Forte's - Crossville

We are expecting better but did leave with full stomachs. We spent $80 for an appetizer, two entrees, and a couple drinks so reasonably priced. I didn't like the meatballs. I got three with the ravioli that were smaller than a quarter in diameter.

Amazing service amazing food literally everything we ordered was great and cooked perfect! Will be back!

My fiancée and I stopped in for lunch today. I had bought her white roses and the staff asked if it was our anniversary. We told them it wasn't and that we just were having a romantic lunch. They made our lunch special and even gave us a piece of cake and a lit candle. The food was wonderful. Staff was great. Highly recommended eating here.

Normally we have a wonderful experience at Fortes but tonight was a complete disappointment… We were set upstairs and there was only one server and he had too many tables to care for alone. We ran out of drinks a few times and had to ask multiple times for refills. I ordered the filet medallions which apparently are now just a single filet, which I did not know until it came to the table. I ordered the steaks medium and it came out rare. I sent it back and it was barely medium rare which is too rare for me. So I asked to speak with the manager. When he came he apologized and said he’d discount my meal. Well when we finally got our check, the “discount” was only 5%!!! It didn’t even cover the cost of the side we paid extra for because my daughter and I were splitting the filets , which she would not eat at all because it was too raw for her. We even had to pay for a share plate which is basically and extra side so that wouldn’t have been a big deal but we just ended up with a slightly larger than normal side. I was so irritated with this visit and probably won’t be back any time soon which stinks because we really love this place normally. So disappointed.

Once you visit, it's pretty easy to see why Forte's is the #1 rated restaraunt in Crossville. We had a simply outstanding experience last night, no small part due to Josh our bartender/server. My wife had the Chicken Meditteranean and I had Mama's Tortellini. Both among the best Italian dishes we've had in a LONG time. Again, ask for Josh; he's terrific. We sat in the bar area, quiet and very cozy. Suffice to say, we'll be back!
