Drawing inspiration from the region’s history and natural surroundings, the 156-seat freestanding restaurant reflects elemental themes of wood, water, iron, and fire, reminiscent of the carriage houses and blacksmith shops that once dotted the landscape. The centerpiece of Forge & Vine is an eight-foot wood fired grill and open kitchen with counter seating where guests can enjoy dinner while interacting with the chef. Welcoming residents as well as visitors to the area, Forge & Vine offers a strong sense of place with a design sensibility that brings in the outside with floor to ceiling windows offering breathtaking pastoral views of Gibbett Hill. The restaurant boasts spacious and casual bar with service inside and out and features classic and comfortable cuisine sourced from the best produce, seafood, and meats that New England offers.

    Our waitress was beyond friendly, attentive, and congenial. Food and drinks were fantastic. My favorite part of the experience is that our waitress let us hang around after dinner for a while. I was catching up with a friend I only see about once a year so it was nice to be able to take our time and catch up. I also brought and infant and the restaurant was beyond accommodating. All the staff yielded to me when I took him to the bathroom. Did stars for actually having a changing table in such a classy restaurant.

    We were very excited about trying the Forge and Vine given the number of good reviews. The waitress was lovely. Our dinner started out great. The oysters were delicious. From there it was all downhill. The little lettuce salad was pretty good although the dressing had very little flavor. I had the scallops. The parsnip purée that covered the scallops was really thick and lacked flavor. My husband had the burger which he described as extremely bland. He said he would have preferred Tasty Burger or even a Whopper. Our experience was a huge disappointment.

    My friends and I went to the Sara Waters Medium event and it was fantastic. We really enjoyed it and would go again if she came back, or even another medium. The staff, drinks, food, service and event were top notch. Thank you
