Dined here on New Year’s Day for brunch, the restaurant was by no means packed with patrons but there were other tables seated. Waited > 20 min for coffee and other beverages. Then waited another 20 minutes for someone else to take our order who wasn’t our server. 20 minutes later our server returned and had no idea we had already placed our food order. Food came out after 1 hour and 10 minutes after being sat. Food was overall fine, but nothing jaw dropping. One person at our table had a cold plate. Also, was charged twice for an espresso because we had to ask someone else to bring it as our server forgot. Servers had no sense of urgency when they were clearly understaffed and in the weeds Would not return

The food and service was fine for a regular meal but the Thanksgiving experience sucked because it didn't exist. They had run out of the food for Thanksgiving which fine in the end, just kinda disappointing, and i do wish we'd been contacted prior to arriving at the restaurant so we could have made an informed choice. Really good salad and mocktails though

Sat outside for breakfast Friday and the music was so loud. Portions small for value. Would visit again but only for weekend brunch.

This was the first time that I've been to Fora, and the day/occasion was perfect. My wife celebrated her birthday and we ordered the Power Lunch special($25) per person for a 3 course meal. When I say that everything was on point and very good, I'm expressing the truth. This is definitely on my favorites list for Chicago restaurants, especially in the West Loop. Gotta try the shaved brussel sprouts salad!!! 🔥 🔥... The entire lunch time staff were great and provided top notch quality customer service! We plan to visit again and hopefully checkout their rooftop dining.
