I went to this place about a week after it first opened and I was really blown away. I got the duck confit flatbread and it was simply exquisite! However, I have been there a few times since and I have to say that it has never been consistent. The duck flatbread has never come close to the perfection of the first one I had. I agree that the service is spotty, but I also have noticed that they are WAY understaffed at lunch. There is also something about an entire page of the menu being dedicated to cold cuts and cheese that just annoys me. I enjoy the occasional after dinner cheese plate as much as the next gal, but it just doesn't interest me that much. Seems like something that a snobby culinary school grad would appreciate more than the average diner. This place perplexes me to some degree. I have had a few dishes at Ford's that were unbelievable, but I have also sent back just as many. There is obviously some real talent in the kitchen, but there are also clearly some real duds back there too. I think this place could be a great restaurant if they could just work out their kinks.
Pros: wine list, friendly staff, location
Cons: inconsistent, sparse menu
