    Amazing dining experience! Our server Felicia was fantastic. Very kind, patient, and helpful with ordering. Breakfast was outstanding. The ambiance was very cozy on a winter morning with music soft enough to have good conversation.

    When ordering, I should have asked the price of the "Special" which our waitress narrated to us, as it turned out to be pretty expensive compared to the chicken dishes on the menu. That is why I did not rate VALUE as a 5, but a 4. Otherwise, everyone at our table seemed very happy with the food. The noise level was "energetic", as the open table system likes to explain the highest level, when all the tables are filled and everyone is trying to converse... That is why I did not rate AMBIENCE as a 5, but a 4. Otherwise, I very much enjoyed the holiday decorations and the low-level background music. We hope to return again during warmer weather to try the outdoor seating.

    Loved everything about our dinner at FYR. Great open fire kitchen with Argentina parrilla. Food was amazing, from starter to dessert. Favorites if the night was skirt steak and the side of grilled carrots. The gnocchi was also delicious. The place is big and spacious with a nice setting of tables around the room making the ambiance super nice for every occasion ( large or small parties). Want to go back to try lunch menu too.

    Our experience was the best it could be because of the recommendations and explanations from Mike. He was available through every phase of dining and we thoroughly enjoyed everything from our wine to our entree choices. And the atmosphere was just perfect. It is evident that the staff was extremely knowledgable and wanted every guest to have the best experience possible.

    Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.
