What contributes to value and a great overall experience? We've been coming to Le Foret for a long time. We bring guests and have certain expectations for the drive, how the place will look, both outside and in, the service, the menu offerings and the food. Over the years, we appreciate the degree to which they have preserved every detail of the original concept of the restaurant. On this particular visit with out-of-town visitors, we had a difficult circumstance. The manager provided a great solution. Service was very professional. The food was exactly as we had hoped and they went beyond. The result was that we had a wonderful dinner experience with our visitors and all left feeling just great!

As a customer who has dined here over 50X, this is clearly one of my favorite restaurants. Per usual, the food was delightful, but I was shocked to find they had decided to implement an "auto-gratuity" program where they tipped themselves before I could sign the check. Total bill was $585.78 for dinner and "self-added" tip. Unlike this establishment to surprise patrons with this kind of change of policy. Make no mistake, service was good - but I still like to determine the gratuity and take from "lesser service" waitstaff and giv to "greater service" waitstaff.

As you enter this fabulous dining experience from Checking in to the presentation of table through service everyone was cheerful and made you feel special. The tables and service made you feel you were not rushed and they asked if you needed more of items or time. Recommend the Escargot, the Veal and Wild Boar, and every desert. The staff is very helpful with food allergies and their menu . A night to rember and revisit again.

It had been several years since we had been there. I had remembered it being a very good place to eat. Last night was very bad. We were warmly greeted, but it was down hill from there. We were introduced to our server right away. He took our order but then it was at least 15 to 20 minutes before our appetizers were served and then another few minutes before the main course. The food was pretty good and was hot. The escargot was not as good as I remembered in that they were very, very small with lots of sauce. I don't think we will return there as it is too costly for what you get both in service and food.

Appalling Classist Behavior from the Maître d' Ruined Our Anniversary Dinner My wife and I recently dined at La Foret for our anniversary, and while the food was fine and the atmosphere was impressive, the experience was marred by the blatant classist attitude of the Maître d'. Upon being seated, my wife casually remarked that the restaurant looked very nice and fancy—what any reasonable person would say upon entering a Michelin-starred establishment. Rather than a polite acknowledgment, the Maître d' responded with a condescending scoff. This dismissive reaction was not only unnecessary but downright disrespectful. It's clear that the Maître d' believes some guests are more deserving of respect than others, likely based on their social status or supposed level of sophistication in fine dining. Let’s get one thing straight: treating guests differently based on their perceived class, wealth, or experience is absolutely foul. No one should ever be made to feel out of place or unwelcome because they don't fit some narrow definition of 'appropriate.' True class is shown by one's actions, not by the size of your bank account or the number of Michelin stars you've eaten under. The Maître d' failed miserably on this front. It’s disappointing that in a restaurant of this caliber, an employee with such a limited sense of hospitality is allowed to dictate the tone of the evening. The night was meant to be a celebration, but this treatment completely ruined it. If La Foret’s staff can’t treat everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of their background, they shouldn’t be in the business of ‘fine dining.’ And for the record, our server was wonderful!
