Had a wonderful meal here ! We have visited this restaurant several times and each time has been very enjoyable. Dinner selections are diverse and tasty. Our family had a hamburger, salmon, roasted chicken and a beef salad which were all delicious. Waitress was polite and attentive. Great experience and see you again soon.

As always, dinner at La Foret was a completely outstanding experience. From being warmly greeted by Sammy, to the attentive, but not distracting service from all of the staff, to the delicious food (beef tartare, Bison ribeye and Wild boar), it was a perfect evening. Someday, we’ll skip the Gran Marnier soufflé and try the other desserts , but not tonight.
