The Forge

Normally, I wouldn't bother writing a review for this restaurant, but after my disappointing second visit, I feel compelled to share my experience. My first visit was on September 29th at around 7:30 PM. Overall, I had a pleasant experience, and the tournedos were absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, my second visit, on Monday, October 2nd, was a completely different story. I was sitting at the bar and hadn't even had the chance to order anything when the staff asked to hold on to my credit card as a deposit. I explained that, to my understanding, this practice isn't permitted under Indonesian law, but they didn't seem particularly interested in what I had to say. It's a shame, especially considering how much I enjoyed the food during my first visit. But asking to keep a customer's credit card before they've even ordered anything is simply unacceptable to me. Needless to say, I won't be returning.
