Drinks took a moment, as to be expected with 4 different cocktails, a beer and a wine. Food was out shortly after their arrival. Appetizers were good. Brussels, cauliflower and honey bbq wings were elevated from standard pub food. Table got two veggie burgers, which were very good. A pasta dish with locally made pasta was nice, the airline chicken had excellent presentation and no complaints about the shrimp BLT. The Fort will be a standard rotation spot if it is as consistent as last night.

My wife and I went for the first time for our anniversary dinner Excellent food and service! We had the chicken, filet and roasted brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious. Love the atmosphere and the staff (waitresses, greeting staff) was super friendly and attentive (thank you Lauren!). They made it a very special experience for us. Can’t wait to go back!

We recently celebrated my daughter in laws birthday at The Fort and it was excellent! Everyone who worked there were very friendly and accommodating. Our drinks were amazing! We tried the Doli & Strawberry Margarita. We all shared the Brussel sprout appetizer which was very good. For entrees we had the following: Double Smashburger, Cobb Salad with chicken, and 2 of us had the shrimp BLT wraps. We were all very happy with our choices. All were delicious! We ended with some soft serve ice cream. Our waitress was great! Always there when we needed her. They all acknowledged that we were celebrating a birthday and my daughter in laws dessert came out with a lighted candle. They also gave her a nice birthday card as well. It was very nicely done. We all will be returning to enjoy another dinner at this great place.

We have been to the bar area in the past but this was our first table experience. The service was good and the noise level was low. The prices are actually good, but the food was a bit disappointing. Two people had smash burgers but they were not smashed and it was not the advertised brioche bun. My roast pork was fine but needed the hot peppers. I asked a few times but finally assumed they were not available. The Bolognese was the best dish. I really want to love this place since we can walk to the location, but it just comes up a bit short.

Very nice environment. The food was okay. Nothing outstanding really. Nice location as well. My brussel sprouts were very greasy, not a lot of flavor and burnt. My salad was good though. My friends enjoyed the wings though. This was my first time there. However, I would probably give it another try.
The Fort Kitchen & BarResponded on June 25, 2025

We went for fathers day. The prix fix menu was mostly sold out. The cost of the food was not worth it

Everybody taste is absolutely different, but I personally did not care for it. I had the Italian pork sandwich comes with broccolini, spinach, sharp provolone and roasted red peppers. I did ask for no peppers and I received them anyway, I ask for truffle fries and they put the oil on the side and no parmesan cheese, she brought out a side of cheese and the fries were cold they were an up charge as well that was fine, but can you put it together. There was also up charged for a lemon drop, Up charge for extra onion on a sandwich.

The pace of the meal was slower than expected. The server was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Our food was outstanding and offered great value. This was our first visit and glad our experience was positively memorable!
