My husband and I recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Forty40 RestoLounge, and we were absolutely blown away! From the planning to the decor, food, and service — everything was beyond our expectations. The antipasto bar was incredible; our guests are still talking about it! The decor was spot on with my vision, and Sabina went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, including our beautiful ceremony on the patio. Joe and his team made sure the food was absolute perfection. I’m so grateful to the entire team — our small wedding was pure magic. I truly couldn’t have asked for anything better. Forty40 RestoLounge nailed it! Highly recommend!

We held our friend’s reception dinner at Forty 40 Resto Lounge on very short notice, and we couldn't be more grateful for how everything turned out. The owner, Joe, was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. He partnered with his wife, Sabina (@forty40events), who did a beautiful job with the decorations, simple, elegant, and just what we were hoping for. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful, the pricing was very reasonable, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Their guests kept raving about the whole experience. Highly recommend this place for any event or even just a great night out! Thanks again for making this night one to remember for them!

This was my first time at Forty 40 and it will definitely not be the last! The food, ambiance and vibe in this establishment was outstanding:) For starters, food was delicious, authentic and well priced. The chef personally brought out a few dishes - shows true pride in his creations. Later in the evening, it shifts from dining to dance club. The music was fantastic and kept everyone on the dance floor. Great energy and friendly staff made this night a great one!

Great Service! Forty40 Resto and Lounge hosted our private event this weekend, and we had a wonderful time. We celebrated our parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary, and the restaurant took the time to make it extra special for them. The food was super yummy, and the service was professional and friendly! I would definitely recommend them for all your event needs and/or private parties.

My best friend threw me a 50th birthday party at Forty 40 Resto Lounge this past weekend. We all had a great time. The food, drinks, and staff were wonderful. There was a variety of music to suit everyones taste. This was a perfect place to either have a small gathering or a large one (like the tent party outside their doors). I look forward to attending one of their events this summer.

My wife and I attended the Valentine’s Day event, absolutely fantastic atmosphere. Joe and the team went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, even bringing us shots to get the party started. The DJs were great, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. People were dancing after dinner, just a fun night out with my wife. Will definitely take my team and customers out to the restaurant for lunch etc. Mervin Naidoo
