This place has a cool vibe, the most south westerly restaurant in the US. Right across the street from the beach. We went for lunch it has a small patio, small bar, and indoor restaurant seating area. The inside has a kinda dark atmosphere and dark wooden tables. Our server was Davi. We had about 7 pre-teens at the table and 4 adults Davi was pretty patient with all our chaos, ordering at different times and back and forth with all our needs. When the food arrived the portions were large and the food was flavorful. The menu has Lots of familiar favs like fish and chips, chicken strips, Cobb salad, Cesar salad, soups, and even make your own steak dinner! Small parking lot in the back. This is a good place to eat and then have a nice walk on the beach!

I went here for my birthday recently with my mom and boyfriend . I was pleased to see the new patio in the back and adding a new fire pit at another table. We were greeted walking in, and we sat ourselves. Some tables were dirty. And so we sat down and noticed that the table I would prefer to sit at, seemed almost ready to go home. We sat and waited for a while. We got one food menu. And no drink menu(s)? Apparently there was a shortage of drink menus? And no, it wasn't because we arrived wasted and they didn't want us to drink. So we sat for a while, maybe 10 minutes. I began getting annoyed from the new sound acoustics on the patio. I could hear my company speak, let alone my mind to think. The place is a gem, but I see there are some problems that keep popping up are the same; And those have to do with the staff. Listen guys, IB is competitive, and the games about to get even harder with higher stakes. If you want to keep this restaurant, and not just keep it, but keep it profiting, looking good, receiving good compliments from the original IB residents as well as the new, making money AND have your business back to a place to be truly proud of, there's so much that can be done. Without bookoo bucks. I have 15 years in retail management, and those 15 were all very successful and something I am very proud of looking back. I could give you ideas and pointers from a fresh set of eyes if you would like to meet for lunch one day.

So, we come up to the Forum every once and a while. The food is a hit or miss. But tonight it was worse than anything ever! The server was rude and uncaring. She never once smiled at us, and she would dismiss what we said. She even walked away from us while we were still addressing her. She didnt give us refills for our drinks, or even offer refills. She delivered my food at least 10 minutes before she delivered the rest of the table. But when we asked our son about his food, he was extremely disappointed. He showed it to us, and the cheese on top was what we thought would be a slice of cheddar cheese, was actually shredded cheddar that was liquidfide on the bread and meat. And then we noticed the meat! It was raw in the middle! My son ate nearly half of it...and it was raw! When you go to a restaurant, you dont think, 'Oh! I need to check my child's food to make sure it isnt raw!' You go, trusting that everything will be done properly. Now, we worry that our son could get very sick from eating a raw hamburger. And when we told the server about it...she walked away saying, "Yeah, yeah." So, if you plan on eating at the Forum, you might wanna check your food first!

I was given a gift card to IB Forum so we went to go check it out. I ordered the Aloha burger and my gf ordered the IB Forum Burger. The burgers arrived on a plastic tray lined with paper and by the time it was brought to the table, the lower bun was soggy and gooey. There was no way to pick it up and eat it. To make matters worse, the paper lining became soggy and since you couldn't pick it up, you had to use a fork and knife but the problem was that you ended up eating the soggy paper lining now. I ended up getting a regular plate and transfering the gooey mess to be able to eat it. So, when you order a burger there, ask for a plate and transfer it over before it gets too messy. The wait staff was very nice though and Mercedes the bartender took 25% off the burger because I complained.

Great service and friendly. Bar area, dining, rear and front patio areas. I've only tried a few simple dishes. It was good, but I can't really give a full rating till I try a more challenging fare. The prices are high, but you are on the beach strip in a nice busy place. Always some room for me on the patio so far. Try it. Have a decent average choice of beer, wine, coctails. Daily specials on food and drinks. Happy hour I think. But not sure. I'm local. I just go on to get my feet wet with a bit of the beach bar vibe. And this is a friendly, happy bar, with I think. a lot of pther regulars and locals, so don't bring drama or come looking for it. This is the chill with friends and dates place.

Love the Vibe and the Fish and Chips are amazing. Ask for the Ice Cold Coca-Cola with no ice. AMAZING.
