Forklift & Palate Restaurant at Champion Mill

We had a party of 10. Food was decent but service left a lot to be desired. We were there for 3 hours. In total there was about 10-15 other customers there besides us the whole time. It took way too long to get waters, which were not all served at the same time. Server finally came to ask about appetizers, by then we had all decided on meals. We said we would go ahead and order. There was 2 bread appetizers ordered. When they arrived, we still had no silverware. Drinks were brought out a couple at a time. Salads were brought out here and there, not all together. We were never asked if we would like refills on drinks and not offered desserts. Everyone agreed they would not visit again

Was the strangest thing. Had a 9:30 reservation. The staff acted like they had no idea how to seat someone. There were only 4 tables in the whole place with people. After we finally were seated no one ever came to get our drink order or food order. There were at least 4 people working and no one came over. Then at one point all the staff was gone. Like…not a single employee in the place. The other tables had couples and no one was talking. They were all on their phones. No music. So it was silent in the place. Horrible atmosphere. The whole thing was surreal. Not an ideal valentines dinner.

We made the mistake of making reservations during a volleyball tournament, and had to pay $5 in event parking about a half mile away. Second, it was a solid 30 minutes before we received our drinks. Third, the at.osphere was horrible, unless you enjoy eating in a warehouse with the acoustics of a mall food court. No decor besides the fake plant on our table. Fourth, all 3 of our meals were messed up in so.e way... too many issues. We won't be back.

Waited 10 minutes to be seated with no one at the host stand. Waited over an hour from sit down till we got our food with only 2 other tables here. Only 2 refills were given for the entire table of 5. 1 person in our party didn't even get their meal until the others had finished. Not worth a 45$ meal to get cold shrimp and a thin steak. Can't imagine what it would be like on a busy sport event night if they cant handle it on a dead night.

Breakfast was undercooked eggs undercooked bacon underwhelming Dinner food was great but we waited over an hour and a half for our meals to arrive for a party of 3. Didn't get as many refills as we would have liked. People who came after us were served before us.
