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

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

    Service was good, quick to our table about 7PM. The waitress said we had just missed the rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it was a nice setting. We sat at a high table with an elevated bench seat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. 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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tavern in the Forest is a really fun spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We popped in around 6pm on a Sunday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was fairly busy, but we had no problem getting a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

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

We were excited to try it out and made reservations a month ago for my birthday. Hostess was kind and pleasant.We were seated quickly. Our server, Nick, was very kind, knowledgeable and attentive. There were four of us, so we all tried something different. The place was very neat and clean. The tomato appetizer was small, but it exploded with taste. My wife got the Seabass and it was phenomenal. I got the pork chops and they were excellent, the best that I ever had that were not breaded. The sauce was phenomenal and it was perfect for the garlic mashed potatoes. We were looking forward most to the lobster mac & cheese, but disappointed that it was bland. We were also disappointed that they did not have the French onion soup this week. The potatoes au gratin stole the show. All four of us agreed those were the best. The polenta base under my wife's Seabass was not edible. Overall, it was a great experience and we definitely would go back and we would order the ribeye and try the other sides such as the brussels sprouts the next time. The ribeye was that great. Enjoy!!!

Tonight we placed a to go order consisting of a small sausage pizza, a side order of sautéed broccoli rabe, and a side order of sausage. The pizza was terrible. It was dry, with very thinly sliced bits of sausage on it, and was not what we've grown accustomed to. My husband wound up throwing it out. The side order of sausage was sliced too thin and was drowning in red sauce. We didn't ask for it in red sauce, and removed the sauce. That left us with tasteless sausage. We added garlic and oil in an effort to give it some flavor, but the sausage was so dried out. It was like eating jerky. another wasted order since it was tossed in the trash. Whether it's a problem in the kitchen this evening or something ongoing I can't say. I'm hoping to hear from the owners in reply to this review so that we can evaluate whether or not will continue going or will call it quits.

    Our table was outside, nice breeze and fun music! (Paul was the musician)…read more Our server was great, she allowed us the extra time to settle in and enjoy our drink before we ordered food. One from our group ordered quesadillas, she enjoyed them a lot. We also had guacamole and the boiled shrimp. The shrimp was such a generous portion, it came out warm, and not on any ice, which was surprising to us. It was too hot to peel when served and so we had to let it sit for a bit. It was very good, the flavor was great however, there were a few of them that were getting mushy towards the end. If I ordered this again, I would ask them to plop them on some ice. The guacamole and chips were fantastic. The reason I took off a star was because the happy hour menu was only offered in the bar. The bar had a large private party that night and therefore wasn't really available for us. I think if you're going to have a happy hour, it's kind of ridiculous not to extend it out to all the tables. I typically don't go to restaurants that only offer it in the bar.

I did end up ordering the chicken and waffles, it was OK, but have had better in many other places. What was frustrating is they would not do the grouper as it was too early in the day. So between the lack of service, mediocre food and lack of grouper, just can't recommend this place.

They always want to sit in the Raccoon Cove bar out back, which has a great fireplace for cold nights and a food stand that brings the local raccoons by for dinner. You can also watch them from the sunroom-style dining room if you'd rather stay inside. The indoor decor is fun too (Ace Ventura would call it a lovely room of death) with all the animal trophies on the walls. The pork ribeye over sweet potato mash isn't going to win any beauty contests, but don't judge that book by its cover because it was very tender and delicious. It's definitely a new favorite! The Steak Au Poivre is another one with a sauce that elevated an already well-cooked (but not well-done!) steak. My wife's Seafood Alfredo was wonderful, including the bites she let me steal, and the Lowcountry chowder was excellent. Her other favorites are the Filet Neptune and the Mahi-Mahi. The Thai BBQ ribs are also a big hit with the family, but somehow I still haven't gotten to try one. Next time. This is the "good" Joe's. They don't serve hamburgers here, but they do know how to cook a steak. The food is excellent, the service has always been good, and they've nailed the local upscale-casual restaurant and bar vibe. The only real downside is the tiny parking lot. You can park at the ice cream place too (overflow lot), but Joe really needs to make friends with the beachwear megastore next door because their back lot always seems to have plenty of empty spaces!
