About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    We had a wonderful evening! Our salad, dinner and dessert were delicious and inventive. Check out the menu! Our server, Troy, was courteous and efficient. Will be going back…

    The noise in the overflow room is too much to handle. It made it impossible to carry on a conversation without shouting. :(

    Having read reviews, we expected an excellent experience. Forge & Vine exceeded those expectations. Dining before a concert, we were a bit pressed for time, and our fabulous wait person, Valerie, ensured the kitchen got our dishes out timely. The poutine was the best we've had in Massachusetts, the salads were crisp, well sized, and delicious. Our favorite selection was the fig and duck breast flatbread - packed with its components and perfectly cooked. The wine list is well curated, and the drinks are interesting and delicious. We found the noise level higher than we would have liked, but otherwise, it was an amazing evening.

    We reserved a table for four at 5:30. We had a concert to attend nearby at 7:30, so we informed our waitress that we needed to be done and out the door by 7:10. The waitress was very nice and accommodating, but evidently the kitchen got backed up and our entrees didn’t arrive at our table until 6:55. So we had to eat in a rush and skip dessert. In terms of the food, salads were overpriced and blah. For example, the baby iceberg salad consisted of a half head of iceberg lettuce with a minuscule drizzle of blue cheese dressing, a few bacon bits, and a few dried tomatoes. And that cost $17. Entrees were pretty good, however, but rushing to eat our entrees soured the experience for all of us. And once again, we were deprived of a dessert experience due to poor kitchen output. We ended up getting M&M’s at the concert. :(

    Appetizers on new menu were fabulous. We had wood roasted carrots, charcuterie board and the Burrata. All were delicious and beautiful. The dinners were very good , particularly the day boat scallops- I had that menu item and the scallops were prepared perfectly. they paired extremely well with the green bean and corn succotash. My husband had Steak Frites and he described them as good, He ate it all so it could not have been bad. Our friend had short rib and he liked it a lot but stated he has had better. His wife had the cheeseburger and described it as very good but as she orders well done I cant judge too much from that. We loved the atmosphere and were quite comfortable at a high top. The drinks were very good- particularly the 3 Little pigs and the Two of a kind. The dessert we chose was the Lemon Blueberry crumble. It was delivered so hot that we burned our tongues on it. The dessert itself was good but not something I would order again. Overall, we very much liked our first time at Forge and Vine and we will go back again.

    Been there on numerous occasions but sorry to say the overall quality of the experience and in particular the food has steadily declined over the last year or so, and it is by no means an inexpensive night out. Not sure we'll be eating there again as there are better, less expensive options 15 minutes away.

    This was my first visit to Forge and Vine - but definitely won't be my last. We were there on a Sunday with the Brunch menu which had a nice mix of "breakfast" and "lunch" options. The bread basket and donut holes were a delicious way to start. The food was excellent and the setting is ideal...beautiful views of the countryside from almost every seat. There are several options for a large or private party there. The service was excellent...it was a most enjoyable meal!
