Wow! Had dinner here on Saturday evening, and it will go down as one of life's memorable meals! We started off with cocktails from the extensive list, and they were delicious. Served to us by a lovely cheerful and smart young waiter, we enjoyed them immensely. We were then shown to our table in the restaurant, and chose to share THE TOMAHAWK! Oh Em Gee! Stunning 20oz of chargrilled heaven, that would have Desperate Dan struggling to finish! Throughout our meal we were chatting with various staff members about the food, and all were so lovely to talk to, and so eager to make our dining experience as good as possible. Forge is literally a stone's throw away from Bank underground station, and unlike a lot of establishments in the City, opens at weekends. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, it was simply brilliant. If going during the week, I'd recommend booking in advance, since we have been disappointed previously, when we arrived on spec, as it is exceedingly busy with City workers, especially around teatime. The weekend has an altogether different, relaxed and comfortable vibe - the state of the art char grill guarantees 1st rate food, and the lovely staff will top it off by delivering service par excellence! Can't wait to return!
Such a great venue, the cocktails are the best in the city and the staff are so attentive and friendly!! I got food too and it doesn’t disappoint... overall a top evening!!
I work near Bank so Forge is very convenient for lunch with colleagues or a meeting over coffee.
The food is always freshly prepared on the open grill which sometimes takes a little longer, but it's worth the wait! Tasty, juicy burgers, crunchy chips...I particularly like the salmon wholefood salad for lunch as it's substantial but still light. The elder-flower spritz is great for a non-alcoholic lunchtime drink.
Staff are always friendly and welcoming with a smile.
I am looking for an opportunity to pop in for cocktails after work one evening as the vibe always seems really easy when I walk past (hint hint Tom/Simon ;-)).
