The Forge Review

Like many of its most loyal, uh, seasoned customers, The Forge underwent a major nip/tuck and traded its dark roots for a lighter, blonder look and a menu that focuses on organic, locally sourced foods. The bar is stunning in a refreshingly rich, not stark, way, and its electronic dispensing wine system turns oenophiles into kids on a video-game bender at the Chuck E. Cheese's, only with booze. Good booze, of course. Thankfully the old-school wine cellar, one of the country's best, still remains just that. Menu by Chef Dewey LoSasso offers a modern, largely organic twist on everything, from seafood and salads to pastas and steaks. Yes, the classic Forge Super Steak is still on the menu to the delight of many. This re-imagined Forge is nothing like its previous incarnation as a bacchanalian den of decadence, so no more raucous parties or weekly see-and-be-scene fests. Sure, it's decadent, but it's much more subtly so, just like its customers.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
