    Amazing food and drinks! We had the oysters, half charcuterie board, mussels and the artichokes. Everything was so delicious and 3-4 plates is perfect for 2 people. Our waiter Luis was awesome and always made sure we had everything we needed. It’s a louder vibe so just know that going in, but it’s fun and a great casual dinner spot.

    The beers were amazing! The different flavor combinations were subtle, yet distinctive. We started with the cheese plate, which was very tasty. A nice mix of soft and firm cheeses that complimented each other. Each of your main meals held wonderful flavor surprises. I would highly recommend the short ribs, the duck, and the mushroom pot pie! To finish off our meal we had coffee and a slice of their chocolate beer cake! We shared the cake amongst the three of us! The server was very attentive and allowed us plenty of time to explore the menu. I’ll be coming back to Forbidden Root!!! Also, a big shout out to Check Please! Great choice!
