    A wonderful dining experience from beginning to end. Our party of 4 was greeting by a friendly hostess which set the tone. Lovely ambience, the vibe strikes the balance between upscale and local ALHOA welcoming. Repeat visits to FORC as the food is reliably delicious. Specialty cocktails, local brews, good wine list and an array of appetizer/starters each of us chose something different; hamachi sashimi, short rib lettuce wraps, wedge salad, clams with homemade sausage. All yummy. All 4 of us had a different entree as well, ending up sharing a macadamia chocolate tart topped with mac ice cream. The menu changes seasonally which provides for unique and creative dishes that incorporate local produce and proteins. Signature dishes such as Rib Eye and New York prepared 4 different ways remain on the menu. Parking on the premises, service is impeccable and the evolving tasty food never disappoints. Thank you FORC !
