You select the items you want to purchase and then bring to the restaurant. Walking into the café/restaurant, there wasn't a sign "wait here to be seated" etc. or anything like that.. so we caught the attention of a waitress who was friendly and sat us at a table. The forest nook was busy on this Saturday afternoon. The patrons seem to be locals and visitors as well. The menu had something for everyone and our server was quite friendly. My boyfriend ordered the personal pizza which was incredibly fresh. I ordered the steak and cheese sandwich. My sandwich was also delicious and very filling. There were specialty cocktails available as well as beer on the menu. I really enjoyed the outside décor of The Forest Nook. The restaurant updates their hours and special events on their facebook page. They also accept reservations on their website. We had a great first experience and cannot to return!!

I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was able to place a 'to go' order of wings. I was told it would be about 15 min. perfect to let me take a walk. The wings were cooked perfectly, I always worry about undercooked. I got them with bbq sauce and asked for a side of hot sauce and a side of blue cheese sauce. Xtra charge and I was good with that . The blue cheese actually had chunks that were really good blue cheese, not just crumbled. The serving was small but good quality. Overall. Highly recommend the food.

For food - we got pierogis and pepperoni and cheese balls. They were outstanding. You could tell the pierogis were scratch made, and they covered with so much delicious butter. Pepperoni and cheese ball is a misleading title - these were mini calzones, and they were scrumptious!! The dough was excellent, and they were packed with pepperoni and cheese. For my entree, I had the sea bass, which was a special. My fish was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful caper sauce! I really enjoyed the food and experience here. Get a gift card - that helps secure a reservation, as the restaurant said they are honoring gift cards through email as opposed to the phone system of getting a reservation. Just going to be honest -- is it worth spending a whole day calling for a reservation? Respectfully, no. If you can secure one, go - it's worth it. If you don't, there are many restaurants of similar or better quality with an easier way of getting a reservation.
