I cannot say enough great things about Forage Public House. I had driven by it several times as a Lakewood resident and I finally got my butt in there.
The ambiance is great, slightly classy, but you don't need to be decked to the 9s. We stopped by after an evening of bowling at Mahall's. It was too chilly to enjoy the patio, but the fireplace was a nice touch.
I love any place that has a bourbon menu. Not that I'm an expert, but I really enjoyed the drink I chose pretty much at random. I took Cleveland Magazine's recommendation and had the rabbit. It was delicious! I have never had rabbit before, so I wanted to give it whirl. It was sort of a cross between chicken and pork in my opinion. My boyfriend had a steak which he said was absolutely scrumptious. I was impressed by the bajillion different cheeses they offer to top your burger, each identified by its source.
The service was great to boot! I highly recommend this place for any foodies looking for someplace special to enjoy a locally-sourced meal.
