    I enjoy visiting family and meeting up at Tavern in the Forest. It's a fun environment with good food and even better service. Always had a great time there!

    Service was good, quick to our table about 7PM. The waitress said we had just missed the rush. Overall, it was a nice setting. We sat at a high table with an elevated bench seat. The food was decent, nothing that would make me beg to come back, but not bad either. My espresso martini was yummy! Overall, a 3 for us means we would give it another chance, but we aren't craving to rush back.

    Tavern in the Forest is a really fun spot! We popped in around 6pm on a Sunday. It was fairly busy, but we had no problem getting a table. They have really good happy hours deals as well especially for appetizers and drinks! Our server was very kind and we had great service throughout the evening. We ordered the buffalo chicken dip to split for our group of three. It was a good portion to split and very tasty! Can't really go wrong with a buffalo chicken dip in my opinion. Then I enjoyed the specialty slice of the day which was a cheeseburger-style pizza with beef, pickle, tomato, and a fun burger sauce. It was just like a burger on a pizza! Plus I love anywhere that served by the slice, so you can mix and match! Overall, great experience for some bar food.

    Food was good. Had wings which were crispy and tasty and fried pickles. The homemade ranch was a standout. Pizza was good. Place was crowded but a good time.

    Teriyaki burger was great! 1st time here, nice atmosphere. Low key. Can bring the family or have a drink with friends. Staff was friendly, could have been a little more attentive and refilled drinks. Would try again if we were in the area.

    yall, they got such good food! ask for Leah, she is the kindest server, my family went out…read moreyesterday, and Leah was so attentive to us. I ordered a drink, it was Incorrect, Leah made sure it was corrected. give that girl a RAIIISE yall! 10/10 customer service. It was a dark moody setting, perfect for date nights or special occasion. already recommended this place to friends and family and recommend Leah for their server! hope you get some amazing tips girlie you are AWESOME!!!!!

    J. Peters Grill & Bar is a pretty standard casual dining spot that doesn't really stand out…read morecompared to other local options in the area. The food overall is just okay.. nothing particularly memorable or something that would make you want to rush back. The one consistent highlight is the house salad, which is "hot bacon" and unique compared to the rest of the menu. Beyond that, most dishes tend to feel average, the Alfredo is just ok and while nothing is necessarily bad, there's not much that elevates the experience either. The environment also doesn't do much to enhance the visit. It's fairly plain, dark black, and lacks any real character or atmosphere that makes it feel special or worth choosing over other nearby restaurants. Overall, it's an "it's fine" kind of place; serviceable if you're already there, but there are plenty of stronger local spots worth going to first.

The…read moreapproach is awkward and confusing, tucked away enough that you begin to wonder if you've accidentally wandered into the maintenance area instead of a restaurant. Once inside, though, the place is genuinely attractive. The dining room is bright, clean-looking, and modern, with a relaxed coastal style. The outdoor patio and beach view are the real stars. Sitting outside looking toward the ocean is exactly why people come to a place like this. The food was mostly good. The chips were thin and crisp, the guacamole fresh and homemade, and the salsa was simple but tasty. The chili lime bowls were fresh and flavorful, and the beach bowl and surf-and-turf salad were both very good. The kids' burger special with two little sliders and fries was a smart idea and worked perfectly. The margaritas were also good. The Salt & Lime margarita and the Flaca "skinny" margarita were both enjoyed by everyone at the table. Our server, Pierre, was excellent--friendly, attentive, and easygoing. And despite the name, no, he is not French. Unfortunately, the restroom was a real problem. The dining room looked polished, but the restroom was visibly dirty, with grime and stains around the fixtures and toilet. Fair or not, that always makes people wonder how careful the kitchen is as well. A restaurant can spend a fortune on light fixtures and ocean views, but if the restroom is neglected, people notice. Overall, Salt & Lime has a beautiful setting, good food, good drinks, and a terrific server, but the restroom and awkward entrance keep it from being a place I could fully recommend without hesitation.

We left sad and disappointed to way they talked to us. What could improve? If food is coming, alert your table, then look around and ask if you can provide refills, keep eyes open when customers are flagging arms to get your attention, our server veered 12 feet away to avoid contact to refill glass of water. Treat people politely and don't argue when trying to get help.
