I reserved a table through open table which really helped the wait time. I only waited about 15 minutes , they were pretty busy around the time I went. Just from looking around the restaurant is not that big. I wouldn't suggest large parties but that just my opinion. My server Ava was super friendly and check on me often but was did not bother too much which I like when dining out when alone. The food came out fairly fast and hot even though they did seem pretty busy. I had the lobster rolls which were really good. They cheese was a nice touch to them. I do which there was a different sauce paired with it. I was not a fan of the red sauce. The filet was really tender, butter knife smooth cut and the dessert was also good. I'm not much of a crust fan so I just ate the top and inside but overall everything was good. They do also valid parking if you park in the Wake Forest parking deck which is good to know!

We tried Forchetta during Restaurant Week and enjoyed it but also wasn't super blown away. I ordered the Lobster Roll, Green Tea Salmon, & Flourless Chocolate Cake. The lobster roll was pretty tasty and came out piping hot but I didn't taste any lobster in it at all, just mainly noodles. The salmon came perfectly cooked but a little bland. The sweet potatoes provided a little sweetness. The best item I tried was the cake- it was dense, fudgy & rich. I almost ordered another to-go! Another plus was our waitress was lovely and kept our drinks full. Overall this place was not bad and I would consider coming back to try more items or maybe even brunch.

I visited here during Queens Feast restaurant week and was somewhat disappointed with my experience. Based on the pricing of the menu, I expected this spot to be a little more upscale. The ambiance, while pleasant enough, felt more like a hotel casual restaurant and not a nice night out experience. Moving on to the food, I found it to be rather underwhelming. While the dishes were presented nicely, the flavors were surprisingly bland and didn't leave a lasting impression. I was hoping for more depth and creativity, especially during an event like Queens Feast where one expects restaurants to showcase their best offerings. I was also disappointed with the service, as when asked what he recommended he let us know everything on menu was new and they weren't able to try anything so couldn't give us feedback or recommendations. Overall, I was a little unimpressed with this spot. Not sure I'll be back.

Needed something to eat at about 10 pm and this came across my yelp search! There was one server and he asked us to sit at the bar because it was just him. He also had a boot on i felt bad for him he was working so hard for everyone. I got the lasagna and my date got the chicken sandwich. Both pretty decent for a late night spot. Now the dessert was not good to me. It definitely was not made in house and tasted like so. It was a pretty decent meal but I'd like to try it again a bit earlier in the night.

This was a celebration of my daughter's 38th birthday. The salmon was delicious and the wait staff were very nice. I'll be back

So, I have been here several times over the years for buffet lunch, as it is right near work. When they hired Chef Luca, I would go for special occasion dinners. I heard that Luca had left to pursue an exciting opportunity. I was disappointed and afraid to go back, but my friends wanted to go before we headed to JazzArts for a show. I ordered the papperdelle pasta with shrimp and lobster. The flavor levels were amazing! I tried the polenta that came with my guy's ribeye. It was so creamy and flavorful. My couple friends finished their dishes. Everyone was completely satisfied. I am happy we decided to go here tonight

Staff was very pleasant, but the service was spotty. Drinks were slow, and nothing special. The food was average.

Absolutely amazing! Chef Luca made a custom sampler to try a little of all this fan favorites. Not my first visit and definitely will not be my last. I enjoy dining at the bar. Service is aways great. They validate parking at adjacent parking deck (Wakeforest).

Scheduled meal during Queen's Feast and restaurant was 80% of capacity. Waitress provided good service and recommendations. Beet salad was flavorful and plentiful. Filet was very tender [med rare] and cooked correctly.I had the olive oil cake which was really a lemon pound cake which was delicious. My taste-buds exploded. The one hiccup was my drink had not come by the time my meal arrived, so I cancelled it. The other parties received theirs. The Manager came by and offed a complimentary drink so I opted for coffee with desert. I will return.

Nice hotel restaurant/bar with pleasant, attentive staff. Service was very good. And, while I enjoyed my dinner, and the food very good, it was not prepared/served as described in the menu. I ordered wedge salad which arrived without bacon - the first ingredient in the menu description, and pistachio crusted chicken tenders - I couldn't see or taste pistachio in the crust and it arrived with a mound of French fries and ketchup, no honey mustard or red chili sauce which I was very much looking forward to. I'd try this restaurant again.
