There was a birthday party/dinner and a company wine-down all so there's plenty of room for large groups. Although it took a while to get someone to my table; the service ended up being pleasant. The crab cakes were a little salty but very good and the brussels paired well with them although my meal consisted of an appetizer and a side. Overall it was a chill atmosphere with great views. I recommend going during sunset.

The Quad deviled eggs were an interesting concept. Can't say I'd recommend them. The Signature 205 Dip was not good. It's made with 4 cheeses, but the cream cheese over powers the entire dish. The Stephy cocktail may not be something everyone likes, but I really enjoyed it. Dr. Pepper with bourbon sounds odd, but I loved it. Hopefully you made it this far. The Autumn Ember Dip was fantastic. It was by far the best item we had. If you don't order anything else from the menu, you have to get the dip!! You can't go wrong.

I found them after seeing some of their hilarious videos on social media and decided to give them a try for some Late Night to go food. We got a bacon quesadilla, steak me home tonight bowl, and street corn. The flavor on that steak meat home tonight bowl was incredible! I want to branch out in the menu to some other things, but I don't know if I'm gonna be able to walk away from my new favorite! Everything was packaged up very nicely for me to take back to my hotel which is a huge plus that sometimes is overlooked. Manus took care of the order and answered some menu questions for me so big props to him! On that note, I interacted with a few of the service staff, as I was waiting for My to go food and they were all super friendly so big kudos to the Management for doing such a good job on hiring an excellent staff and making it an environment, where they are happy to work and help the customers. The atmosphere was a chill laid-back vibe. It was comfortable sitting at the bar, and there were several tables throughout. Not too big, not too cramped, it was just right for what I would want on a late Friday night quick dinner. Overall, great food, great service...we will be back!

This was our first visit to Forte in Tuscaloosa, and I really wanted it to be love at first bite…read more The restaurant itself sets the mood perfectly -- clean, stylish, and with a bar area that practically waves you in for a drink before you can say "just water for me." The outdoor seating is a gem, especially on these cool October evenings when the humidity finally gives us a break. Dinner started off strong with a Caesar salad that hit all the right notes -- crisp, fresh, and flavorful. The croutons, though? Let's just say they could double as home defense. Then came my Mushroom Cream Pasta, rich and delicious in flavor, but the noodles were a bit too enthusiastic about staying firm -- more "al dente" than I ordered. My wife's Pan-Seared Salmon fared better -- flaky, well-seasoned, and politely reminding my pasta who's boss. The staff, to their credit, were wonderful -- friendly, attentive, and even comped my dish (which I insisted wasn't necessary). Despite tonight's hiccup, I'll be back. Forte has the charm, the service, and the potential -- I just hope next time my pasta decides to soften up a little!

The ambiance has a cool vibe with fun arcade games. TV monitors plaster the walls with live sports events. The service was phenomenal with happy servers! Great staff! The food was some of the best Cajun food we ever had, with unique twists on some of our favorite dishes. Scrumptious!! I ordered the Voodoo Shrimp and Grits. So good! Sweet honey glaze bacon was wrapped over plump shrimp and cooked to perfection. And the Boudin balls were OMG fabulous, too! My hubby fully enjoyed his dish, a combination platter of catfish, crawfish and shrimp. Of course, I had to taste it... so good!!! The portion sizes were more than enough for a meal, and a late night snack for later. (Trust me, it won't last past the night.) The Service Manager, Latia Horton, took our experience to the next level!! She genuinely chatted with us about how the restaurant was started. As a former Operations Director, it was a pleasure hearing someone talk so passionately about their job and position. Her talent obviously has been recognized, as she mentioned that she had opened several other locations! Kudos to Latia and Walk-Ons!!! We are looking forward to visiting your location in The Colony, Texas!

We sat at the bar and all the chairs at the bar are very uncomfortable and old. They each one we tried rocked back and fourth. It's a cool place to chill, have drinks, and play pool. In our opinion the only good food is the pizza and chicken quesadilla. The wings were ok, nothing special. The fries are ok, they just aren't what I like. I don't care for the seasoning, but that's just preference. The cheese sticks were horrible and tasted chalky. I've never had cheese sticks like that before. We would come back here to hang out and have a couple of drinks, but would only eat pizza or the quesadillas and pass on everything else The other weird thing was, we sat at the bar, ordered our food and did not have any alcoholic beverages. They would not submit our order until we paid for our food first. Normally you pay for food after you eat, but that's not the case here. Service was average.
