I frequently visit La Forchetta and have amazing experiences but this Saturday night was a disaster. The food as always was FANTASTIC. I would reccomend the PORTABELLO MUSHROOM CAP, the muskox, the crispy duck breast, and the pork tenderloin. All menu items are full of flavour and are the perfect portions. The ROSEMARY bread is impeccable.
The service on Saturday was the worst service I have had in any restaurant. We waited patiently at the door for around 5 min, having servers pass us but not even make eye contact. Finally I walked right up to one and asked if we could have a seat. Upon sitting down it took 15 MINUTES for some one to bring us menu's. By this point I was annoyed and being a small restaurant (30 tables MAX) could not find a reason for this. Every time we tried to get a waiters attention he would look away. The waiter also did not bring us out the wine menu. Log story short the rest of our dinner went on like this. From the time we ordered it took us 25 min to get our one appetizer and then after we finished that it took an outrageous 55 min to get our mains. This was disrespectful, annoying, and came with no explanation what so ever.
As we were finishing up the waiter had the nerve to bring us over dessert menus and smack them down on the table. There was no need for his attitude as we had remained positive about the situation the whole time. We politely declined stating that by this time it was 11:30 pm and we had to work in the morning. (We had been there since 8:45)
We went up to the bar to pay as we did not want to wait for the server to bring us the bill.
I love this restaurant, I love the food and they have a fabulous wine selection. This single experience has tainted La Forchetta for me.
