This was by far one of the best brunches I've experienced in Chicago! Our server was exceptional and attentive and gave such great suggestions, and the food was beyond words. If the Fora french toast is on the menu...GET. IT. IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!! How do they make it crispy and fluffy and magical??? Also...the yogurt parfait....my GOD. How do you make a yogurt parfait taste that good??!! Anyway...it was all beautiful. The music was amazing from the DJ and the ambiance and atmosphere was on point. DEFINITELY going back!

Great service and atmosphere but all dishes were very salty. Flavors were nice, combination of spices excellent, but too heavy on the salt. Looks great for cocktails and prices were reasonable. Staff was lovely.

I BOOKED THIS PLACE FOR MY FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. THE AMBIENCE WAS TOP TIER! FROM THE BEGINNING TO END THE SERVICE, MUSIC, AND FOOD WAS AWESOME. BEN WAS OUR SERVER AND HE WAS THE BEST! WE HAD A BOOTH THEN AFTER PAYING THE BILL, WE MOVED TO THE COUCHES TO JUST CHILL OUT AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. WHAT A VIBE! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TO BEN AND THE ENTIRE STAFF...

Drinks were great, the rest sub-par. We ordered a few apps/small plates to share; nothing really stood out. Service was lacking and slow. Knowledge of the food items was limited, including server reassuring us a dish was vegetarian despite it having meat even after we asked multiple times due to a dietary restriction. No sincere apology was even offered. If I ever return, I'd stick to drinks only.

I just wanted a drink at the bar and the paloma was great! I highly recommend it if you like tequila.

Fora ambiance was amazing! Live music, small noise volume, great service, spacious setting, comfortable booths!! Food just mediocre; no real WOW factors for food. A great place for drinks and conversation.

We weren't greeted by a server because of confusion about who had the table, and while food runners were helpful, we had to flag down the server for everything. She was spending her time cleaning behind the bar and never checked on us and never brought water when we asked. The food was ok, but not amazing.

Restaurant is in a boutique hotel lobby across from Google HQ in Chicago. Lovely atmosphere and service. Comfortable tables with couches for booths. We enjoyed the food, we went during restaurant week. Kitchen was understaffed so food was slow, but they gave us a free round of drinks while we waited.
ordered the short rib and got food poisoning. very unfortunate experience.

The vibes in here are really good but the food was just not it for the price. We went during breakfast/brunch, and I had the Greek yogurt, an almond milk latte, and the avocado toast.The Greek yogurt is really good but the avocado toast was avocado on toast. It was a big cut of bread and very little flavor.I would say the prices are for the ambiance and not for the food.

Saturday night 's ladies night here was a success!I was able to book a reservation here during restaurant week and I was ecstatic. This is a new restaurant to me so I was highly anticipating something different. So of course with the restaurant week you have a pre fix menu. For my particular order I went with the guacamole as the appetizer which was amazing. Nice size portion that came with chips. Also some pork rinds which I did not eat. I gave those away and a nice serving of guacamole with little slices of jalapeno and pomegranate seeds. That was an excellent choice onto my main dish. I went with the salmon and I want to say it was no more than maybe 5 oz That was accompanied by quinoa and vegetable puree. I would say that was really good. I taste some type of undertones like a vinaigrette. Pretty good. Definitely would have liked a bigger portion but I know it's restaurant week since some places are a little skimpier. Also came with a dessert and it was the chef special and it really reminded me of a coffee tiramisu, dessert jar. Our waitress was very nice. Food came out properly and to drink the wine and cocktail. This is extensive. I didn't know what to get so I ended up just getting prosecco and a splash of passion fruit juice. It was really good. For drinks drinks they are definitely on the pricier side but they do have happy hour. I definitely will be back to partake in that. I love this space. It's inside the Emily hotel as I understand the rooftop Cinema is located in it in this building as well. A wonderful addition to the area and I can't wait to come back. Actually metered parking or garages are close by as well.

I've been a couple of times there one time in the spring and last time in the late autumn .The place it's so beautiful and has an avangard style.The cocktails are amazing and on Wednesday they have half price for the bottle of wines , the service it's amazing. Brock made us feel so special and the cocktails were amazing. The food it's also delicious. I tried the last time the spicy shrimps with baked potatoes so yummy . They have a heated patio so it's nice anytime of the year. Definitely a must try place and you'll not gonna be disappointed.
