Le Foret Restaurant Review: To characterize Le Foret as “elegant” is to understate its grandiosity. Glistening chandeliers and the hustle-bustle of the seasoned waiters elevate the atmosphere. A chef's tasting menu features six courses, and might offer such dishes as crispy lamb belly with pickled ramp, chard, radish and wild onion oil. The menu changes seasonally and seeks out local, seasonal ingredients, as well as those sourced from far afield. A roasted loin of rabbit is stuffed with golden raisins and paired with rabbit mousse, pea tendrils and English peas; one will also most likely find carrot tagliatelle, veal sweetbreads, moulard duck and wild Alaskan halibut. When soft-shell crabs are in season, they are prepared with a cornmeal crust and a salad of jumbo lump crab meat and cherry tomatoes. Order the Black Forest soufflé (if available) at the beginning of your meal, so it's ready when you are for dessert. The masterfully assembled wine list includes selections from California's best producers and first-rate choices from Burgundy and Bordeaux, in addition to several options from Spain's Vega Sicilia. Le Foret is a destination for grown-up dining. Servers are well-informed in regard to ingredients, preparations and wine recommendations. |
