    Kudos to Forno for creating a fun seasonal pop-up speakeasy in the basement for the holidays. Decorations, including vintage video, set the mood for apres-ski R&R. Special themed drinks were great, especially the espresso martinis, and the six of us devoured the fondue. Would've been nice if they'd offered a couple more menu items like personal-size pizzas/flatbread from the kitchen upstairs, and maybe a little bigger assortment of dipping items for the cheese fondue than just orange cubed bell pepper, bread, and apple slices (maybe more fruit?), but the whole experience was enjoyable on our pop-up pub crawl.

    My fiance and I were in town for his birthday and wanted to have a nice dinner to celebrate! Martini was phenomenal. I had the house dirty martini and the stuffed olives were to die for. My fiancé had an old fashioned and said it was good as well. The loaded focaccia is out of this world!!!! We both got the tenderloin main entree and it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. 10/10 will be coming back to Columbus for dinner here again!
