in years (and we dine out virtually every Saturday night). The service was excellent, and our entrees were perfection! I liked the charm of the place too. Lots... More

I have eaten MANY of the appetizers and small plates-- they have an awesome selection and are so yummy! I have not had an entree but... More

Plenty of Boardwalk history, and the Commodore would be proud of the menu execution as well. The setting was excellent, and both the food and service were very good. This is a place worth seeing and dining at.

The Chicken Milanese hah rotted/bad tomatoes with the topping of salad. I had to go to the men's room to spit up the food i just ate and-rinse my mouth many time to eat the taste out. I complained to the waiter about this. They did NOTHING!!! I will never go back. Thanks but know thanks... Very Disappointing.

We were hesitant to give up going to Dock's Oyster House (our very favorite restaurant) but decided to try Knife & Fork. Boy did we had a fantastic meal. They had an excellent selection of beers. My husband started with two perfectly cooked scallops over asparagus with a lovely sauce and I finally tried a soft-shell crab (it was actually... More

This was an amazing place to eat! Our waiter Casey was so informative, and understanding with all of our questions about the menu. He gave us an amazing tour of the 1912 building after dinner. I love history especially the 1920's so hearing about Knife and Forks role in it was a real treat. The food was exquisite. I got... More
