    We had a fantastic time and definitely enjoyed our evening. Food was delicious and service was excellent. We opted to skip dessert but our waitress brought us a very thoughtful offering since it was our anniversary dinner. Kudos to the staff for going above and beyond for us.

    Ambience is very nice and food is very good also valet parking. We went for our aniversary they treated us and congratulated us and served us a complementary glass of Prosecco. I love their caesar salad, both my wife and I had Tomahawk Veal Chop. Good quality merat and cooked to perfect temperature. We split a Cre'me brûlée it was also very good!

    Not great, not terrible. If you’re looking for a quiet night out this is not the place. The clientele is not that of a high class establishment but more like a trashy washed up nightclub. I was not impressed.

    Overall, we were very pleased with our dining experience. Unfortunately, the crowd noise was extremely high and distracted us from the meal. (This was not the restaurant's fault. It could be a sign of success.) More importantly, the food was excellent, and the waitstaff was attentive. The ambiance is candlelit tables and dimmed lighting. There is a bar/lounge that is packed with a lively clientele. We left before the DJ was to go on. There is live entertainment scheduled on weekends. I highly recommend Forte for date nights, and family or friend gatherings.
