Drawing inspiration from the region’s history and natural surroundings, the 156-seat freestanding restaurant reflects elemental themes of wood, water, iron, and fire, reminiscent of the carriage houses and blacksmith shops that once dotted the landscape. The centerpiece of Forge & Vine is an eight-foot wood fired grill and open kitchen with counter seating where guests can enjoy dinner while interacting with the chef. Welcoming residents as well as visitors to the area, Forge & Vine offers a strong sense of place with a design sensibility that brings in the outside with floor to ceiling windows offering breathtaking pastoral views of Gibbett Hill. The restaurant boasts spacious and casual bar with service inside and out and features classic and comfortable cuisine sourced from the best produce, seafood, and meats that New England offers.

    Our waitress was not attentive. She was also quite cold and unfriendly.

    I sent an email on 3/17; left a VM on Saturday 3/15 @ 1:55p. No response. My intent was to share my experience at Forge and Vine, where I and two others were dining on Friday, 3/14 with reservations at 6p. I don't like giving bad reviews publicly (I try to give positive reviews publicly & in infrequent poor experiences, communicate w/ someone who may have an impact on change). We sat down at 6:05. and informed our waitress that we were (like many guests) eating before a show at the Groton Hill Music Center to see Patti LuPone at 8p. It was a combo birthday/xmas gift (including the dinner). The waitress did share the kitchen was busy, and we'd have to be a little bit patient. We ordered beverages within a few minutes. We ordered appetizers (one each) as well as entrees - all at the same time at 6:25p. Appetizers took about 25 minutes to come out (6:50p). At 7:20, we asked the waitress to find out from the kitchen when we could expect our meal, as we were going to have a very short time to eat. 5 minutes later, she came back and informed us she would find a manager to ask the kitchen. Note, there were 2 parties that were seated after us in the same room that already had their entrees. At 7:35, we asked the manager on duty to box up the meals, as we ran out of time to enjoy the dining experience. Between 7:40 and 7:45, we got the to-go containers, paid, and left. We paid our $190.99 (this included a $20.50 discount for our experience) and a mediocre tip of the same amount for the experience. Once we got home, I saw the meager $44 Potato-crusted halibut I ordered (I have shared this pic). It's not highlighted how much stress we felt in the potential to miss a once-in-a-lifetime show and decided to go moderately hungry instead. We've eaten at the Forge and Vine before. Unless remedied - an acknowledgment of a slew of errors, and compensation for at least my meal (miniscule and clearly incomplete), we won't be going back.

    Outstanding staff and perfect ambiance! Happy to see the menu was updated for the spring and you're doing a great job with the focaccia.

    This was our first visit to Forge and Vine and will definitely not be our last. The service and food were excellent. Although a bit of a hike for us, the drive is worth it!

    Service was wonderful but the main meals were a letdown. The filet mignon was pre-cut on the plate which was a complete disappointment. The presentation of the main dish also had sparse sides and didn’t provide the value that we would expect from a $50+ meal.

    The food and service was outstanding as always. I was disappointed that one of your special apps didn’t make the new menu, specifically the olive and feta dish.
