“One of our absolute favorite places for a pasty and coffee break with the girlies. Everything is delicious, service is usually pretty great. Coffee bar hits the right notes. All the more fancy treats are always a huge hit when I grab them for a birthday or pick-me-up for a friend. We also frequent their location between Rochester and Lake Orion, love hitting that one right off long walks on the trail! They do get very busy and it's a tight space, so plan accordingly. It is not a great space for big groups/kiddos, more ideal for 2-4 who can keep their footprint small. Only drawback to this location is said overcrowding, and some of the locals being kind of snooty, cutting line or being weird camping the tables.”

“My first visit to Kaishin Izakaya in Birmingham was such a memorable experience! I originally came in just to pick up my takeout, but the hospitality was so good that I ended up staying. Tony and Evan were wonderful, and a special shoutout to Thair for greeting me immediately, consistently checking on me, and being incredibly attentive throughout my visit. The sushi was so fresh, and the spicy garlic edamame was easily the best I’ve had yet. I also had verytasty green tea and was lucky enough to try their matcha ice cream, which was literally a 10/10! Everything from the food to the service made an impression. I already can’t wait to come back and will definitely be adding Kaishin Izakaya to my list of favorite Birmingham spots!”

“Excellent meal from start to finish. We celebrated our anniversary here and it was among the best service we have received at any restaurant. The meal started with a nice note waiting at our table and a couple of glasses of champagne, bread service was provided - very good focaccia style with high quality side of olive oil. We ordered two apps , the black rice arancini with crab and the yellowfin crudo. Both were outstanding and I was surprised when the arancini was served made from the black rice which is a staple on their menu. I may not have read the menu right but wasn’t expecting that. Very unique texture and great flavors for an arancini which we like to order at many different restaurants. The crudo was extremely fresh and very light with complex flavors and not overly acidic. The fish shined thru. Next we split the pink Caesar which was a unique take on a Caesar that I believe had walnuts in lieu of traditional croutons and once again very fresh and delicious flavor for a salad. The dressing was lighter and less salty than many Caesar dressings but you could still taste some anchovy. At this point the meal was going great and our server and the kitchen continued to time it perfectly. Our server also provided knowledgeable recommendations and reserved the last fish special for us which he had asked us when we began ordering - a touch that I appreciated as this turned out to be the highlight of the meal before dessert. The entree was a grilled turbot - not a fish I am familiar with and our server explained it is similar to a Dover sole. Spot on. Grilled perfectly with a texture less flaky than typical sole and reminding me a bit more of a swordfish. One of the best pieces of fish I’ve had dining out. We finished the meal by ordering the baked Alaska which was great and not a dessert I personally had eaten before. Quite the presentation. That said our server also added us a comped piece of the chocolate cake which I believe is flourless and my wife and I were both surprised to find that we enjoyed it even more than the baked Alaska as it wasn’t on our radar to order. Samy and Matt have quite a team going at forest and the kitchen is on point. Multiple check ins from management and our server while also allowing us plenty of time to celebrate our night together. We’ve been fans of Phoenicia and Layla for many years but I would honestly say that this meal at Forest elevated it to their top restaurant in my mind. This is the level of service that you look for when celebrating but you could tell that the restaurant is consistently very busy as even every seat at the bar was full during our meal. Last addition is that the updated interior was very nice and the vibe of the restaurant was intimate and easy to have a good conversation. Also had friendly patrons we chatted with sitting next to us. 4th or 5th time I’ve eaten there and never been disappointed but this meal was above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. Thanks”

At first she took my martini order and had the bar make it. Then for my second, she made it herself. TOTALLY different drink than what was made the first time. Chelsey was an attentive server, great personality, and impeccable service. We bonded quickly and I told her when my boyfriend and I come back, we’re only requesting her.”

Why not stop in at Royal Oak Roast? It’s a comfy place with great people watching. The coffee is wonderful and refills are a dollar. So many different coffee choices in all styles, including espresso over over Weiss vanilla ice cream!!! The kitchen, yes I said kitchen has scrumptious food that is presented beautifully with the seasonal selections. All this sound good? Well that’s not even the best part. It’s the staff. It’s a varied collection of kind, hard working people that make you feel welcomed and are always working hard to get your order out to you. Leave the stress behind and relax here with friends and future friends. You will be glad you came”

Lobster tacos were fantastic! Mine were loaded with lobster. French dip was decent. Great specialty cocktails! Worth mostly every penny for the food. I will say it was being ran by a group of very young people... room for improvement in service but not bad by any means. Atmosphere is attractive!”

He pointed out the menu’s recommendations, didn’t rush us, and personalized the order of when we’d like our choices brought out to the table. Every dish we ordered from appetizers to the complimentary Birthday dessert, was tremendous! We reserved a standard table in one of their dining rooms. However, even the bar area with high top tables would not disappoint. Don’t hesitate to make this a place to experience. They offer a great menu of salads, seafood, steaks, and be sure to ask about specials. They offer a vast wine menu and specialty drinks. We WILL be back! There is valet parking available if you’d choose that option.”
