We had 3 appetizers and the French onion soup. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The shrimp scampi skillet dip appetizer was absolutely amazing!

Just opened and wanted to give it a try as I have had good experiences at Jasper’s Backyard in Conshy. Definitely still working out kinks. Thought food was ok but nothing to hurry back for. Service needs work. Waitress used tablet to put in order and was really struggling to enter. When apps arrived we had to ask for plates. We also had to ask for more water and waitress didn’t check in to see if we wanted refills on drinks. A different entree was served to my daughter then she ordered. When her’s arrived (burger) she said it wasn’t we good. Area good use good restaurant so hope they figure things out

The food wasn’t good. We ordered the fried buffalo cauliflower and it was hard as a rock. The Caesar salad was bland. It’s like they just sprinkled Parmesan on it. The Cobb came out with no dressing at all. It was cold in the restaurant. Wanted to love it and an alternative to McGerks. It’s not going to happen.

Nice, new bar-restaurant atmosphere. Server took our kids' drink orders and left before we could put in our drink orders. Food came out extremely quickly which was a pleasant surprise but we never saw our server from the time she took our order until we flagged her down for boxes and the check. The menu had a decent selection but was a little pricey compared to the quality/flavor profiles. Would definitely try again in a few weeks/months to see if anything changes since opening.

The food, service, and seating was excellent. The parking lot was tough since there wasn’t any open spaces. When I mentioned it to the hostess she said that the bank parking lot next to the restaurant was available. So that is good to know. The noise level is high which could be off setting if you want to have a quiet conversation. But all and all a very good place to eat.

First time visit to this new neighborhood restaurant. Some interesting items on the menu, but somewhat limited in entrees - lots of starters, sandwiches, flatbread. However, food was good and service was excellent. The restaurant was crowded for a rainy Wednesday night. BUT the noise level was awful - very hard to have a conversation at a table of only 4. Will probably wait to go back when weather improves and can eat outside to limit the noise level.

Need to refine the food just a bit. For example the shrimp scampi appetizer had too little shrimp and way too much cheese. I would go back though. Great neighborhood place

Met here for dinner with friends. Did a great job with the renovation - you'd never know it was Friendly's. Appetizers were delicious, meals also very good. Menu a little smaller than we expected but we all enjoyed what we ordered. Service was okay, also it was really loud. Like had to yell across the table loud! But I do think we will go back. It has only been open two weeks so I'm sure it will get better and better.

Hey Kimberly, Thank you so much for your honest thoughts! We're thrilled to hear that you're impressed with the renovation (even though we know how much people are missing their Butter Crunch) and found our food to be delicious. We appreciate your understanding about the noise level. We're always working on improving our service, and your feedback is invaluable. We're glad to know that you're considering returning and we look forward to serving you again soon! Best, The Fort Management

Seated immediately at our reservation time. Our server took our drink order and was properly attentive through the meal. The food was excellent and timely.
