    It was not busy at all (Friday 7pm), although table next to us was not cleaned from the moment we sat at our table until the time we left. Not a pleasant view. Food was just okay, drinks were nice! Service was pretty good. Not sure if I’d want to be back though

    The restaurant was out of salmon. The chicken in the rice bowls wasn't seasoned and a bit dry. The soup for the grilled cheese was cold and had to be reheated. For a beautiful decor and location, the food was sub-par at best.
    ForaResponded on June 19, 2025
    Thanks for visiting us, Melda. We're sorry to hear that your experience at Fora didn't meet your expectations.

    The ambiance was good, so if you are going for that this is the place. Food was just okay. Drinks were disappointing, my friend requested Prosecco, they didn’t have it. I asked for a chocolate martini, they said they could make it, but I have no idea what they made. My drink was watered down sadness. Too many better options around for drinks.
