The salad was fresh but the dressing was very acidic and my selected salmon fish dinner was not grilled to my taste.
High noise level, selection of wine by the glass was poor and it took 40 minutes to get the food served.
Was my first time in this restaurant, and It was a great experience, place very nice and food also great, and service was great definitely recommend.
Forte is always lovely. The food is consistently excellent and the specials are always inventive. (Octopus bolognese was terrific). They are very accommodating and the service is always top notch.
Wonderful experience. Only thing I was a little disappointed about was I had two of my girlfriends with me and it was their birthdays this week. I called prior to my reservation to have them note that I wanted a dessert to be given to them for a little celebration. It never came out and assuming the server didn't even know about it. Upset me a bit as I had to tell my girlfriends I had something planned for them and it never happened. Other than that it was a good experience. I just wish that was communicated to the server.
Stumbled upon this place on TikTok and booked a table for 8 for a client luncheon. Absolutely delicious! The place is just beautiful. The ambiance elegant and welcoming. Food was absolutely delicious, from appetizers to drinks to entrees, everything was just amazing! Our client was pleased.
From the time we sat down time we left, it was wonderful. I totally recommend this place. Food was excellent and our waiter was excellent. Will definitely go back.
First time going to this restaurant and I was very impressed. The place super clean and the food delicious! Def coming back!
Luved it need more single than in their 50s way too many women there was a ratio of 40 women and five men on a Friday night
The valet took $20 from me never said how much it was to park or return change We were told there was a DJ that's why we went and he cancelled The service was not great they were hovering to refill your water as it was in your hand and you were still drinking they cleared the appetizers before we had finished them we were rushed The food was just so so The place is beautiful but feel more like a hotel vibe not what we expected

The crab cocktail was fresh and delicious and so were the clams oreganata The veal was tender and very flavorful and those Zeppoles with the Nutella are out of this world and they give you an ample amount which I had no problem devouring. That was my third time dining there and I will be back soon!
Been here over a dozen times not sure what happened but every dish we had didn't seem fresh or have much flavor as in the past. Everything tasted reheated. Stuffed long hots were not hot at all and were heavy on the bread crumb light on the cheese. The lettuce in the salad was soggy. The chicken was not hot and the potatoes were soggy. Usually crispy. Also realized I was charged for a double espresso when i asked for a single. And a $2.00 charge to split a dish which in the 10+ times I've been there had not ever been charged.
Fantastic dinner! Service was excellent. Sea Bass and salmon dishes were prepared perfectly. Only issue was they played music after 9:00, which was scheduled, and I was unaware. Great tunes, but I was planning on a quiet dinner. Should have planned, as it would have been great to end night with a cocktail and dancing!
I have been to forte several times and normally enjoy the food very much. I had the shrimp risotto last night and it seemed like there was something gritty or Sandy in the food. The noise level was also way too high. 
Standard Italian fare in an elegant atmosphere. Attentive service and reasonable prices. Nothing out of the ordinary. On a busy night, the valet parking attendant gets jammed up. Not disappointed but not rushing back either.
