Drawing inspiration from the region’s history and natural surroundings, the 156-seat freestanding restaurant reflects elemental themes of wood, water, iron, and fire, reminiscent of the carriage houses and blacksmith shops that once dotted the landscape. The centerpiece of Forge & Vine is an eight-foot wood fired grill and open kitchen with counter seating where guests can enjoy dinner while interacting with the chef. Welcoming residents as well as visitors to the area, Forge & Vine offers a strong sense of place with a design sensibility that brings in the outside with floor to ceiling windows offering breathtaking pastoral views of Gibbett Hill. The restaurant boasts spacious and casual bar with service inside and out and features classic and comfortable cuisine sourced from the best produce, seafood, and meats that New England offers.

    We were very excited about trying the Forge and Vine given the number of good reviews. The waitress was lovely. Our dinner started out great. The oysters were delicious. From there it was all downhill. The little lettuce salad was pretty good although the dressing had very little flavor. I had the scallops. The parsnip purée that covered the scallops was really thick and lacked flavor. My husband had the burger which he described as extremely bland. He said he would have preferred Tasty Burger or even a Whopper. Our experience was a huge disappointment.

    My friends and I went to the Sara Waters Medium event and it was fantastic. We really enjoyed it and would go again if she came back, or even another medium. The staff, drinks, food, service and event were top notch. Thank you

    The waitstaff was very good. Our order of calamari was subpar. The calamari was very tough and hard to cut or chew. But we were not charged for the order.

    The Forge and Vine has an excellent ambience and very delicious food although the menu is somewhat limited and would benefit from some specials.

    Overall was nice. However. My salmon meal was lukewarm, and the scallops were pretty small on one of the meals. But tasty and everybody was very accommodating and took half price off my meal and offered to make a hot one. But it was very tasty, even though it wasn’t hot so I declined. Appreciate d everyone’s effort to make it right.
