Forte Mediterranean Bistro

This restaurant used to serve excellent food, but the quality has declined significantly in both taste and freshness. The variety of grilled veggies has decreased and they still charge the same price. The chicken, which used to be melt-in-your-mouth, is now chewy and unpleasant. It's disappointing because we used to frequent this place multiple times a week.

I would not recommend ordering the roasted potatoes at this restaurant unless you enjoy cold and soggy frozen hash browns that have likely been microwaved, topped with a hefty amount of raw minced garlic. While their rice is decent and their chicken is good, the portions are small compared to other places for the same price. I wanted to support this new restaurant, but after being disappointed by the quality of the potatoes, I will not be returning. The cleanliness of the restaurant was good, but the restroom was not available. The combo platters I ordered had only a few pieces of meat or chicken, grilled onions, veggies, and mostly rice. Overall, I was underwhelmed and do not believe this establishment will attract a strong customer base.

I came because of the reviews and Forte did not disappoint. Great food, very fresh! Staff was friendly and helpful. Ladera is lucky to have Forte.

LOVED IT! The food was delicious and staff was very friendly and definitely affordable!

I am vegan and was in town from 3 hrs away for my dentist appt across the way (Parker Dentistry) It 's rare I eat out because I cant find any good, clean restaurants with good clean and fresh ingredients and vegan options. I love Meditteranean so we decided to give this a try. And so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, it was very clean cozy. Anna greeted us with a smile and was so patient with all our questions about how the food is prepared and the ingredients used. I avoid unhealthy things like dairy, soy, msg, corn and unhealthy cooking oils. It was nice to know they dont use any of those things but I believe dairy is optional in certain dishes. I had a Mediterranean salad with beets, home made garlic lemon hummus with cucumber slices and fresh tomatoe soup. Thank u Anna for being so patient aand helpful. You made our experience so enjoyable. The food was amazing! We talked about it for days and cant wait to go back! *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
