| - Green forest is this nondescript restaurant in a nondescript building on a nondescript hill, just off Rodi Road in Penn Hills.
But like a geode, it's this lovely, expensive gem of a place that's totally worth the price of admission. Why? ...because THEY HAVE THE MEATS!!
Cow, pig, chicken, turkey, lamb, shrimp and lobster.
I see your Arby's commercials and I raise you unlimited rashers of slow-cooked tastiness fit for a king - if that king was a sharp-toothed T-Rex.
My first trip was the "amateur" side, but even that was impressive, with piles of lobster claws in (very little) rice, colossal shrimp, prosciutto, sopresetta and a full salad bar.
Next was the non-stop meat round and it was awesome. Steaks, roasts, sausage, some phenomenal lamb chops, lots of items wrapped in bacon...
Funniest thing heard all day: "Sir, would you like some rotisserie thick-cut bacon, fresh out of the flames?" Why yes, yes I would! #omnomnom
Service was excellent, food was awesome and the Only thing i would avoid is the bitter-tart passion fruit mousse (yecch!), which obliterated the nice meat mojo I had going at the end. Other than that (and the whole nondescript thing), my meal was great as it was the last two times I was here.
