The Forge Banquet Hall

This place is ancient (not in the good way, but in a seedy and mostly dirty way), and could probably use with either some serious cleaning and redecorating or perhaps a demolition crew.
Two words: eye sore.

I went to visit the forge recently because I was looking at possible venues for my wedding. When we first pulled up I realized it was a «motel» which seems a little cheap to me. However, the actual motel office is separate from the banquet hall which I think is a good set up. When we first walked inside, I thought it looked pretty nice. We saw there was a nice outside place to have a ceremony and also a covered area outside you could have a cocktail hour as well. We visited the different rooms, but paid most attention to the biggest one because that would most likely be ours if we decided to have our wedding there. There was a nice view of the outside ceremony area from the big windows, however the windows were very cloudy and dirty. The decorative curtains and tablecloths were stained, and the chair covers were a real thin material and were different shades of white. The restroom looked like one you would find in a public high school. It just looked rusty, paint chipped, and not well kept. I would not be at all surprised if there was writing on the doors of the stalls. The person we spoke to about the place did not speak very good English. He was also very confusing when talking about the different options for the menus. We kept asking him to repeat himself or help us understand better what he meant, but he would just start talking about something else. We began wondering if he even knew how the event would be ran. The price was lower than some of the other places I visited, but he said the price will go up about $ 5 next year. However, it seems to me that you could pay just a little extra and get a place that includes a lot more and looks a lot fancier. All in all, it was not a place I would want to have my special day. I would only recommend this place to someone who would be willing to look past what I consider to be a cheap looking place.

I have been to The Forge restaurant a handful of times. Though the food is relatively OK, expect to wait a VERRRY long time to get your food — especially on busy nights. They only have one chef and quickly get backed up. I have waited over 90 minutes to get served. This past time visiting, my friends and I decided to leave after waiting for almost 1.75 hours (at this point it was 8:45pm) and our meals still had not yet arrived. Even after waiting all that time we were offered no free drinks, no free food, no additional bread, and no compensation — only excuses. I suspect that this restaurant caters to locals and gives better service to those that frequent the restaurant. We saw many people who arrived after us getting their meals while we continued to wait. If the servers don’t recognize you, don’t expect a meal any time soon.
