The Forge review by ginny weeks

The Forge was recommended to me by a friend and he usually has very good taste so I thought i'd give it a go. The restuarant was very disappointing. The atmosphere was very quiet and the tables were too close together (which I hate). The waiters were slow and when we ordered a bottle of white wine it arrived completely un-chilled. When I remarked on this to the waiter he simply looked at me and agreed!! So I asked for another chilled one this time?!! The starters were cooked well but werent worth the price tag. I had fillet steak for main and my partner had risotto. My steak was very average and was definately medium- not medium rare. The side vegetables that came with it were soggy and unappetising. My partners risotto was cooked well but was overly fishy and had bits of grit in it (from the mussels i presume). We thought we'd try the puddings as they are usually a safe bet so we shared a chocolate pudding- this was bland and moussy- not what we were looking for at all.

I would not recommend this place to anyone.
