What an amazing dining experience. When I accidentally put the reservation in for the wrong day, they were super accommodating. The hostess sat us right away, and the server was outstanding. His recommendations really made the meal special.

Wonderful experiencing dining out at Forest! Our server, Vince, was fun and knowledgeable and able to make meals that didn’t fully exist for us. The food was amazing! The salmon was perfectly cooked and the truffle pasta was to die for. The atmosphere was very upscale and chill, and they played great music. Will definitely dine here again!

I had the pleasure of dining at Forest in Birmingham, Michigan, for a dinner date with my husband, and it was a truly elegant and memorable experience. The restaurant exuded an air of sophistication.

The food was nothing short of amazing, and the service matched the high quality of the cuisine. I had the salmon, which was delicious and left a lasting impression. My husband opted for the New York strip, and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Overall, our evening at Forest was simply amazing, combining excellent food and top-notch service. It's a place that offers a remarkable dining experience, perfect for a special night out.

Went for my wife’s birthday dinner. Beautiful restaurant. Small menu. Great pasta and drinks. She ordered the only steak a NY strip, very fatty and not worth the 65$ I think it cost. They should have a better different cut for that price. I have veal which was great. Elegant restaurant and great service. Seems like a regular spot for Birmingham elite.

Delicious food and great atmosphere, I'll definitely return.

The farm egg is everyone's favorite, and yes it's very good.

They lost one star by adding bacon to their bolognese which was only good after the first bite, then it became offensive.

The pasta special with shaved truffles looked nothing like the dozens of photos on Yelp and Google.

The baked Alaska was an item I got to go but it's not traditional.
Soft meringue that wasn't frozen and unusual center.

For the most part it was enjoyable.

My experience at Forest trail is very nice. The ambience was relaxing and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The quality of my meal was great and beautiful to look at and full of flavors. Do you believe the pricing to be quite high might be due to location and service received as I've been to very similar restaurants I have not paid as much for the amount of food served.

I would definitely return in the future.

I've been to Forest a few times before but not in years so I was excited to go back. It did not disappoint. From the relaxing patio environment to the service to the food, everything was practically perfect. Seared scallop appetizer was a generous portion and perfectly cooked. The Wagyy tomahawk was the real star. It's one of the best steaks I've had in the area and came with a choice of two sides. Drinks and coconut sorbet were tasty too!
