La Foret | A Forest Retreat for Fine Dining in San Jose 🌲🍽️
Discovered this hidden gem nestled in the San Jose woods—La Foret (literally "The Forest" in French) offers a menu that leans more classic American than French, but the ambiance? Pure woodland magic. 🍸 Drinks: Tried the Strawberry Mocktail—layered with soda and a sweet strawberry syrup at the bottom. Pro tip: Mix it well unless you love sugar rushes! 🍓💦 🥗 Starters: • Salade Francaise – Light, fresh, perfect palate cleanser • Sea Scallops – Two jumbo scallops on flaky pastry cups (the real MVP!) 🥘 Mains: • Ribeye – Solid, but not life-changing 🥩 • Prawns – Garlicky goodness, though a tad salty for my taste 🧄🦐 🍮 Desserts: • "I Can’t Decide" – A sampler of mini desserts (because why choose one?) • Bonus crème brûlée – Came with a candle for my birthday! 🎂🔥 Verdict: Cozy indoor/outdoor seating (we picked AC-cooled indoors—smart move in summer) ❄️ $100+ per person – Worth it for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries 💕) Service was attentive – They even remembered the birthday surprise! 📍 La Foret, San Jose #BayAreaEats #FineDining #SanJoseFoodie #BirthdaySpot #ForestVibes #DateNightGoals
