About Moonlight at FORTH
Leather sofas, a fireplace, a glass-block wall and a long marble bar fill the indoor room, while a terrace wraps the sixteenth floor of the FORTH Hotel with views across Historic Fourth Ward Park to the Downtown and Midtown towers. Olive-garnished martinis and small plates such as a lobster roll and grilled cheese make up most orders, with a caviar service for bigger spends. It opens Wednesday to Sunday, from 5pm, and runs to midnight on Friday and Saturday, when the room gets shoulder to shoulder and later reservations only guarantee entry, not a table. Smart casual is enforced at the door, and several reviewers report being turned away over outfits they considered smart. Service draws the complaints behind a 3.9 Google rating, from slow food to curt bartenders, though the hosts and the view get steady praise.
