" It was my first time dining at Forest on a whim, and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to help. I ordered the special pasta of the day, which exceeded my expectations — it was rich and flavorful! A minor flaw was the dessert; the baked Alaska didn't meet the classic standards I was used to at other places. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm looking forward to coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Forest, I had to check it out. I was not disappointed! The place itself is beautiful and very modern. The staff were quick to greet us and seated us right away. We ordered the different appetizers to start as a meal, and they all came out beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the farm egg, which was delightful. Our mains were just as fantastic. This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in ages! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed at Forest after what I hoped would be a wonderful night. We celebrated an important milestone and while the service was generally good, the food missed the mark. I ordered the trout, and while it was presented beautifully, it was quite bland. The ambiance was lovely, but it didn't compensate for the meal. Overall, it was just okay, and I expected much better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, we had a lovely birthday dinner at Forest last Saturday. The ambiance was beautiful, and the outdoor seating was a perfect touch to our evening. The service was excellent — our server was attentive and efficient. We ordered a mix of appetizers and entrees to share, each dish beautifully plated. The only downside for us was that the brussel sprouts were not quite to our taste; they had an odd dressing. Otherwise, everything else was delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed on my last visit to Forest. While the decor and ambiance maintain a high standard, my meal fell short. The halibut I ordered was bland and lacked seasoning, which was surprising based on previous experiences. Service remained top-notch, but I left feeling that I could have had a much better meal elsewhere for the price point. I hope they improve the seasoning as the quality of service is commendable. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful evening at Forest! My partner and I enjoyed the cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere, and our server was attentive without being pushy. We started with the carrot salad and moved on to the trout, which was cooked perfectly. We wrapped up with the chocolate dessert, which was decadent. The portion sizes were reasonable, especially for fine dining. We left with full bellies and big smiles. This place is definitely a keeper! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Forest last weekend and left feeling underwhelmed. While the service was superb and very attentive, I found the food to be quite average for the price. I ordered the agnolotti which was nice enough, but it didn’t stand out compared to other Italian restaurants I've been to. The atmosphere is great, however, it's not enough to warrant the high prices. I might consider returning for a drink rather than a meal next time. " (*Curated Review*)
