The Forager Reviews
This is a great local restaurant with excellent service and food. All the staff members are friendly and welcoming. We’ve never been disappointed with our meal or cocktails. Highly recommend!
Went to dinner 8/14/25 and had our typical nice meal with bill over $100 and was SHOCKED to see a .75 cent charge for the two 1" butter patties I had asked for!! The other 7 folks at our table thought this was a joke but, alas, afraid not. Which word comes to mind- cheap, chintzy, petty, ridiculous or all of them?
Oh, as it was my birthday we figured most nice restaurants offer a complimentary dessert but not here. Silly me for expecting that when I had to pay for the butter.
The food and staff are excellent.
Absolutely love eating there❤️
