    The quiet, friendly, intimate ambience of Forage makes it a lovely evening. It is one of my go-to neighborhood restaurants in Cambridge. One can be sure of getting a unique and refreshing menu, friendly, intelligent waitstaff and a relaxed time. There are a lot of restaurants in Cambridge, and this is one of the quiet gems.

    Cocktails were terrific. The menu looked great but the food was pretty mid. It’s disappointing to spend a lot for a meal like this. I won’t be back.

    The menu is very appealing and the service was excellent. The nonalcoholic drinks were scrumptious and complimented the meal. The cheesecake was unique and delicious. It was my first time visiting this restaurant and I’ll definitely go back.

    Food and wine was pretty average for the price. Oxtail was mostly fat and gristle. Dessert was dry and only a few wines were truly good. Staff was hit or miss. Some were very attentive, others gave you barely any attention. Felt I was rushed out of restaurant at the end. It’s a shame because I’ve been to Forage and thought it was fantastic. It might have just been their “Burgundy Night Dinner” that was the dud, but at $200/person for dinner I expect better quality and most of the dinner was lacking that.

    Been wanting to go here for months and it didn’t disappoint at all. The food was well thought out, wine list well curated, and service amazing. I am excited to go back soon.

    We absolutely loved the food, the service and the ambience. It was our anniversary and they sure made it special. The food is very tasty and well worth the money. The only minor complaint I have is that the cheese in the cheese plate was too little :)

    I love Forage! It's quiet and peaceful. The wait staff is on top of the whole process and very friendly. The food is excellent and creative. Their cocktails are balanced and delicious. My partner and daughter ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings chosen by the chef. Highly satisfactory!
