Cool, hip, modern, local food.
We were searching for a place to eat In Lakewood, and came upon Forage. Having been open for only a couple of weeks, we were surprised how busy the restaurant already has become (and we went on a Tuesday night!)
The restaurant has more of a rustic feel, but cozy at the same time. We were seated right away and ordered some great dishes:
- duck fat chicken wings in TOB bbq sauce- they were the right amount of crispness and sauciness
- lake perch tacos (it was taco Tues) which were fried lightly, with a great sauce
- pork belly tacos- I loved these as they weren't fatty- it was real meat in a bed of cilantro. Also it wasn't too saucy either (because I really hate it when you eat tacos and the sauce is dripping all over your hands)
Overall I thought Forage was excellent. Apparently, demetrios used to be the chef at Deagans before he opened up this restaurant.. So they have a similar feel. I really like how most of their ingredients are local to Ohio as well-(cool!)
Check it out soon- it's quite good!
