    What an amazing, innovative and charming restaurant! The waitstaff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The food is sublime, we paired our dinner with unique and refreshing non- alcoholic drinks. We also sampled a couple of the wines by the glass which were excellent. We look forward to returning back for another meal on our next visit to Cambridge.

    Delicious food. We did the vegan tasting menu and omnivore tasting menu. Both were delicious. It's hard to find vegan food that had good protein and real vegetables and this hit all marks! We'll definitely be back for another special occasion.

    We had two different tasting menus: carnivore and vegetarian. Both were terrific. Service was impeccable and when we didn't like a course, they replaced it without needing to ask. Wine was very well paired. Excellent experience overall.

    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!!

    The quiet, friendly, intimate ambience of Forage makes it a lovely evening. It is one of my go-to neighborhood restaurants in Cambridge. One can be sure of getting a unique and refreshing menu, friendly, intelligent waitstaff and a relaxed time. There are a lot of restaurants in Cambridge, and this is one of the quiet gems.

    Cocktails were terrific. The menu looked great but the food was pretty mid. It’s disappointing to spend a lot for a meal like this. I won’t be back.

    The menu is very appealing and the service was excellent. The nonalcoholic drinks were scrumptious and complimented the meal. The cheesecake was unique and delicious. It was my first time visiting this restaurant and I’ll definitely go back.
