About Forest

The Forest restaurant offers an exceptional seafood selection and remarkable culinary delights. The farm egg appetizer and Branzino dish are must-try highlights. The staff, including server Curtis, provide excellent recommendations and accommodations, ensuring a memorable dining experience. The upscale, chill atmosphere features great music and a nice interior. While the food, such as the salmon and truffle pasta, is generally delicious and well-prepared, some dishes like the pappardelle pasta and steak may be hit-or-miss. The restaurant is known for its elegant and well-balanced meals, with thoughtful presentation and fresh ingredients. It is one of the few places in the area that serves Baked Alaska, which is beautifully torched with a balanced sweetness and a side of pistachio ice cream that adds a creamy, lightly nutty flavor. The water glasses are small, and there is no parking lot, but nearby parking options are available after 5:30 pm and on weekends. Reservations are recommended due to the restaurant's popularity. The ambiance feels upscale but relaxed, with just enough buzz to make the experience lively, making it a great spot for special occasions or intimate dinners.
