Visited on a Friday evening. We made reservations via the phone and there is a hold charge for the reservation that is returned when you check in. We were seated at a beautiful round booth for a large party of 6 which was comfortable and spacious for our group. We were promptly greeted and our server Nicole was friendly. She provided great drink and food recommendations and knew the menu well based on taste preferences and dietary restrictions. The plates are shareable so we all ordered different things to try and share. I personally had the beef bourguignon, pomme puree and frites. The frites were so crispy and flavorful (truffle zest yes!). Truly shareable they came in a little mound that the whole table could enjoy. The beef was tender with a thick well seasoned sauce. The spirit free cocktail I enjoyed which was sweet and light. The ambiance is dark and moody and the decor truly resembles being in a forest grove. Perfect for date night or late night dinners (our reservation started at 9:00 pm) If you enjoy French cuisine or want to try La Foret is a great introduction for an experience. Took rideshare so no recommendation regarding parking $$$

An absolutely outstanding French dining experience. The venison was the undeniable star of the evening—perfectly cooked, impossibly tender, and layered with deep, rich flavor that showcased both the quality of the ingredient and the skill of the kitchen. Every bite was balanced and elegant, with accompaniments that enhanced rather than overwhelmed the dish. The atmosphere was classic and inviting, the service attentive without being intrusive, and the entire meal felt thoughtful and refined. If you’re a fan of French cuisine—or even just curious—this venison alone is reason enough to return. Truly exceptional.

This is the best place I’ve been to in a very long time. All of the food was well balanced, and cooked to perfection. Service was phenomenal, staff was attentive and professional. I came in with a hat, it fell behind the seat & they helped me look for & retrieve it, I was so thankful. 🥰 the French onion soup was full of flavor, and the mushrooms were amazing. The atmosphere is also absolutely gorgeous, unique organic design with soft warm lighting that sets the mood.

We came to celebrate a friend who is moving away. The food and atmosphere were fine, and the restaurant has a nice ambiance. Unfortunately, the service significantly affected our overall experience. We fully understand restaurant rules and policies, including those regarding lighting or the use of flash. However, the issue was not the rule itself, but the manner in which it was communicated. The interaction felt impolite and uncomfortable, and it could have been handled in a much more polite and professional way. As people who also work in the food industry, we strongly believe that respectful communication is essential, especially in an upscale French restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Because of this experience, we rated the service very low, even though other aspects of the restaurant were okay. We hope this feedback helps improve future guest experiences.
