La Foret Restaurant

Just got back from dinner here so that should tell you how urgent it feels to write this- thank you so much for the host (didn’t get his name but he greeted us at the door and gave us free champagne) and our server Eva! I just had the best meal and experience I’ve ever had in a restaurant. I will never forget about the scallops, mushroom soup, the rib eye, crème brûlée and soufflé! They tasted so amazing and delicately crafted and prepared for us. We will be coming back soon!

The staff (and owner) were super attentive and nice, the location (in a woodsy ravine next to a flowing creek) is VERY charming, and the food is excellent quality French. It is very pricey, but I’ve never been to a French restaurant that is not. It is possible for a couple to spend almost triple digits (with tip) if they start with a couple of cocktails and then opt for the flagship 7-course tasting menu plus the 7-wine paring (both of which are AWESOME). It is also possible to have a nice meal for far less than half of that. Not to limit it, but this is a perfect place to start an anniversary tradition! The only downside is that it is a LONG way from most of us, but the last mile or so is a scenic canyon drive that makes you want to move out there. We also always sit inside because (a) it is guaranteed to be a comfortable temperature, (b) it can be buggy outside when it has been warm (it is on the ground floor right next to the creek and standing pools of water), and (c) it seems like it is much easier for the wait staff to keep an eye on us because they are always coming in/out of the kitchen.

Well deserved 5 stars. I have to say this is one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. Every single bite was incredible. The servings were ample, definitely not small servings at all. The service was the best and very, very friendly and helpful, and the view was beautiful overlooking the patio. took a little while to get there out into the country but I enjoyed the pretty drive. Kudos to the entire staff. It was expensive but given the experience we had, it was well worth it.

A GEM! I enjoyed Tasting Menu No 1 while my companions had Tasting Menu No. 2. The Tasting Menus are pricey but the selections are worth it and everything was prepared perfectly and presented beautifully. Service was excellent. We sat outside by the creek and really enjoyed it. Will definitely return to La Floret when I am next in the area.

We dined at La Foret for Mother’s Day Brunch. They offer a limited menu with some nice selections for Sunday Brunch. The food and presentation was very good; service was a little slow and could have been a bit more attentive but that could have been due to being very busy that day. Reservations are highly recommended.

What an amazing dining experience. A friend suggested we come to La Foret for a special birthday. Our server was Michael. Michael was fabulous. We could not have had better service. The food was amazing, From the appetizers, entrees and desserts. The handcrafted cocktails and the atmosphere we're delightful. What a very special place nestled in beautiful surroundings. La Foret Is is a true Silicon Valley dining gem.

We had dinner there to celebrate our anniversary. Restaurant is a bit oldie, but service and food are amazing. Apparently it is the first two story hotel in CA. During the night time, we can only hear the river sound but no view. While my husband was expecting it has view (from his search criteria). Oh well, food is great. They also gave us a complementary desert to celebrate our anniversary. Definitely can’t compare their setting with many fancy restaurants in Palo Alto. But food and services totally worthy the visit. (Parking is easy. They have their own parking lot. It’s at somewhere of nowhere)
