“Not only is the food amazing, but the whole experience, including wine pairings and learning about the food and wines selected, was exceptional. This was the best dinner we’ve had in TC and quite possibly ever. We’re excited to go back again and again!”

“Discovering Forrest, A Food Studio was like finding a hidden gem tucked away in Traverse City. Walking in, the ambiance immediately felt like a warm embrace, with a wall of coat hooks inviting us to get cozy and settle in. What struck me most was the communal spirit—individual parties seated together, fostering a sense of connection. The menu, a testament to simplicity and quality, showcased expertly prepared ingredients speaking for themselves. No need for elaborate explanation or instruction; each dish spoke volumes with its flavors and textures. And the wine pairings? Impeccable. They elevated each course, complementing the flavors in delightful harmony. And let’s not forget the gin martini—a true masterpiece, setting the bar high for libations. While Forrest may lean towards a splurge, it’s a treat worth the occasional indulgence. The passion of Forrest and Nicole for their craft is palpable, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.”

“Forrest made us (a group of 10 adults) an awesome New Year's Eve meal! Lamb/beef meatballs and sausage flat bread appetizer, salad, steak and lobster mash potatoes, and a hazelnut monkey bread for dessert. He and his wife, Nicole, were a pleasure to work with, and they left the kitchen cleaner than they found it. Would highly recommend!”

“Had a wonderful experience at Forrest food studio! The food was plated beautifully and and had a unique taste. It was served at room temperature but I enjoyed the flavor combinations. It was difficult to have a conversation or hear, but otherwise great atmosphere. I enjoyed the wine pairing too!”
