You can’t go wrong with anything at Nightingale’s. Buttermilk fried chicken and the brussel sprouts are divine! So much more to try!

Service by Miles at the bar was outstanding. He instantly made me comfortable. When making recommendations he wanted to know my tastes to help point me in the right direction. He definitely succeeded. With minor adjustments, thanks to Miles, I had the Holiday Kaiseki. NOT ONE BAD BITE from beginning to end of these 7 courses. Fish and seafood, fresh and bright. Wagyu Steak just the right amount of fat. The dessert of eggnog mousse and apple filling. Do I feel guilty? Yes. But I’d do it all over again. A shouldn’t miss meal.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a business lunch at Joe Fortes, and I must say, the service provided by Tim and Heidi was truly exceptional. From the moment we were seated, both Tim and Heidi were attentive, professional, and ensured that every detail was handled seamlessly. Tim’s knowledge of the menu and wine list was impressive, offering thoughtful recommendations that perfectly complemented our meal. Heidi’s warm and personable demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere, making our guests feel comfortable and well cared for. Together, they worked in perfect harmony, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The food, as always, was outstanding, but it was the exemplary service from Tim and Heidi that elevated the experience to another level. Their professionalism and genuine hospitality reflect the high standards that Joe Fortes is known for. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant for any occasion and will certainly request Tim and Heidi on my next visit. Thank you for making our business lunch a memorable success!

Anika was the best server I have ever had. I’d rather never go to another restaurant again than be served by anyone else. She is a queen, a mentor, a vision. I couldn’t have dreamed up service like this if heaven brought down servers and gave them to me at a nice restaurant. The timing was impeccable and Anika deserves a raise of at least 69% PER YEAR. This feels like it’s almost too much, but it’s not. If i met Anika in a dream, I’d wish it was real life.

We really enjoyed our meal again. Excellent server. Nice amd warm on a rainy cold day. Noise level was quiet so we could talk easily to each other. Delicious food and wine. Love the decor. It is a warm and inviting space. Highly recommend.
