Forte Unique Cuisines is one of the top fine dining restaurants in Ocean County.

Owned and operated by Jon Ucal who is involved with every aspect of the business and where his friendly presence and loud laugh can be felt through out the dining room. He can often be seen bringing complimentary plates of outstanding hummus, cheese, and olives, while making sure that every one is enjoying their dining experience.

The menu overseen by Chef Marco Vinas offers an eclectic selection of French, Italian, and Turkish dishes. Some of the menu items also include homemade pastas and desserts.

While the price is approximately $10 less than other area restaurants, Bronzini lovers are advised to avoid the Filet of Bronzini. It's fileted before cooking and is served overcooked, thick, and flavorless.

The tables are set with linen tablecloths and napkins with soft background music providing a cozy and inviting ambiance. The main dining room has a fireplace on in the winter months and a balcony for outdoor dining in the warmer months.

The bar scene is very friendly with a bartender that is adept at remembering names. Many patrons have referred to the bar as the "Cheers" of Point Pleasant.

The complimentary hummus is very good and many diners have reported that it is the best in the area.

This is a good place for a get together with family or friends.

Banquet facilities are available for 20 to 90 people. On Thursdays they offer BYOW "Bring your own wine" with no corkage fee.

Forte Unique Cuisines also offers a smaller portion bistro and children's menu. They are open for lunch and have an attractively priced lunch menu.
