    The food was delivered cold and was very tasteless. The restaurant was freezing and it felt like they had the air conditioning on. Everyone had their coats on. It will be a long time before I return.

    It was good, but not great. Service was outstanding, food was average. For example, dressing on caesar salad had was overbearing and way to much pepper. Had asked for the dressing on the side, but that was not an option. Ordered Filet medium rare, the steak was flavorful and tender, but was cooked medium well. Dessert was excellent. Waitress said the Salmon was the best thing on the menu, next time I'll try that.

    The family had burgers, fried chicken sandwich and the roast pork sandwich. All were very well received. Drinks were excellent and our server was on the ball. It’s great to have a new quality place in the neighborhood

    Our waitress was friendly, quick and very engaging. You could tell everyone seemed to really enjoy working in this restaurant. We ordered the crispy Brussels Sprouts which were very good and the Chicken sandwich with fries. If I had to list just one negative it would be the noise. It was really hard to hold a conversation with the person sitting right next to me. But all in all The Fort is a great restaurant and a welcome addition to the area.

    Parking was hard as it was busy and the parking lot is not large enough for the crowd. Food was good and it’s a very nice place. Service was excellent and they even went over the one entree with someone who was dairy intolerant. A little pricey.

    Our server (I think Maggie) was excellent! Service all around was plentiful (bus, clearing, etc) and attentive. The drinks were yummy (alcoholic and a mocktail). I loved that I asked for a zero proof gimlet and they somehow made it! I got Caesar salad with shrimp and it was great, but the tuna tartar app was a lot of cucumber. Smash burger lacked some flavor, but my husband skipped the cheese. With cheese it’s probably be better.
