Forestville​の暖炉があるベストレストラン

Food was outstanding. Some really interesting and inventive dishes. We both kept remarking, "Wow...I've never tasted anything quite like this!"...so that was very exciting. 5 Stars for the food...quality, taste, execution, presentation, thoughtfulness of preparation. The dining room is really lovely and comfortable. Noise level was low, so it was easy to have a normal conversation, which we appreciated. Sometimes restaurants can be too loud and this one wasn't...so points for figuring out the right acoustics! The only criticism had to do with the waitstaff. First, there are way too many servers on the floor...they were racing around and sometimes (literally) bumping into each other. It created a bit of a chaotic feel in the background. Also, the servers were a bit too interactive and tried to be conversational and "jokey", rather than just being pleasant and focusing on the dining experience. Everyone was friendly enough, but they lacked a little polish/professionalism in their interactions, particularly for a restaurant of this caliber. Overall, the experience was good and the food really was amazing. We will go back and will also recommend to friends. It's on the high-end of dining experiences, so perfect for a special occasion.

We'll be sad to see this place go! We asked why the limited Menu today, and only as of 11am and the servers told us they're closing River Vine down in 2 weeks after the actual John Ash restaurant is done with construction updates. The full menu supposedly will return then, and I sure hope there will be a Patio again too - walked by the back and it looks like there will be. River Vine has awesome servers and upon asking they said they're safe, will be transferring to JA.

I think because it was Jan 1st perhaps they were short staffed. Everything was beautiful. The food was great. We did have to ask for our waiter to pour the wine when we’d waited awhile with empty glasses. We will still be back.

The Christmas Eve special event dinner was very good. The food was creative and they were very helpful dealing with a dairy intolerance issue. It was a it pricey, but worth it.

What a hidden gem! From the service to the food, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
