   Very good experience. Had a 4:15 reservation and arrived early and our table was occupied so we hung around and it was ready on time. Waitress was very good and attentive, Overall very good experience.

   Thanks for sharing your experience, Joseph! We’re glad to hear you had a great time and that everything came together right on schedule. It’s great to know your server took good care of you and that the ambiance stood out. If there’s anything we could’ve done to bump the food or hospitality up to 5 stars – or if there’s something we could improve on value – we’d love to hear your thoughts. Your feedback helps us fine-tune the experience. We hope to see you again soon for another visit on historic Aviles Street!

   The food was outstanding. Very unique restaurant, decorated for the theme of the holidays and the menu was aligned accordingly! We had the Shrimp and grits, Roasted Chicken and 2 burgers. All were excellent. Meatballs and bread were great appetizers. Great service as well! Amelia was our server and she was excellent.

   Forgotten tonic has a fun atmosphere, especially at Christmas time. Everything is expensive and I’m OK with that if the food is amazing but none of it was. $50 for a chewy Hanger steak with mashed potatoes topped with potatoes, shrimp bisque was salty and I love Salt, but this was too much. I thought my husbands swordfish was too fishy.

   Thanks for the feedback, Allison. We're glad you enjoyed the festive atmosphere, but I’m sorry the food didn’t quite hit the mark. We appreciate you letting us know about the hanger steak, bisque, and swordfish – that’s definitely not the experience we aim for. Did you happen to mention any of this to your server, Allison? We always appreciate the opportunity to correct things in the moment. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’d love to have you back for a better experience. Let us know if there’s anything we can do to make your next visit more enjoyable!

   What a nice experience and atmosphere for night of lights. Got a last minute reservation day before and was surprised how cute this place was. Food was good. Recommend the artichoke dip! Burger was cooked to heat request. Will definitely reserve here in future.

   We like this place for the food, staff, and atmosphere! Takes you back in time and it feels like you are in a speak easy from the 1920's. Food is always great, as well as the drinks! Alice, our server was helpful and attentive to our needs and the lack of ability to pick something on the menu with so many good choices!

   Tom, we’re so glad you felt transported by the atmosphere – we love that old-school speakeasy vibe, and it’s great to hear it hit the mark for you! Allison will be thrilled to know she made your experience even better, especially with all those tempting menu options. We’re happy the food and cocktails continue to impress, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable visit. Thanks for the amazing review!

    This is our second New Years visit for late lunch - this was a fun Miracle Popup Christmas restaurant and it was so much fun! The service was outstanding and we so enjoyed our drinks and food. The extra added fun of the light up hats made it a true celebration. There was sparkle and lights and holidays everywhere and it's now our go-to for New Years Eve lunch, and we'll visit other times during the year as well. Thank you, John Moore and our server, Ashley, for making this a really fun outing for the adults and kids, as well. Happy New Year and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the glowing review, and Happy New Year to you and your family!
