Forest Grill has enhanced their menu with a variety of new offerings that will prove more appealing to the American palate, while retaining the high service standard I have come to expect. The corn chowder was exceptionally good, and comes highly recommended.
Our last visit did see a couple of misses on the entrees, with tough, slightly cold chicken, and a steak left too rare, as well as slightly slow service for a lunch seating, thus one star off the usual five star experience. The kitchen appeared a bit harried on the day we were there, but I have every expectation the situation will be rectified by our next visit.
Still highly recommended!

Great service from the get-go, amazing food. My wife and I went vegetarian for Lent and chose the Forest Grill as our first formal meal back eating meat. It certainly did not disappoint. The charcuterie was excellent, and my pork rack was perfectly cooked.
Our server was very attentive, and made she we were taken care of through out the entire evening.
The executive chef came out and delivered our food to the table himself, and on our way our stopped to thank us for coming in. I suppose most people couldn't care less about that, but it was a nice touch that left my wife and I feeling valued and wanting to come back.

Absolutely wonderful! The dining experience at Forest Grill was a real treat for my Italian colleagues. We all were impressed with the excellent food and service. Executive Chef David Gilbert created an extraordinary meal for us. And more, the interaction with the staff was professional and attentive.
For us, after finishing an intensive integration workshop, the Forest Grill team created the perfect environment for us to unwind and build a special kind of camaraderie. We will always remember the special attention from Chef David and the exquisite meal he prepared for us. Occasion was simply magnificent.

The food was simply amazing. Our server lindsey made us venture out on wine away from our usual cabs or Merlots and try different blends which were amazing. The French onion soup is just wow. Overall the entire expierence was great and just a wonderful time. I highly suggest you dine with an open mind here and step out of your box and try different foods here. It's a great place to do that and if you don't feel comfortable doing that they have very familiar favourites on the menu.

This was a disappointing meal. We usually are thrilled with our meals. This time there were some hits and some misses. The sweetbreads and the mussles were off. The service and the balance of meal was up to their usual standards. We will wait for a while before we go back.

Really enjoyed the food. Truffle risotto is highly recommended as well as the foie gras appetizer. The Charcuterie platter should not be missed either. Yum! This is high-end comfort food at its best.
