   The arancini balls were delicious. I had the steak frites and my husband did the filet. Both steaks were seasoned and cooked perfectly and very tender with the perfect crust. My chimichurri sauce and his gravy type sauce complimented our steaks very well, and the fries are amazing!

   Waitress was very nice and attentive. Unfortunately the kitchen was not good - all of our food - appetizers/salads/entrees came out at exactly the same time - not good - and food was so salty it was hardly edible.

   Meatball & focaccia starter was very tasty..highly recommended. The burger was cooked well, but a bit salty. Fries were crisp, but a bit greasy. Server was very friendly.

   My girlfriend and I went to Forte for our anniversary and was expecting to have a great time. They started with complimentary champagne which was very sweet of them. After that nothing was good. We got the meatballs and focaccia along with the arancini to start, the bread was stale and the meatballs had no taste. The arancini was fine. My girlfriend got a cocktail that came out wrong. She also ordered the salmon which came out raw and when we asked if they could cook it more they said sure and when it came back out the manager said they were sorry and completely redid it… but her knife cut was still in the salmon so how could it have been a completely new dish? I ordered the bolognese which had ragu but there idea of ragu is chunks of meatballs and not braised beef. We left upset and will never go back. For $200 you would expect one dish to be good.

   A birthday celebration w/ 8. Staff was fabulous & attentive. Food well-prepared but fries cold on my $50 steak entree & my double espresso a cold. Salad croutons soggy and appeared store bought. Suspect this may have been a delay from plating to table delivery. Restaurant loud but we were seated in back & quiet enough for table conversation. A little disappointing for the price.

    Great experience overall! I had heard mixed reviews about Forte, but we had a fantastic experience. Our server was Faith, and she was so kind and attentive. We ordered the meatballs and Arancini for starters. The Arancini was FANTASTIC and the meatballs were very good, but maybe a little undercooked. For entrees, we had the steak frites and the bolognese. They both were FANTASTIC. Dessert and drinks were great as well! Restaurant has great ambiance and is lovely. Hope to return soon!
