    Much needed and appreciated place for steak, don't miss it of you're in town. Clean, friendly, well prepared, presented and served. Not the cheapest, but worth it. Only very minor issue was that the wine list could use some organization.

    Fortify once again hit it out of the park. Of course the food, service and overall ambience were outstanding, as usual, but upon knowing it was our anniversary, we were met with a greeting card signed by staff, a special table and an outstanding desert. Thank you Fortify for another great evening. You guys are the standard against which others strive to be. Keep it up!

    Good food and service. A bit pricey but not unexpected. Music was a bit loud for a Sunday morning, but they turned it down when we requested. Eclectic gift shop. Clean restrooms. Recommended.
