We went to III Forks on May 2nd, 2011. We used "Open Table" to make the reservation and mentioned that it was in celebration of our 30th anniversary. Upon mentioning our name for the reservation we were greeted with "Happy Anniversary" and led to a table that was set with a candle. Everyone who came to the table said "happy anniversary" to us. The service was excellent, the server was attentive and informative, the time between entrees was perfect, the food was delicious. I had the 8 oz. filet and my husband had the special which was a trio of steak medalions. Both were cooked to perfection and I will judge every steak from now on by comparing it to that one. Seriously, it was that good! The seasonings were tasty but not overwhelming in every aspect of the meal. Keep in mind that you will order a la carte. Side dishes are large enough to be split between two people (we had the six cheese potatoes, which were very good), the young man taking our order suggested it, so it's not frowned upon. :-)
We were given a complimentary desert (a decadent chocolate mousse) as well as photo to commemorate the occasion.
