Restaurants near Forest Acres

“Love the variety of delicious cakes. There are options for any occasion.”

“I have been here a few times, with multiple groups of people, and we have yet to leave disappointed! I absolutely CANNOT go without ordering at MINIMUM the Duck Wings & the Mushrooms.. The atmosphere is cozy yet fun, and you truly feel like you’ve entered a garden atmosphere! Their Happy Hour is truly one of the best in Columbia—HALF-OFF ALL APPETIZERS SEEMS CRIMINAL WHEN THEY ARE THIS GOOD! Our waitress, Molly, was absolutely amazing! Attentive, friendly, and anticipated our every need! As for food, the menu changes seasonally, so I was lucky enough to try my all-time favorites—the duck wings & mushrooms—while trying some new ones! The Owner made sure to come to our table and ask how everything was—which is refreshing because we saw him working his tail off all night and truly helping his workers thrive! Don’t even get me started on the cocktails 🫠 If you have not been here, you 100% need to make this your next Lunch, Happy Hour, or Dinner option!! Every menu is amazing!”

“The pizza is out of this world”

“The quality and taste is amazing. The customer service and staff are excellent. The knowledge that you receive from the staff is great. They really care about food and people here. I will always support!”

“Absolutely fantastic. Loved the decor. Great staff. The food was so great! The only thing I would say is maybe add a little something out of the ordinary for dessert. Will definitely be back!”

“My bartender Felisatie greeted me with a smile and told my what the beer special of today was. She took my drink/food order in a timely fashion and made sure that my food order was complete before she enter it in the cash register...Hey pleasant personality is extremely rare nowadays.”

“The lady who treated us was So nice and she smiled the whole time and she even asked us if our cookie looked right just in case and she let me change a cookie and the cookies were amazing not baked to deal hard but not underbake to wear. They’re literally just cookie dough, but I do like how they have that cookie dough feeling.”

“A friend and I have regular dinner dates at Terra and we always have a great time! Tonight we had the shishito peppers, Chinese pork belly, snapper and the braised lamb pappardelle followed by the olive oil cake with sweet cream eggplant ice cream. We both agreed it was one of our top meals over the past several years at Terra and cannot wait until our next date! Quality, consistency and service are always top notch, and the one time we tried another restaurant for our date night we totally regretted it and went right back to Terra for our next meetup. Thank you Terra for being so reliable and delivering some of the best bites in the area, you are our gem!”

“What a great find as we are traveling 16 hours from FL to MD as snow birds and finally decided to go out vs grabbing a pizza and staying at the Airbnb.
I yelped and saw their other reviews on google and said let's go!

I am sooooo thankful and as we snow bird ,now this will be our every January and end of February stops for awesome dinner and drinks!!!

And P.S. The greeters, wait staff, bartender and even OFF STAFF folks that sat beside us were so proud to be here, gave us recommendations,engaged in conversation and were that best!”

“Highly recommended, Kalen C was awesome”

“The food and service were impeccable!”

“I never leave reviews, but this place is just too good to not share. The drinks are unique and delicious (My favorite is the Island Boi, or the Orange Creamsicle one, or maybe the Coco Loco one 😂😂). And the food is incredible! I’ve never had anything there that I didn’t love. My favorites are the hush puppies, hummus, Veg Fil A sandwich, and the rice and beans bowl. This time when we went, the chef added protein crumbles, nacho cheese, and green onions on top and it was even better. My son loves the Hoot sandwich and he’s 10 years old and usually non-vegan….so that’s a huge compliment to the flavor of that sandwich. On top of all this, the place is just cool. The atmosphere is so comfortable and inviting, like I could stay all night if I didn’t have to put my kid to bed! 🤣 I just really love this place and I’m so glad to see it added to our neighborhood!!”

“Loved everything. Service was great (thanks Bailey), and the food? The cacio e Pepe gnocchi with ham is by far the best dish I’ve ever had. Ever. It’s a must!”

She made sure everything was perfect for us throughout the evening. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was so enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience. It’s an absolute must!”

“We love the sandwiches, vegan mac and cheese, and, oh my goodness, the cake!!! Best vegan chicken sandwich and cake I have ever had! The batter on the “chicken” is amazing! Every time we go there, I cannot wait to go back! They are so friendly as well and make you feel valued as a customer.”

I came by just after the breakfast crush and was able to place my order to go. The staff was efficient and the owner made sure my order was correct.
