The calamari dish on the other hand was ok, it was certainly not worth the price. The calamari itself was good, It’s hard to go wrong with grilled calamari, but the side was the real disappointment here. I don’t think that hard chickpeas are the right pairing with this dish.

I know there are a few comments about the flan. I will say that I LOVE flan, but the flan at Phorum, although, the flavor was good, the consistency was not. It was way too thick and eggy.

As for the decor, it has promise. The problem is that the space is relatively large and they need to figure out a way to make it feel more intimate, especially considering each time I have been there only about a quarter of the seats have been occupied. I would suggest that they turn the lights down. The light from the kitchen is way too bright. I think some soft candle light might do the trick.

I do think that Phorum is on the right track after all they have just opened, like any new restaurant they’re going to need a few weeks to work the kinks out.
