About Forage

Forage is a farm-to-table restaurant that offers a unique dining experience with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients. The menu includes dishes like the Ceasar Salad, wild mushrooms, and Mujadara. Located off the patio of a residential building in Cambridge, the restaurant has a modest decor that contributes to a cozy and warm atmosphere. Guests have praised the friendly and attentive staff for their accommodating service, especially when handling complicated dietary restrictions. The relaxed vibe and clever, wholesome menu invite diners to try something new, with everything tasting fresh and delicious. Diners receive their check in a copy of the Constitution and can enjoy a pickle sampler and onion roll as starters. Main courses feature options like hangar steak, while desserts include choices such as bitter peach ice cream and chocolate gochujang cake. The vegan cheese board, noted for its exceptional cashew cheese, and the creative cod dish with impressive flavor pairings have also been highly appreciated. The staff's friendly and knowledgeable service enhances the experience, and the fish, desserts, and craft cocktails are particularly delicious. Guests enjoy the music, such as Billie Holiday, which adds to the ambiance. The tasting menu is a good way to experience the restaurant’s offerings at a lower cost. While the overall experience is highly recommended for those seeking seasonal flavors and a warm, inviting atmosphere, some guests found the additional kitchen appreciation fee less appealing.
