Joe Forte's is a very loud and busy restaurant that serves some very good seafood.
There was a long wait for a table so the wife and I headed to the oyster bar to sit down and dine there.
Our caretaker/raw bar man was Oyster Todd (it said so on the check and his name badge). Oyster Todd was a cocky young guy who felt he knew everything about oysters and steered you to his favorites that were in season at the time. There were some varieties that I had not had before and Oyster Todd was not opposed to providing a free sample to sway me to his tastes. He did not disappoint, selections were great.
Wife and I both had fresh fish that were done just the way we requested and tasted delicious.
Although Joe Forte's may seem like a touristy trap restaurant, it proved a very rewarding dining experience on this evening
