Not sure why the reviews are mediocre for this restaurant. We just went and had a great meal with some friends, and while it was pricey, the quality of the food was worth it. As far as the ambience, it has exposed brick and some pipes, but I believe they are going for an urban vibe. The service was excellent, which you would expect, but it's ...

My wife and I went to Fore Street for our anniversary. I was a little dissapointed to see that it wasn't more elegant. The atmosphere is certainly nice in a pub-type way, but considering the prices, should have had more ammenities. I can't really remember what my wife had, but I had scallops in a nice sauce. The price for 5 scallops was ...
