This place is no longer Asian fusion. You can take feta off a salad or there is a vegetarian option as the chef will make a linguini with a non-cream sauce. Tofu can be added.
Service was good. Cozy little vibe. Prices were steep.

Enjoyable fusion dining experience. I got the feeling, the team was still working on getting their flow down but recopies were good. Was hoping for a fried rice or ramen based option? The menu changes regularly though.

Amazing food and drinks. To start, we ordered the fried goat cheese balls with cranberries, papaya and dill. They were really flavorful and simply amazing. The bacon cheerwine old fashioned and rosemary cosmo were unique and great. For the main course we had the cheerwine glazed meatloaf with onion jam that came with creamy smashed potatoes and broccolini. The flavors were awesome and the portions sizable. The other main course was the halibut with beans and roasted tomatoes. Again the flavors and texture were spot on and the fish was cooked perfectly. The bar is well stocked with great selections of wines, liquor, and some amazing sake. The atmosphere is quite, friendly, unique, and modern. The owners and staff cordial and inviting. This is a great gem and we highly recommend. We will be back!

First time to visit. Great location and walkable from our AirBnB. Two of us had the Halibut which was amazing. The third member of our party had the fried chicken legs. They looked great on the plate but lacked flavor and the breading was bland. Server could use some training but she was doing a good job overall. I’d return and suggest others give it a try.
I’ve been living in Southwest Virginia for almost 12 years and I can say that Foresta is the best restaurant I have eaten here. The bone in pork chop was full of flavor and pairs well with my Benton’s bacon fat old fashion. My wife ordered the meatloaf which was a real great tasteful surprise with the cheerwine glaze. Great atmosphere and great staff. Will definitely be visiting again.

If you’re looking for creative cuisine , great drinks and atmosphere , Foresta is the place to go. My husband and I went for our 6 year anniversary , for appetizers we got the Foresta Caesar salad, and the shrimp cocktail. The Foresta Caesar was delicious with Burrata and a Caesar dressing. The shrimp cocktail came with a wonderful cocktail sauce. For entrees he ordered the bone in pork chop and I ordered the cheerwine glazed meatloaf. Both of these meals were absolutely amazing. The pork chop was cooked to perfection with a tasty maple mustard sauce . The meatloaf had an amazing cheerwine glaze with onion jam. Best meatloaf I ever had! (Just don’t tell my mom that) lol. The cocktail we got we’re delicious and very creative. If you’re thinking about desserts, do it! Amazing key lime ice cream/pie and maple bacon cheesecake! Zane and the staff were very attentive and welcoming. Would recommend Foresta to anyone! Can’t wait to go back!

One star is too generous. We walked out after waiting 15 minutes to be served with only two other customers dining. Multiple servers walked by us and never spoke.

Welcome to Foresta
After living in Washington County for over a year—and passing by Foresta at 190 East Main Street in Historic Downtown Abingdon countless times—we finally followed a friend’s recommendation to dine there tonight. To our sheer delight, we discovered yet another gem in Abingdon’s vibrant culinary scene.
Foresta offers a welcoming atmosphere, personable and attentive service, and a menu full of enticing, Southern-inspired dishes. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Fried Chicken, paired with creamy mac and cheese, Nashville Hot Honey, and B & B pickles. My mother-in-law savored every bite of her Cheerwine-Glazed Meatloaf, served with mashed potatoes and broccolini. Our friend raved about the Korean BBQ Wings, which came with celery, carrots, and ranch. We all shared a refreshingly unique Lemon Gelato for dessert—an absolute treat!
Service was swift and friendly throughout. Zane, Foresta’s owner and Leila, our server that evening, checked in with us personally to ensure we were enjoying everything, which we deeply appreciated.
Needless to say, we’ll be back soon—whether for another dinner or to explore their lunch offerings, available Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. While we’re not drinkers, it’s worth noting that Foresta also features an extensive wine and beer selection.
