Vibe: Acoustic conundrum dampens date

Ambiance proved a double-edged sword. High ceilings serving as a visual retreat, the same caused auditory disturbances interrupting the overall vibe. The space was judged as too noisy for dates, a lack of privacy and quick to get crowded. But, their selection of wines and imaginatively delicious specialty cocktails compensated to some extent.

    Great selection of wines and very tasty, imaginative, specialty cocktails.

  • Bad Ambiance

    High ceilings cause sound issues, disrupting the overall ambiance.

Perks: Service shines despite seating woes

Parking at Buona Forchetta was deemed a nightmare, and on entering, the noise level overpowers senses in the small, loud space. Reservations posed issues, while the transition to patio seating seemed haphazard. But, their exceptional service shone bright amidst these grievances. Dietary options including great vegan and gluten-free choices, and family-friendly features were also applauded.

  • Great Service

    Exceptional, friendly attentive service consistently highlighted in reviews.
