First and foremost, we are incredibly grateful for the kindness, loyalty, and support of our guests. Seeing so many familiar and unfamiliar faces walk through our doors each day is something we never take for granted. Thanks to you, our business has grown beyond what we ever imagined, and we are truly humbled by the continued support.

As we continue to grow and evolve, reservations are becoming less of a recommendation and more of a necessity. While we always do our best to accommodate walk-ins, making a reservation helps us provide the best possible experience for everyone.

We’d also like to touch on seating requests. We understand that certain tables are favorites, while others may be less desirable to some guests. We will always do our best to honor table preferences and make adjustments when possible, but there may be times when we are unable to accommodate specific requests.

At The Forager, we take great pride in maintaining the standards that have brought us to where we are today—exceptional service, fresh and thoughtfully prepared food, and a clean, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere. To uphold these standards, we carefully manage our seating and reservations to ensure every guest receives the experience they deserve. Our team works incredibly hard every day, and thoughtful scheduling and seating arrangements help set them up for success as well.

This year marks seven years since we first opened our doors, and what an incredible journey it has been. We are constantly looking ahead, finding ways to improve, grow, and serve our community even better. We are excited for what the future holds, and we’re so grateful to have you along for the ride.

Thank you for being such an important part of The Forager’s story. We simply couldn’t do it without you.
