The food was great!
However, I saw a mouse/rat ? crawling up and over me on the wooden beams that are inside the restaurant. We reported it to the waiter, but nothing was done. Our primary waitress also attended us with an attitude.

Loved absolutely everything about this spot!! Not only is the food amazing, the drinks are delicious and the patio is perfect. They are also the most dog friendly spot I have ever experienced. Water bowls and a dog menu are provided for your meal if you bring your dog(s) with you. I had to take advantage and I’m pretty sure the dogs would give it 5+ stars as well. Heidi took care of us, but the whole staff came by and said hello and made myself and the dogs feel so welcome.
100⭐️’s if I could.
Thank you for being so welcoming!

Loved the food, music and the over all ambiance!!!!! I got the butternut squash and it was amazing!! The history of the building surprised us, super cool! It took forever to get drinks and to get checked out…. Our waitress we very nice but it seemed like she wasn’t present in times of need.

Friendly, engaging service. Top 3 French onion soup! Perfectly cooked breaded chicken sandwich. Burger was cooked as ordered. Truffle fries a hit with those who like truffles. Decent wines at reasonable prices.
Neat outdoor areas for small parties. Could have used more umbrellas in the afternoon sun.
Will come here again!

Had a lovely meal at The Forge in the Forest! The avocado toast was fresh and flavorful, and the chicken teriyaki bowl was perfectly balanced with a great mix of flavors. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service made the experience even better. Definitely a spot worth visiting! And yes they are Dog Friendly.

Good option in Carmel, didn’t have a reservation and we could get a table downstairs, didn’t have the view but had a good meal.

Nice atmosphere and the food was average. Not sure why this area refuses to split checks when it is a large group. The server disappeared for at least 30 minutes, and some of our group wanted wine to go with their meals. Too many people to sit together when 3 extras came in. The server asked the manager if we could move to a bigger table but he said no, so not even all together. I had the ruban and corned beef was good but could not taste the sauekraut or thousand island dressing. Coworker had the 1/2 pound burger, and it was dry and below average for a burger (even with the $4 add ons of bacon and avacado). Half of the large group said the meal they ordered they would not order again. One guest ordered a $9 12oz Modelo that was warm.

Lovely, brought our pups from the beach to here as it was the closest dog friendly restaurant and they had a DOG MENU, we got our dogs the chicken and they loved it, it was also quiet which was very nice as I don’t care for loud restaurants :)

Update: I visited again on 10/4, once again 10/10 service, lovely atmosphere. Our server was Margo, my dog usually ignores people but he was happy to get some pets from Margo. She definitely passed the doggy-vibe check.
