The food was high quality and preparations were tasty…just more on the classic end of the spectrum- nothing too innovative or new. Service was so nice and comfortable and not at all stuffy. Wine and cocktails were quite reasonably priced and generous pours compared to what we often see in lesser restaurants. The wild boar was the table favorite. Quail appetizer was also very nice.

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.

Disappointing for the price ($500 for 2). I'd recently spent a week in Paris, hopping between bistros in the Marais, and was hoping to get some of that vibe here, too. But it was not to be: this felt like food from a few decades ago. Our waitress was the high spot. She switched some dishes around for us in the 6-course tasting menu and a shared $95 wine pairing. She was attentive and helpful, and dismayed when she found out that dishes were being dropped on our table with no more than "careful - the plates are hot" (they were untouchable). At this price level, I'd expect an amuse bouche or two - but no: we were brought some Veuve Cliquot champagne (all the pours were half glasses) and some underwhelming bread, and then left for several minutes until the first course arrived. That was tasty - but would have been good as course #3 or 4, not the first one: the heavy sauce overwhelmed the wine. The wines were apparently selected by brand, with no attenmpt to explain why they might have been paired with the food. A slightly underwhelming butter-lettuce salad followed; this one got an description, but a couple of slices of radish was hardly worth the effort. The beef tartare course was the most subtle - although the meat was brown, and I couldn't detect any of the promised truffle. The elk was the high point: tender, bathed in a dark, rich sauce that the house style was well suited to. Australian rack of lamb was generous, but covered in a rich salty gravy, not a "natural jus", and accompanied by a brown rice thingy that was too salty to eat, a weirdly sweet carrot, and some slightly overcooked asparagus. (We were offered a replacement, but we decided that we didn't want to prolong things.) Dessert was a slice of chocolate tart, noticeable more for its weight than any subtlety. A half-bottle of Pinot Noir ($31 at retail) to take away was nice, but not enough. Other diners seemed to enjoy themselves. We won't be back.

The food, service, and ambiance were all very good. One small complaint is that my expensive ribeye was overcooked. I ordered medium rare and it came out with hardly any pink at all. It was still good. But it could have been great. I also ordered the rack of lamb which was cooked medium rare to perfection. Delicious!

Hey Joe, We appreciate your feedback! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. However, it's unfortunate that the ribeye did not meet your expectations. It's great to know that the rack of lamb was cooked to perfection! Your insights help us improve, and we hope to provide an even better experience next time. Best, La Foret Team
