" I had high hopes for Forte Mediterranean Bistro after reading all the positive reviews. While the food was generally good, I found the gyros to be somewhat lacking in flavor compared to what I've had in Greece. The service was friendly, yet it took a while for our orders to arrive, and we faced a slight mix-up in our dishes. The ambiance was nice enough for a quick dinner. Overall, I would say it’s worth a visit, but lower your expectations for the authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm becoming a regular here! The freshness of the food keeps me coming back. My favorite is their spicy chicken kabob—so flavorful! I also love the fresh salad option—great for a light meal. The service is always caring and makes you feel at home. Top choice for Mediterranean cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time dining at Forte Mediterranean Bistro and I absolutely loved it! The place is very clean, and the staff were super friendly. I ordered the filet plate, and it was delectable! Fresh ingredients, well-cooked, and perfectly presented. It felt like I was enjoying a home-cooked meal. I also indulged in their fresh lemonade, which was a refreshing complement to my meal. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to friends and returning myself. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere is pleasant, I was let down by my meal. I ordered the chicken kabob, and although the chicken was tender, I found the seasoning to be quite bland. I was expecting a burst of flavor but it was average at best. The service, however, was top-notch; our server was attentive and friendly. If they could enhance their seasoning, this place could easily be a favorite. I might give it another try in hopes of better luck. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing good things, I visited Forte Mediterranean Bistro for dinner. The chicken kabob was tasty, but the vegetables on the side looked undercooked and didn't have much flavor. The interior was nice and tidy, but the wait staff was a bit inattentive. Given its reputation, I expected a bit more, but overall, not a bad experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Forte Mediterranean Bistro! The chicken & filet kabob combo was divine—packed with flavors that transported me straight to the Mediterranean. The grilled veggies were a bit sparse but still tasty, and the taste of everything made up for it. The staff was encouraging, and the restaurant was immaculate. If you’re looking for a satisfying meal with delightful service, don’t miss this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Forte Mediterranean Bistro is definitely a gem in the area. I visited after hearing rave reviews, and they did not disappoint. The lemon chicken kabob was bursting with flavor—perfectly seasoned and juicy. I also loved the cucumber salad; it had just the right amount of feta cheese. The atmosphere was relaxed with soothing music in the background, making it a perfect spot for lunch. I will be back soon! Highly recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)
