The architecture of our Short Rib relies entirely on opposing forces. On one side, you’ve got the deeply concentrated richness of beef and unctuous Taleggio polenta. On the other, the sharp and sweet snap of Calabrian chili jam. Pushing the boundaries of that classic savory-sweet dance before snapping you back with lingering heat. Don’t miss this one or you’ll be sorry.

We’re closed tomorrow for the holiday, but our Village Salad is kicking off the celebration a little early. Come cool down before you hit the weekend cookout. Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

We treat our daily bread program with a level of seriousness that borders on the unreasonable. This focaccia is engineered for structural contrast. A heavily seeded, golden exterior gives way immediately to an expansive, airy interior — an aggressively perfect sponge for olive oil, or that last bit of veal demiglace you left on your plate.

You look like you could use a spritz today.

Our Timo Limone combines limoncello, lemon thyme, gin, and prosecco to cool you down when the temperatures climb.

Stop in for one Monday through Friday this holiday week. Saluti!

It’s VEAL CHOP FRIDAY!

Yeah, so maybe we just made that up. But when the set is this good, any day can be veal chop day. (Except Sundays… we’re closed Sundays.)

You will notice a distinct lack of neon cherries. We prefer our Amaretto Sour entirely stripped of its nostalgic baggage. The drink relies strictly on the tension between a rich, almond-forward liqueur and a sharp hit of citrus, all suspended beneath a flawless foam. It is a stark, beautifully engineered cocktail that doesn’t require unnecessary garnishes to command the room.

There are very few plates that balance delicate restraint with savory depth quite like our Veal Tonnato. The thinly sliced veal acts as a quiet canvas for the rich complexity of the tonnato sauce and the sudden, botanical bite of caper berries. As we look toward the next menu shift, its days are strictly numbered. Start your week by making the necessary arrangements to see it off.

Our Branzino relies entirely on the discipline of knowing when to push and when to pull back. The fish itself is kept pristine and delicate, acting as a clean foundation for the tightly woven complexity of zucchini caponata and currants. It delivers an immediate rush that cuts straight through the richness of the table. A lighter, summer-leaning plate that still delivers an unapologetic impact.

There’s a reason you see a plate of our grilled artichokes on almost every table here at Forest. But with the season shifting into summer, you may not have many more chances to find out for yourself. Don’t be that person.

A proper veal demi-glace isn’t just a sauce; it’s a real commitment.

For our Agnolotti, it serves as the dark, savory anchor to the delicate confit garlic ricotta hiding inside each hand-folded pocket. It is a demanding, deeply restorative dish built for the precise moment you decide you deserve something special for dinner.
