Knife & Fork Inn

Steakhouse, Seafood$-$$$

Says critic Craig LaBan: “While most of Atlantic City has gone casino, the 107-year-old Knife & Fork, still independent under the Dougherty family, remains a gorgeous sanctuary of A.C. gone by, from its distinctive stair-step facade and leaded glass windows to the Prohibition mural that pays homage to the era when ‘Nucky’ Johnson ruled its speakeasy nights. The current menu trends steakhouse, but the creamy throwback lobster Thermidor, lumpy crabcakes, stiff cocktails, and airy soufflé potatoes are also worth the splurge.”
