Delicious food. Lots of options for people who enjoy seafood or American food. The Maui onion soup was amazing. Sea bass, lamb chops and wine was very good. We would come back again.

Went to 230 for the first time earlier this month for a work party and liked it so much that I brought my parents only a few days later. Service was standout both visits, and every bite was delicious - easily recommend the fried brussles, Parker House rolls, hazelnut halibut, garlic salmon, and chocolate croissant bread pudding.

After reading all the positive reviews, my wife and I had high expectations for an enjoyable dinner at 230 Forest Ave. Restaurant. Unfortunately, the Parker House rolls were the highlight of our meal.
It seemed dark and noisy inside the restaurant (which was dominated by a large bar in front) so we decided to sit on the makeshift patio. I started with the fresh mixed greens which were lightly tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I wanted fresh fish so I ordered the day’s special, a nut-crusted halibut with pineapple salsa. It was a thick cut, and flash fried, so I expected it to be moist and flaky on the inside. Even though this is the peak season for fresh halibut, my fish was dry, tasteless, and obviously frozen. However, the shoestring fries it came with were very good. My wife’s scallops from the regular menu tasted a bit off, as if they had been sitting around for a while. They were served over risotto which was very rich and creamy.
Service was good but nothing special. Overall, we felt that we spent way too much for an average dinner.

I ventured into this establishment for happy hour, but ended up staying for dinner due to the incredible food options. For me, the highlight of the meal was the lamb - it was absolutely delicious. I also sampled the scallops and risotto, both of which were amazing. They had great drink options. Despite the elegant interior of the restaurant, I decided to sit outside and enjoyed some fresh air while I ate.
Overall, I would recommend a visit to this restaurant!

Good food, good service, fun atmosphere. Each entree is about two dollars too expensive, therefore the four-star rating.
Martinis are kind of unique, and they are good. Not great; not quite write home to mom about. But, solid. Give one (or more) of them a try.
For an appetizer, go with the calamari. It's a bit of a twist on the usual, with the Kung Pao flavor adding just that special kick.
Onion soup is spectacular; an interesting twist on a classic. Garlic salmon is a good entree.
