This was our first visit to Forage and it was remarkable. Quiet but friendly ad passionate people working there who were happy to take many questions about the food, never rushing but also bringing out each course in just the right time. Two of our party are vegan and the server marked up our menu showing which dishes could be made vegan, which was so helpful. And the food was AMAZING. Just unbelievably good. 10 our of 10!!

This was a trip with my girlfriend and I to Boston for the New Years weekend. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at various places. This place had an amazing Blue Cheese burger that was so delicious! They made some amazing smoked old-fashioned drinks as well! Definitely would go back when up in Boston!
