Local TC couple own /create/serve at this amazing restaurant. Fri and Sat night only. 20 customers for each seating (one seating a night). It feels like you’re invited into their kitchen for an exquisite meal. We ordered the “wine pairing “ for each course (four tastings) for an additional $45 pp.

Had a wonderful experience at Forrest food studio! The food was plated beautifully and and had a unique taste. It was served at room temperature but I enjoyed the flavor combinations. It was difficult to have a conversation or hear, but otherwise great atmosphere. I enjoyed the wine pairing too!

Forrest made us (a group of 10 adults) an awesome New Year’s Eve meal! Lamb/beef meatballs and sausage flat bread appetizer, salad, steak and lobster mash potatoes, and a hazelnut monkey bread for dessert. He and his wife, Nicole, were a pleasure to work with, and they left the kitchen cleaner than they found it. Would highly recommend!

I NEVER miss a Thursday menu at Forrest. The food is incredible, locally sourced, connected to stories of travel around the world, and so varied from month to month. Highly recommend!

This is a fantastic representation of fine dining in Traverse City. Creative, fun, beautiful dishes presented by a kind husband and wife team. The wine pairings are unique and well matched. Plan well in advance and you won’t be disappointed!

My husband and I spent New Year’s Eve 2021 here enjoying a studio dinner. One of the best meals of our life! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The meal’s depth of flavor was exceptional – Forrest’s keen sense to every detail is apparent in every bite. It is hard to achieve a five star review but they absolutely deserve it! We will be back for sure.

Forrest + Nicole cooked for our wedding recently and we honestly could not recommend them more. In addition to being amazing, genuine people who deeply care about the source and quality of their food, they provided a great experience for our guests and we can say without a doubt that it was the best wedding food anyone in our group has ever had (bias aside). If you’re having a special event in the TC area and want some of the best food you’ve ever had, you should definitely reach out to them.

We booked Forrest & Nicole at The Food Studio for our wedding reception dinner and we couldn’t rave more about the experience. From the beginning they were very friendly and helpful in figuring out the meal choices and logistics. They also delivered apps and cocktails to our cocktail hour venue on the day of the wedding. Our guests LOVED all of the food and still talk about how thoughtful each course was, and I don’t think any other wedding reception dinner will ever compare. I can’t even choose a favorite course because they all outdid themselves. We will definitely be going back whenever we are in Traverse City!
