text: It been while since wrote a five star review Forte is a place that exceeded my expectations not only the food but overall experience was very unique Lot of things that stood out for me The fact that small family run business off the strip not in mega hotel very reasonable price interior design screaming personality and am NOT fan of Tapas style of eating but Forte made me FAN I came to Forte with my cousins from the visiting also avid yelpers and enjoy food like myself The few times get together over the years here or back home about trying something new I was excited too get bookmark off my list and just enjoy time around OhanannI knew the interior design has personality from watching the episode on DDD What you see on television can never prepare you for the real thing I loved every bit of it Really small restaurant maybe holds people the bar area is also small just one row of bar stools and the dining room is divided into two sections Each one having its own personality Lot of bright colors all kinds of different tables booths and even the chairs few different ones so really nothing uniform or the same look around from any angle The artwork assume someone did lot of Day of the Dead influence not that came as surprising since european melting pot of food One artwork that thankfully my cousins pointed out they did Guy Fieri head with the show logo and his signature on the wall Hell of cool It literally feels like walking into another world once open the front doornnThe food thankfully hanging out with the right peeps or Ohana this night I got too try lot of the menu We ordered decent amount of food for three of us Six items in all To go back to my earlier point reasonable price our bill was before tip and we were stuffed Two of us had drink so the bill would have been cheaper if not in the drinking mood The HH price for drinks on all of them Steal of deal I stuck with beer but my cousin had one of the vodka drinks I pass on trying but she told me was very tasty nnHomemade chicken soup was pleasantly surprised We all thought ok on cold night get some soup It might be bland your basic soup Instead this little bowl packed bowl full of goodness The broth was really tasty had depth ample amount of shredded chicken in it nice portion of vegetables and really tasted like fresh Homemade soup On chilly day could get super size bowl be soup HappynnStuffed Grape Leaves was really good I really enjoyed the filling The ground pork or assume pork had great seasoning and flavor The sauce brought everything together along with the grape leaves nnBeef Stroganoff Ragu was another winnah Again one of those dishes just give me super size plate be happy with one dish The pasta dumplings was on point between the filling and the rich thick creamy hearty stroganoff meat sauce It heavy pasta dish but so goodnnSpanish Rice not sure forgot called but talk about bowl of rice It look more like paella without all the seafood or the saffron It was popping with flavor Not protein in it Talk about flavors It was really good ricennThe star of the show the one dish excited about Bulgarian Mixed Grill Two dishes that was featured on the show This was the one most looking forward too and past on the clay pot dish Awesome Not only the three different meats I enjoy the three different sides The beans and the red pepper something perfect compliment If one dish NEED too order if first time many times or only time this is the one nnThe only dish that not fan of was the Octopus in Olive Oil Yay it has really nice depth of Olive Oil had the Octopus Saying sometimes can have too much of good thing Olive Oil was the killer for me The rice that served with was bland not very good dish overallnnOutside of the one dish everything was awesome All the food felt like had great depth of flavor LOVE LOVE the atmosphere very much different then most restaurants in Vegas Great spot to hang out with family or friends over drinks some food and weekend they even have live music The service was fabulous Looking forward too my next visit
