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.

The first sip of the Monte Rossini has a funny way of making whatever you were just stressed about feel remarkably insignificant.

We built this glass on deliberate, uplifting contrasts: the dark, herbal weight of Montenegro pulled sharply out of its comfort zone by bright lemon and a tart strawberry shrub. The sugar rim is just the opening argument for a drink that feels less like a cocktail and more like a highly effective, beautifully lit exhale.

It’s too hot to cook. Stop by for some yellowfin crudo and a refreshing spritz instead.
