   The side rooms are far too loud - I mean really loud! Not sure if it’s the glass partitions that keep the sounds confined to the small rooms but it needs to be corrected. Service was amazing though - friendly and made great recommendations

   Service was great, food was good. Noise level is way too loud and the child at the table next to us having a temper tantrum and then coughing for the rest of dinner was disgusting! Sorry I won’t be back.

   First visit to the former Friendly’s place. Enjoyed the tempura cauliflower appetizer. Hubby enjoyed his French onion soup. Ordered the airline chicken for self and other family members ordered the filet. The chicken had a nice lemon flavor taste. The wild rice was very crunchy and tasted uncooked. The asparagus looked like trees. The filet was tasty but it sits on a giant pile of blistered cherry tomatoes that looked unbalanced. The cannoli dessert was delicious. Nice to get two of them together.

   It was ok. I think I’d like it more outside when the weather is nicer, not a formal dinner spot but it’s nice inside.

   This was my 2nd time at The Fort. I ordered the grain bowl both times and it was just as good this time. My mushroom toast appetizer came out cold, which was very strange. I took most of it home and heated it up, which was much better. Our server was lovely and attentive. My only complaint is how noisy it is. I understand if the bar area is loud, but both of the dining rooms are so loud, it is hard to have a conversation. I wish that the rooms had some noise reduction tiles.

   Very loud - difficult to carry on a normal conversation.
