i worked at the forge. its not the best place to work at. unemployed people always come in and ask if we have any openings and we give them applications. then our assistant manager keeps hiring and hiring new people. they keep hiring people that is unnecessary!!! i come in on my one shift that i get every week (because we are over staffed), looked at the schedule and then i have no shifts! this place treats their employees like dirt. seniority means nothing to this place. everybody there has a 2nd job. sometimes a 3rd because this place doesn't give you enough shifts to live on. to all the people who say it has bad service, I can explain Why: it actually depends on the time, day you come in. because when a server gets slammed (has all there tables filled up, a server can have up to 7 tables to serve, maybe more) it gets pretty hectic, and stressful. they want to do everything right and not mess up an order etc. they are sometimes rushed because the hostess/host sits 5 tables (ex: 5 different families at 5 different tables) in their area at a time, so people have to wait a while and think the serves is bad, sometimes. thats not the case in some situations, sometimes the server is having a bad day or they get so busy they forget to smile. but all in all the place does treat their employees like dirt. i put in my 2 weeks once i found another job that had more hours and don't over staff.
Pros: dog menu, the cookie, the setting,
Cons: treat employees like dirt, the wait for a table is long sometimes

The Forge is worth going to just for the atmosphere, the garden patio seating is beautiful and warm with heaters and fireplaces, I loved it. We started out with the calamari which wasn't so good, a little over done, but the entrees were excellent. I tried a pizza which was enough for 2 people, my husband had a pork dish with a mango jalapeņo sauce that was delicious, and the other couple had the special for the night which was steak and were quite pleased. We finished our meal off with the tiramisu...it was sooo heavenly. We'll definitely be going there again and recommending it to our friends.
