⭐☆☆☆☆ – Absolutely the Worst Dining Experience I’ve Had in 20 Years in Portland
Fork and Film Portland was literally the worst food experience I’ve had in my twenty years of living here — and that’s saying something. We paid $200 per ticket for what were supposed to be the best seats for Hocus Pocus, expecting at least a mid-level meal if not something genuinely good. What we got instead was food so bad it almost felt like a prank.
The “soup course” tasted like it came out of a rusty can that had been watered down to stretch it for the whole theater. The pieces of bread that came with it were basic and completely forgettable. My first drink was mid-level champagne, and the second was an alleged sangria — basically a glass filled with two cups of ice, a quarter glass of liquid, and a handful of stale gummy bears.
Then came the “main course”: some cold, black-colored gnocchi with a little smear of plain tomato sauce underneath. I finished it in about three spoonfuls because there was just nothing to it. No salt, no flavor, no seasoning — nothing. The final course was the breaking point: a stale, dry brownie that crumbled into dust when I tried to pick it up with a spoon. It tasted like a microwaved Dollar Tree brownie, and I gave up after one bite. The last drink was basically apple juice with maybe a tablespoon of alcohol, if there was any at all.
The seats themselves were good — front row center — but the stage setup in front of you is cluttered and cheap-looking. The attempt at décor was painfully amateurish. The only redeeming thing was the servers, who were very kind and attentive. But even with great service, this experience wasn’t worth $20, let alone $200.
You’re honestly better off doing a Fork and Film at home, or just going to a regular theater, spending $40 on a comfy recliner seat, fresh popcorn, a soda, and a hot dog. This whole thing feels like a total scam, and saying I’m disappointed is an understatement.
