About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Charming
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.

    The food and service were great as always. We don't come here often, but it's fun to do for a special occasion once in a while.

    After a spectacular birthday celebration for 22 friends in March, I expected the same level of food quality, etc. My dirty martini was served with blue cheese olives, after I very specifically asked for plain olives and shaker ice. The ice was not from the martini shaker. The waiter did take the olives and brought what I requested. Next, the onion soup was served lukewarm. We asked for that to be re-heated. We had to remind the waiter of our request for bread. The steak frite was extremely salty and over seasoned. It was borderline inedible. The fries were even more salty!

    Of the 3 young woman at the front desk, not one said “hello” nor attempted a “happy mother’s day!” Service was lackluster. Kitchen was noisy. We moved from the dining room to the bar because it was quieter. The food was very good altho portions are small. The the view is lovely but, overall, it disappointed.

    We went on Mother’s Day, which probably isn’t the best day to try out a restaurant, but everything was great. I love the environment, it is a large open space with a large bar and outside deck (although not being used). Service was excellent. The menu had lots of variety, especially for groups that liked to share. We will certainly be back, thinking on a nice evening with friends on the deck.

    We had a wonderful evening, sitting at the chefs table, watching all the activity in the kitchen. Our steak was fantastic! All the sides were delicious as well. Will definitely be back.
