    Shrimp cocktail - shrimp was tough, rubbery. We asked for ranch dressing instead of the blue cheese for the wedge salad. They still put the blue cheese on it. We asked for the lamb chops to be cooked medium, came back rare and still bloody. The clam chowder was watery and had no flavor, very bland. And the filet was dry...not really good. It was our first time there .. And our last.

    The restaurant side was closed because the server didn’t show up to work, so we had to eat in the bar, which was a separate entrance. The bartender was very accommodating and provided great service, but the atmosphere wasn’t great until the loud drunk woman at the bar left!

    Every item and drink we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend the salmon, scallops, fig & arugula flat bread. Cozy charming feel inside and off the beaten path. Excellent service, too. We took out of town guests here on a foggy rainy night and they loved it. We'll be back!

    They overbooked. Had to wait over a half hour WITH reservations. The bartender was absolutely terrible and slow. The ONLY thing that saved the night in anyway was the food, which was phenomenal. It was a bit pricey, but worth it. As good as the food was though, I'm not sure I'd go back any time soon. Not a very good experience overall.

    Fords food is always incredible. We have loved fords for years and have now followed them to black and blue as we are waiting for the new location to open. However open table did not give any notice that here was a new years menu. We still enjoyed our dinner but it would have been nice to know that there were different options.

    We had dinner here NY Eve so it was a fixed price menu of $85 which included a soup or salad, entre and desert. The food was excellent! We all ordered different meals and we were all very pleased. Service was good, attentive and we never felt rushed. Some bread on the table would have been nice.
