Best steak in South Florida – I have been to all the best restaurants for steak and I rate the Forge as the best. I have been coming here now at least once a month because of the super steak and ribeye. I have also tried their seafood which is excellent. In fact, if you are looking to spend a little less, I would recommend their fish/seafood as some of the best as well. Risootto is great too. You're taken care of with wine and service and the inside of the restaurant is beautiful! I have nver had any problems with anything f... read more

Forge all the way! Much different place than I remember. And for the better! The food is still top notch (best steak anywhere), but the late night "party" atmosphere has been replaced by a more elegant and sophisticated night experience. Wine selection is even better and now they have the dispensers that offer a iphone "experience". Very cool. It is worth the experience alone. Food and service is fabulous! Also recommend the tuna.

I like to take my clients out to good restaurants, especially when they come in from out of town. The Forge has been a great place and my clients continually tell me what a great time they have. The reasons for their reactions are pretty simple. The food is unbelievable and the atmosphere is one of a kind. Everything about it makes them feel like a king. I prefer the steaks (especially the ribeye), but I also have to rave about the Risotto. Seems like a fairly simple food to make and yet the Forge makes it with such a great ... read more

Fun, relaxing, great food – Service and atmosphere? Dynamite. Steak? Even better. Wine selection? I think they advertise it as one of the best in the world and I see why. It would be a little overwhelming actually if not for the great service and bartenders and the ability to taste the wines by the ounce. Everything is pretty relaxed and yet they are on top of everything. Glad that I finally came back. Sort of went off my radar after they closed for renovations.

Great wine! Great restaurant! Was at the Forge last night and had a wonderful time. Seems to have changed a bit from the last time I was there. It is still hip and extravagantly decorated. And the food seems to be a little better than I remember, but not as much of a "party" atmosphere. Wine selection is still the best I have seen. I hadn't been in S. Florida for a while so it has been a while, but I had to write about such a great place. Yes, the steaks are the best. Im from up north and there is no place like The Forge in ... read more

The Forge is such a different restaurant. The layout is simply magnificent. I think the best part was tasting the wine. They have really moved into the millenium with their wine tasting machine. You can even use an itouch to order and learn about the wines. Very cool. The steaks are the best. Very friendly staff as well. So glad I live so close to such a great place to dine.

Finally! As advertised! – I have been a little turned off of late when I try new restaurants that advertise things like "best", but The Forge lives up to it's advertisement. I have had steak at some of the best restaurants all over the country and The Forge comes through as, probably, the tops I have had. I did not try some of the other menu items although they looked good and my client said it was great (seared tuna). Wine selection made coming here in and of itself worth it. Also, I love the way they have it decorated- mod... read more

Fun experience/Great food – Was here 2 nights ago. Brought girlfriend. We were thoroughly impressed. I really can't explain because unless you have been inside, you couldn't imagine such a cool and unique place. For example, they have these chandeliers that I have never seen before, but it isn't gaudy (sp?). The seating was really comfortable and yet classy. Food was great. Get the lamb chops. Good mix of couples/business people there. Server (CJ) was really good and the wine was perfect. The whole night was just sensational... read more
