   we were seated right away. Our server was very nice and patient. It was a little cold when we first got there. 1st time visit, we will be back *Only issue was there was no parking spots available and we had to park fairly far up the road and walk. (I'm sure the residents of the area don't appreciate that. Maybe consider valet service

   Atmosphere is great. The menu is small and more bar food than anything else. If you keep it to burgers and flatbreads you’re good.

   All in all it was just good. Not amazing but not horrible. We did have to wait quite a bit past our reservation time to be seated because we had a party of 7, and they had to wait for a couple of tables to clear so they could combine them for us. The food was really good. Not picture worthy but it was good. Upscale, pricey bar food mostly. Our waitress did a really good job handling our party and was very attentive. The noise level here was really loud. The patrons were an older crowd and actually super loud. We could barely carry on a conversation at our table. Do I “need” to go back? No. I tried it and that’s enough for me.

   First time at The Fort. Server was very nice and attentive. Food was tasty but noise level was a bit high at first but settled as people left. It was a positive experience and I would go again.

   Exceptional cleanliness throughout. Service was very good. It’s a limited menu. Soup was good. Salads with chicken were slightly bland and less than very tasty. We may go back to try cheesesteak and flatbreads.

   It’s a pretty standard bar to watch sports. Food and service were good. Drinks were pricey, but not spectacular. The decor and seating is nothing special with views of car dealerships.

   Our waitress was adorable. She offered her advice on the menu items and gave us enough time to look at the menu. We ate a ton of apps and they were all delicious definitely will go back

    Overall, this time, I just don't feel the need to go back. I'll start by saying our waitress was great, as were our adult beverages. But this time, the food was simply so-so. My pork sandwich was dry, and I've ordered it twice before where it was delicious. My friend had the white flatbread, which looked unappealing and blah altogether. And finally, the noise level is off the charts loud. (we were there b'twn 5:30 - 6:45). This alone makes for a horrible dining experience. I'd say if you don't get there early for dinner, say 4:00- 5:00 pm, don't go at all... you won't be able to hold a conversation without raising your voice!
