" The Forge is a delightful find! I had the pleasure of indulging in their vegetarian offerings, particularly the baba ganoush and the falafel, both bursting with flavor. What struck me as a unique twist was the attention to detail in their craft cocktails; the bartender even recommended a drink based on my taste preferences, which was a hit! Perfect for group outings or a romantic dinner, this place truly delivers on all fronts! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Forge is an absolute gem! The ambiance is cozy yet chic, and the Mediterranean-inspired menu will blow your mind. The hummus had the perfect creaminess, and the wood-fired pizzas were heavenly! I could eat here every weekend. Don't skip on their specialty cocktails - each one is a masterpiece. I felt like I was transported to a trendy lounge in Europe! Highly recommend for date nights or gathering with friends. " (*Curated Review*)
