Went with a party of four and all of our meals were exceptional. Without exaggeration, this was one of the top three best meals I've had. Went for the basics starting with shrimp cocktail (crisp, flavorful, fresh) then filet mignon (perfectly seared) with exceptional texture and taste considering I have it medium/well which can be a challenge. Finished it up with chocolate ganache which was surprisingly light and had a crisped marshmallow line alongside (ridiculously good). I know the general ratings from the majority are only about a 3, but that's why we dine in these establishments off season, when proper attention can be paid without the waves of whiny tourists that distract. Thank you very much. :)

We had a reservation for Christmas Eve at 7pm. We were seated promptly near table by the windows as I had requested. Hostess was very personable. The waiter was pleasant and took our appetizer orders and main entree selections. Before anything came to the table, a mouse came down the main aisle of the dining room and ran under the table of the diners across from us. I promptly notified the waiter to cancel our order and that we were leaving. He said "I'm sorry, would you like another table?" Another table in the same dining room near the kitchen with the mouse running around?? Really.?? No other manager or staff addressed the issue with us. Unfortunately, we ended up at an Irish pub with crummy food that we could not eat for our Xmas eve dinner. This restaurant needs to be inspected by the Board of Health. I would not recommend eating or staying here.

THANK YOU for going above and beyond on the first dinner of our Honeymoon. We had an amazing table, were presented with champagne upon arrival, attentive service and a homemade dessert gift at the end of the evening. Our meals were amazing and we are so thankful - highly highly recommend!

There was a mouse running around on the floor right next to our table as we were finishing dinner. Also, my son had the French onion soup and there was a literal piece of plastic in his soup.

I had a fabulous experience last night at Fermentation Class at Forty 1 North! This is a culinary experience not to be missed, attracting locals and visitors alike. I attend each time I am in town and it is always a friendly, welcoming, and enjoyable event, with each class being different and a great way to spend the evening. Each of the five course presentations is an exceptionally composed small bite with the perfect wine pairing! All of the selections last night were outstanding! The time, expertise, and thought that goes into the preparation and pairing is obvious and appreciable. Abbey is a very gracious and informative host, providing interesting details about the wine selections. The Oval Bar is lovely and creates the perfect setting. This is a food and wine experience well worth experiencing again and again whether as a couple, with a friend or small group, or enjoying solo. Wonderful atmosphere, food, and wine! I thoroughly enjoy each unique Fermentation Class every time I attend. Seating is limited, so be sure to make a reservation. Cheers!

We celebrated our Anniversary at Forty 1 North. We enjoyed our cocktails at the bar and wine at dinner. Food was very good. I gave a 4 star because my dish was served with mushrooms which was not in the description and I don't like mushrooms. I was able to pick them out and eat the dish. They surprised us with champagne and chocolates at the end of our meal to celebrate our occasion.

Dan is the man! First date was epic and Dan was fantastic, entertaining, attentive, and a pleasure to have as a server! Food was great, atmosphere was perfect... 5 stars all the way!

They knew we were celebrating our anniversary - congratulated us multiple times and gave us champagne as well.

Maria

Wonderful meal. Great value for the price point. Chairs are stylish but very uncomfortable,

The servers were attentive. The menu selection for restaurant week was not eclectic (which my husband prefers). The food was delicious! Although, the drink prices were very high $22 for an espresso martini!

Went to celebrate my birthday. The food was very good but the service was horrible. We had to flag her down for everything, to refill our water, to order our food, to order more drinks. She never even checked on us to see how the food was. When your check is $340 youe expect to have better service than you do at a chain restaurant. Super disappointed. Not to mention it was my birthday and the hostess was super sweet but the waitress did nothing to celebrate or acknowledge it. Do not sit in Lissabeth's section if you want a good experience.

I wasn't initially excited about sitting on the patio instead of inside, but it turned out great. The food and service were outstanding! Our waiter Srdan was superb, and my tuna was one of the best I've had in years. We later went inside to the bar for an after dinner drink, and the bartender created a special cocktail just for my wife and I. Overall outstanding night out!

Just ok. Overpriced. $21 for Aperol that tastes like ginger ale. Too noisy. No real ambiance.
