    When ordering, I should have asked the price of the "Special" which our waitress narrated to us, as it turned out to be pretty expensive compared to the chicken dishes on the menu. That is why I did not rate VALUE as a 5, but a 4. Otherwise, everyone at our table seemed very happy with the food. The noise level was "energetic", as the open table system likes to explain the highest level, when all the tables are filled and everyone is trying to converse... That is why I did not rate AMBIENCE as a 5, but a 4. Otherwise, I very much enjoyed the holiday decorations and the low-level background music. We hope to return again during warmer weather to try the outdoor seating.

    Our experience was the best it could be because of the recommendations and explanations from Mike. He was available through every phase of dining and we thoroughly enjoyed everything from our wine to our entree choices. And the atmosphere was just perfect. It is evident that the staff was extremely knowledgable and wanted every guest to have the best experience possible.

    Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.

    Food was delicious as well as the mojito's. Many had arepas and loved them. We also had empanadas which were very good as well. I had the Venezualan Pabellon which was delicious!. Will definitely go back to try other dishes.
