Hearty hunks of beef are, of course, what the restaurant is best known for, but we wanted to try other items as well. I went back. Not much changes at this establishment, founded in 1977 by Humphrey Folk. The restaurant expanded over the years, now occupying a series of large and small dining areas and cozy private rooms. The restaurant is comfortable and clubby, paneled in wood and sporting a variety of dim chandeliers that cast a soothing light.
Service is genial and motherly and efficient.
Our waiter, who treated us as if she had known us since high school, even steered us away from the calamari appetizer. I tried one and it was pretty chewy. We appreciated the gesture. Another thing that hasn't changed at Folk's Folly is the arrangement of the menu, which carries the a la carte concept to delirious extent. Everything at the restaurant has to be ordered separately.
