First time here. We brought our grandma for her birthday. Beautiful location. We sat outside where you can hear and see the river flowing and it was a beautiful day.

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.

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)

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.

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.

Room temperature was above 70° degrees and quite comfortable in the front room. Very crowded at 8pm on Fridays. Parking lot had 5 open spots. No Outdoor dining because of the rain. Dinner was ok. I would recommend to make an earlier reservation and do the tasting menu.

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.

The food was amazing and the waiters were very knowledgeable. The restaurant has a great ambiance, which makes for a lovely dinner experience. I tried escargot for the first time and it was very delicious. The veal was very good and the presentation was terrific.

A restaurant worthy of celebrating an anniversary, birthday, special occasion, or even a marriage proposal. Yes, this hidden gem is a fair distance to reach, but the quiet and relaxing atmosphere coupled with five-star service and exquisite cuisine française is worth the trek. Your loved ones will never forget the experience.
