About this space

Semi-Private Dining is a semi-private dining area in The Forge restaurant, defined by lounge-style leather seating and large windows that flood the space with natural light.

Design: The space pairs patterned tile and wide-plank timber flooring with pressed-metal ceiling panels and dark-painted trim. The interior uses rugs, low tables and planted greenery to create a layered contemporary-industrial look.

Features: The area provides a partially screened layout that separates it from the main dining room while retaining sightlines across the restaurant. The area includes on-site Wi‑Fi, step-free guest access and accessible toilets, and it affords a direct view into the open kitchen and forge grill.

Ideal for: Intimate groups seeking a relaxed, social seated meal in a comfortable, informal setting.

What guests say: The semi-private area is warm and inviting and benefits from attentive, knowledgeable staff. The space provides a relaxed, sociable atmosphere and clear sightlines to the chefs at work.
