The Forge Restaurant | Wine Bar Miami Beach steakhouse

Food is good but wait is too long. It takes forever to get anything you order. They must do better than that.

At the first moment you enter this restaurant the personel give you a good feeling. Very hospitable waiters, it is a kind restaurant to go out with your friends or with your date. heavenly food, experienced chief cook and stuff, competitive cost and attentive service. Highly recommended.

Beautiful design. The food is great. Of course, prices are accordingly more expensive than usual .... But this is a very good experience for me. I liked everything very much. Service is good. There is a lot of light in this retro restaurant.

We had a great time at The Forge! We arrived early and there was no one in the restaurant, so we decided to have a drink at the bar. Once we were seated 30 minutes later, the restaurant began to fill up. We were greeted by our server Richard. He truly made our experience memorable! He asked for our names, addressed us by our names throughout the evening, asked us how many years we were married since we were there for our anniversary which was later presented on our dessert, and made an attempt to get to know us without smothering us. We loved his service. The food was delicious! We both had steak and they were cooked to perfection. We later ordered our dessert which was good, but kind of hard to eat because the bottom later of cookie was very hard. They even wrote Happy Anniversary on the plate for us! You have to check out the bathrooms- they are very unique! The women's restroom has a full makeup/hair seating area in front of the mirrors, and the bathroom itself was very well kept. They had a DJ the evening we went, playing current classy "hits" and it was a fun environment, not stuffy like some high end restaurants. If you are visiting Miami, I'd highly recommend The Forge, and request Richard Delabatt to be your server!

Pros: the place is different; romantic, eclectic atmosphere; porterhouse steak was delicious and cooked just to right point Cons: - freezing (why do they have to put the aircon to winter temperatures??), - waitress came to our table waaaay too many times (yes there is such a thing as too much service when you’re trying to have a romantic evening), - while the soufflé (ordered the marble one) was interesting, you need to order ice cream and strawberries separately and between service and tax this adds up to 45 (!) USD for a good but not outstanding dessert. Outrageous.

Eclectic ambiance with good food that pleased the palate. I tried the Miami Spice 3 course dinner. The kale salad was flavorful. The entree was amazing with perfectly seasoned lemon pepper chicken over creamy mashed potatoes and green beans. This was on a Feed Your Soul Sunday so my dinner companion and I also shared a shrimp and grits appetizer. Definitely one of the top 5 recipes I have had the opportunity to taste. The live R&B performances were a welcome addition to the evening. The waitstaff was also very attentive with multiple people helping. So much so that I forgot who our original waiter was at one point! A great place to celebrate a small birthday or have an intimate dinner.
