This was my first time being disappointed at this restaurant. For two people who only had water for drinks, our bill came to a little over $120. I had ordered the braised short ribs (plural on the menu), but there was only one rib on my dinner plate, along with about 3 tablespoons of carrots. The side order of broccolini I had ordered didn’t arrive with my meal, when our server realized that, she quickly brought some to me, but it was cold. While the food was quite tasty, the portion was ridiculously small. Our dining table was quite small, and in the middle of a walkway, and we will frequently being bumped by weight, staff and other customers. When our entrées were delivered, and it was clear to the server that there was no room on the table for those dinner plates, instead of taking our empty salad in soup bowls away, he just pushed them to the other side of the very small table, which, of course didn’t solve the problem. For all the good experiences I’ve had here, of course, I will go back; but if this was my first time dining at this restaurant, it would be my last time.

The Korean BBQ was very fatty. :( (Enough so they took them off our bill) The Brussels sprouts were only like warm. The wood fried shrimp was pretty spicy… was a little surprised. The small plate mushroom specialties offered tonight were a treat! You should be aware that the kitchen staff are very very close to some tables. They have a practice of shouting out orders and those receiving the orders being very vocal In their response. Might be fun for some, but was a little obnoxious if you are trying to have a conversation with your table mates. Not sure we will return, 3rd visit.. and was just as noisy the other visits. The price, well, tapas, appetizers and one drink each… $75 person. Ok, it was a night out.

Salad was delicious. I had the sweet potato gnocchi. They needed some salt and pepper but were very good. German chocolate cake was excellent.

Our first time at the Forge and Vine, and it was everything and more that we had heard. The fig flatbread pizza was amazing. The drinks were poured perfectly. Our individual meals were cooked to perfection. I was pleasantly surprised by the live music that was playing, and it only just added to a wonderful evening.

Food is always great. Drinks and service are too! The one gripe I have is being placed in the porch room, especially with a late reservation. The room empties out and you feel segregated. Its also typically where large tables with kids sit, or at least I have seen a trend of that in the past. Place is great though.
