There are very few upscale restaurant experiences for vegans in Boston that don't involve compromises. Forage is no compromises. We had the vegan tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was wonderful in every way. The service especially was knowledgeable and attentive without feeling overbearing. An excellent night.

Outstanding and flavorful cocktails, food that feels connected to the earth, and an independent ethos that turns their weird little basement into a bastion of hope and creative indulgences. A delightful spot!

Service was outstanding and cocktails were excellent. The food was good - we would not say great, particularly given the prices.

What an amazing, innovative and charming restaurant! The waitstaff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The food is sublime, we paired our dinner with unique and refreshing non- alcoholic drinks. We also sampled a couple of the wines by the glass which were excellent. We look forward to returning back for another meal on our next visit to Cambridge.

Delicious food. We did the vegan tasting menu and omnivore tasting menu. Both were delicious. It's hard to find vegan food that had good protein and real vegetables and this hit all marks! We'll definitely be back for another special occasion.
