Fork

I never had a chance to visit Fork before it closed.

Scotty Simpson’s new Capitol Hill restaurant, Fork (806 E. Roy St., Seattle, 206-325-7400; www.forkseattle.com), in the historic Loveless Building. Simpson says he’s thrilled with his new kitchen team, including chefs Jared Stoneberg, Tyler Moritz and pastry chef Amanda Spencer. Want a taste of their monthly changing menu? Here’s a nibble: lobster corn dog; scallops with horseradish-carrot reduction and beet foam; duck breast with creamy polenta and smoked tea broth; and chocolate liquid cake with chipotle ice cream. Entrée prices range from $16-$28. Plans for lunch and brunch are in the offing. For now, Fork is serving dinner only 5-10 p.m. Tuesdays-Sundays.
