The Forge, Miami Beach

In honour of The Forge's 40th Anniversary in 2009, The Forge closed for a major renovation that would last almost a year. The result: an inspired farm-to-table menu and lifestyle approach to dining are all elements of The Forge's new attitude. The award-winning restaurant has undergone a total makeover, the overall design and decor executed by Francois Frossard. walls of hand-carved blonde wood and antique smoked mirror, octopussian lilac and white crystal chandeliers, and an eclectic mix of upholstered and metal furniture. The elimination of more than 100 seats has created the ambiance of a large private home where every diner's seat is "the best in the house." The open floor plan of the 6,000-square-foot space allows guests to see and be seen.Executive Chef Dewey LoSasso presents a 65-item menu broken down by Savory Snacks, Starts, Pastas, Grains & Risotto, Principal Meats, Principal Fish & Crustaceans, Salads and Sides. Enomatic's offer guests 80 wines by the ounce.
