This was a wonderful meal from start to finish - we celebrated the holidays with our adult kids, we enjoyed festive beverages, perfectly cooked food, and scrumptious desserts. Service was awesome, we weren’t rushed nor was service slow- it was perfectly timed between courses. The price was a bit higher, but the portions and value were worth every penny.

This was our 4th time going to Dino’s, & decided to take another couple (best friends) for the husband’s birthday. Every time we’ve gone, the wait staff have been attentive & outstanding, & the food has been excellent every time! The other couple was quite impressed & are wanting to go back with us again. The only negative this time, was it was on a Saturday evening, & it was packed to say the least. The noise level was a little too much for me, but all in all, a great experience! I highly recommend the meatballs & ricotta! Over the moon for them…👍🏻

I have been dining at Leo's for years. It is a favorite. I usually order a veal dish, but this evening I ordered a salmon dinner and it was really delicious. Leo's is 16 miles from my house and that tells you a lot.

Our servier, Noemie was fantastic! She was very attentive but not intrusive. She got our orders accurately and our drinks throughout our meal were served promptly. The person who brought our drinks and dessert was also very attentive. It may have been the owner, not sure. It was our anniversary and they brought a complimentary glass of champagne for each of us which was a lovely gesture. The food was also amazing. We will definitely go back.

Always a great experience at "The Forge". Service is excellent, drinks are great, food is terrific, ambiance is wonderful. Highly recommend trying some of the appetizers as well as some of the signature cocktail drinks. The main courses are always wonderful - you don't make a mistake with any of them. It's also the only place where we always have dessert - they are creative and wonderful. Enjoy!
