What reviewers say about Forage Public House
People say this American restaurant serves delicious food and good drinks. They also highlight the fair prices and lovely atmosphere. Some reviews mention the food can be unavailable.
“Had a surprise birthday party here for my mother in law. Party of 16. We had a great number of appetizers. The food was amazing and priced right. The meatballs, nachos, and cauliflower were fantastic. I had the tacos for my main dish and they were fantastic as well. Our server Jessica was phenomenal. Will definitely come back.”
“We came here for a large private party and the servers were very attentive and accommodating. We had a party size of 22 and everything was timely. The appetizers were all tasty. The house wines were really good and the spicy cavatappi was a slightly spicy and creamy.”
“I’ve come here many times and sat on the patio and on the inside. It’s been good, never fantastic, but steadily decent. Tonight I went with others and had a horrible experience. I ordered the Dinosaur Kale Salad and added grilled chicken. A dish I’ve had on many occasions in the past. What came out was a salad that did not include ANY kale, let alone dinosaur kale. In fact they put so many topping on the salad as if to hide the fact it was mixed greens. When I told the waitress it wasn’t kale she talked to the kitchen and they said it’s a new style kale……that being said it’s still not the dinosaur kale that was stated on the menu. I no longer wanted the meal and by the time she came back the table was halfway thru their meals. From then on out the waitress avoided the table like the plague until it was time for the checks. When the bill came for the two of us she stated that she took my salad off. Was I supposed to be thankful? It wasn’t what I ordered and I didn’t eat? Then the check was brought for the 2 of us with a 20% gratuity added in already. Seriously, wrong meal and you barely came to the table and you get 20%? I’ve been a long time customer and I’ve been noticing that it’s been less crowded over the last year or so. I think I see why now. Highly disappointed!”
