I really like the mission statement of this restaurant. When you arrive, they tell you that everything on the menu is sourced locally so it’s very fresh! The staff is very nice and I enjoyed the ambience, but it was just very expensive. Portion sizes were very small, although the food was delicious. I would recommend this as a splurge snack, then go somewhere else for your actual meal afterwards

Restaurant week dining, plus some pig parts. I got squash blossoms and the pork loin. So good!

This spot’s got such a cool feel — like, you know they care about the food and the experience. Had the duck breast with local veggies, and it was cooked perfectly (crispy skin, juicy center, no joke). Their seasonal menu changes often, so it feels like you’re getting something special. Staff was super laid-back but attentive. Lighting was warm, not blinding, and yeah — bathrooms were spotless too

My wife and I had a bad experience at Foraged on Sunday, July 27, 2025, during restaurant week.

After we were seated for our 7:00 pm reservation and the waitress explained the restaurant and dining options to us, she informed us they were sold out of the Maryland catfish. I was disappointed, because the catfish was the draw which initially led us to make reservations in the first place but no worries, these things happen. We ordered cocktails and focaccia to start, followed by the three-course restaurant week option with wine pairings. My wife chose the beef second, and I chose the scallop second. A few minutes later, the waitress came back to inform us they also sold out of the scallops. At this point I’m annoyed to have to pick a third entrée option. How does the restaurant run out of two of the already limited second options available on the third day of restaurant week?

The focaccia, first course, and the first wine pairings all arrived at the same time, but we never received our cocktails. We pointed this out to the waitress, and while she was trying to figure it out with the bartender, we watched a table who ordered after we did receive their cocktails before us. We decided we no longer wanted the cocktails and flagged down another waitress to tell her. She assured us she would take care of it.

As the second course arrived another woman appeared beside our table, did not introduce herself or tell us who she was, and let us know she did us the favor of not charging us for the cocktails we never received. I don’t know if she thought this was helpful, but it came across as patronizing while also not truly acknowledging the misstep on the restaurant’s part, which added to our frustration with the whole experience.

Overall, the food was excellent, but the service wasn’t. The entire staff spent too much time focusing on the details that don’t matter while neglecting the ones that did. Instead of ensuring my water glass was topped off at every moment and trying to whisk away our plates the minute we took our last bites, this level of attention should have been focused on ensuring we received what we ordered when we expected it, properly coursing out the meal, and handling conflict with customers with grace and tact.

Two stars for the food, zero stars for everything else.

My wife and I enjoyed the chef’s table experience last night for our anniversary. It was exceptional in every way. Each course was creative, delicious ,and beautifully constructed without being unnecessarily complex. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun but also fitting for a romantic meal. We really enjoyed watching our dishes being prepared and the interaction with the chef before each course. We will definitely be back.

Down with the concept, the seasonality, the fresh and local, the forage, the amazing mushroom dishes. It's a menu and a team with integrity that are true to the sources and the craft. Same goes for the wine and the drinks. My only warning is the salt. Beware, accidentally or intentionally, some dishes were salted to the extreme. Even after turning one back to the kitchen, the replacement came just as high in salt. I don't understand why, but maybe send a message to the kitchen while you are ordering for the backstage Salt Assassin to hold back.

Second time eating here. The food was transcendent. My friend loved her lions mane crabcake.
The ́mackerel was a dish I can never forget. It was simply perfect.

Amazing experience, exceptional service. Our server was very knowledgeable, friendly, and aligned with the passion you can feel in every aspect of this eatery. We arrived at 5 and did the 3-course meal, finished just in time to walk in to our 6:40 movie showing after previews. Next time I will give myself more time between dinner and whatever I have planned after because the food and atmosphere is worth taking your time with. Mushroom stew was divine, catfish was brilliant, cake was amazing. Perfect portion sizes - not left feeling over filled or underserved. I can’t wait to come back!!!

Went there for a buddies birthday. There were 8 of us. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food and drinks. It was expensive but worth the experience. They had 3 course meals and 5 course meals and you could also select your own. The drinks were unique and the food was even more unique. The mushroom stew was probably the tastiest of all honestly. Tons of flavor. I wish I got more photos of this honestly. I would come back again for a 1 on 1 date. It was a nice experience. Be prepared to spend about $200 if you are getting drinks. Worth the experience though. 5 stars so definitely not knocking it at all. I will be back for sure. I hear the menu changes throughout the year so that's one of the main reasons I would want to come back.

Quiet enough to chat. Wonderful server, personable and honest about her newness.

The food was all delicious! Not light, but portioned appropriately in what I ordered. The ramp butter was potent and the bread was to die for! Everyone was pleased and we wanted to eat more, we will just have to come back :)
