I went to Ford's last month after wanting to visit the restaurant since it first opened. In summary, what I can tell you is KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO AND BE PREPARED. First of all, if you're patronizing the restaurant during the winter/early spring months, ensure when you make reservations that you specify that you want an INDOOR TABLE (and make sure to confirm your reservations with a living, breathing person.) My boyfriend and I came in expecting them to ask us if we wanted inside our out, but our reservations meant we got an outside table. My boyfriend has a shaved head and didn't bring a hat, so we had to make do with the fleece blanket the server gave us ""as a courtesy."" (Snagging an inside table meant waiting an extra hour!) Secondly, please know that the place gets very loud and crowded, even on weekdays.
Pros: Some great dishes
Cons: Some bad dishes, the crowds, the wait for a table
