" I visited Forepaugh's for my birthday and it was quite the experience! The selection of cocktails was impressive, especially the evergreen Collins. I also suggest trying the beet salad as it was full of flavor and freshness. While the Beef Wellington was great, I felt some dishes could have been seasoned better. Despite a couple of minor issues with service timing, the ambiance truly makes up for it. I'd definitely recommend it for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Forepaugh's with colleagues for a business dinner. The atmosphere was perfect for discussion—quiet yet vibrant. The food was quite satisfying, with every dish being well-crafted. The service did fall a little short of perfect as we sometimes felt neglected, though the staff was generous with their time when engaged. I would recommend Forepaugh's; hopefully, my next experience will be improved! " (*Curated Review*)

" A beautiful restaurant with great potential, but the execution fell short during my visit. The food tasted good but there were some memorable misses on the seasoning front. The portion sizes were notably smaller than expected, leaving me a little underwhelmed. Our server was pleasant but seemed overwhelmed by the volume of diners. There’s beauty in the ambiance, which merits a second visit, perhaps when it’s less busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing raving reviews about Forepaugh's, my expectations were high. Unfortunately, I felt let down by the service; we waited quite a while for our drinks. The food itself was satisfactory, but I wouldn't call it particularly outstanding. The atmosphere and vintage setting did provide a lovely backdrop, which I appreciated. Overall, a mixed experience but one I'm willing to revisit in hopes of a better outcome. " (*Curated Review*)

" Forepaugh's has been a favorite of mine for years, and I was thrilled to see it back open! The renovations are simply lovely, maintaining that gorgeous vintage vibe but with modern touches. I indulged in the crab stuffed pasta which was exceptional, while the dessert was a delightful surprise! The staff were warm and created a welcoming atmosphere. If I could change one thing, I would wish for larger portion sizes; however, quality is definitely there! This place is perfect for special celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Forepaugh's, and I was really looking forward to it based on the fantastic reviews. It’s a stunning place that beautifully combines history with a modern twist. My steak was grilled perfectly, although it could have used a bit more seasoning. Service was mostly excellent, with only a few minor hiccups. I plan to come again and will recommend it to my friends without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant is just beautiful! I went with friends after hearing so many good things. The atmosphere is elegant, yet you feel comfortable there. We tried various appetizers, and the sweet pea tortelloni stood out as a favorite. Even though I enjoyed the taste of the Beef Wellington, it felt a bit under-seasoned. Our server was friendly but a bit scattered, which made the experience a little less enjoyable. I'm excited to return, hoping for a more consistent service experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)
