Forage Restaurant in Orangeville

First time at Forage. Had heard it was great so was excited to try it. I was very underwhelmed. It s a bit crowded. Not much space between the tables. I had the Korean pakoras as a starter. They were delicious but basically they were buffalo cauliflower with a fancy name. Then I had the beef burger and sweet potato fries. I wasn t impressed. The burger was dry and tasteless and the sweet potato fries were dry as well. It was pricey for a meal I didn t enjoy. I don t think I ll go back.

I reached out to Forage about catering for a small group of friends and they were so accommodating, gave a couple options and the price was very reasonable. The food was amazing and packaged very nicely at pick up. I highly recommend! Thank you so much. Dietary restrictions: Gluten, dairy and egg free

took our daughter here for her birthday dinner we all loved our choices lovely food

Wonderful service and food. Would go again Vegetarian options: Did not try any but lots available Parking: Large parking lot

Menu covers all areas. Specials are terrific and staff is great.

Great food great atmosphere beautiful servers

Meal was lovely. Servers were excellent. Space is slightly cramped but will come again for sure

As a family that has celiac dietary restrictions, it was incredible to see the that Forage takes it very seriously. Outstanding food, amazing service and did I mention outstanding food!!!! We will be here a lot. Forage just became our favourite restaurant. Dietary restrictions: Celiac safe, without the sacrifice on taste. The gf flatbread is elite.

Fantastic food. We come back again and again. Only comment really is they should use much better quality napkins Vegetarian options: Variety of dishes

Wonderful vegan selection. Food was amazing our waitress Anne was lovely, very attentive and very friendly. Will definitely come back.

This was our first time back since the new ownership, and we were pleased to see that the food, atmosphere, and the staff are still amazing. The portions are very generous. Thank you so much for maintaining a vegan menu, and for your hospitality. We will definitely visit more frequently. --------- Fantastic experience! The food was incredible, the atmosphere was just right, and the service was exceptionally friendly. My main reason for coming here was their vegan menu, which was amazing. Ive already returned and plan to keep coming back the drive is definitely worth it. What makes this place stand out is its inclusivity, catering to non-vegans, but also to vegans with equal perfection. Its an ideal choice for groups, especially when you have a mix of dietary preferences, as everyone can enjoy their meal to the fullest. Dont forget to call ahead and make reservations. Vegetarian options: Fantastic vegan menu!

Excellent food and great waitress. Very busy and a bit loud but it s a small place!

Great food and service, our server Carla was great and always came when we needed, affordable aswell. We will be coming back

Wonderful assortment on their vegan menu! Vegetarian options: I had the Mediterranean falafel bowl, fantastic. Food : 5/5 |

The food is great that can t be taken away. But you d be hard pressed to find a place that is more disrespectful to its customers. It s like you re eating amazing food that you have to order from a service Ontario.

AMAZING food! We could not decide on what we wanted to we split the sandwich (chicken and Brie) and the whipped feta salad AMAZING !!

Food and service was fantastic, gnocchi and pesto cream pasta are both good options. Will definitely return and recommend

A really atmospheric place with the style and a good vibe. Waitresses are friendly, food is interesting and tasty. We had a coconut soup, a Caribbean style stew and a mango cheesecake, and everything was delicious. Vegetarian options: There are a lot of options for vegetarians

The feature menus are a lot of fun and the staff is very friendly.

Ive had a hankering for ravioli in a brown butter sage sauce and by golly i got it! Great chef, great food. Will be coming back

My husband and I had a wonderful experience tonight at Forage. Chef Matthew is still one of the most charming, sincere and talented owners/operators I ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Our server, Simone, automatically connects genuinely with her customers and takes great care of everyone, lucky enough to be sat in her section. The FOOD was delicious, fresh, quality through and through and thoroughly enjoyed. We split the grilled calamari with an accompanied dipping sauce. This blew us away. We hadn t enjoyed calamari like this in a long time! Our filet mignon with scalloped potatoes and veg were so delicious too. We didn t require steak knives as the meat was so tender and fresh. I was so happy to see the chocolate flourless cake on the menu. It did not disappoint. Love how it is slightly warmed to perfect temperature and served with freshly whipped cream and fresh berries. It s probably the best flourless cake I ve had in my life. My husband enjoyed his chocolate pecan pie too. Going to make this a regular spot to go again, solo and with my husband. Thank you Matthew, Simone and team for such a wonderful experience tonight!

Spent our 50th wedding anniversary here!!

A beautiful hidden gem! We were there during their Lobsterfest and were not disappointed! Wonderful starters, salads, mains and desserts with friendly, helpful staff. We will return!

Great food, amazing service, and super nice atmosphere

We had a great appetizer and a fantastic dinner!!

Extremely diaappointed as we made reservations foe our anniversary dinner and come here regularily arrive and told that online reservatikns throigh open table do not count had to wait an addirional 35 monutes for a table

Excellent options for GF and vegan.

*Updated review* This restaurant is still my favourite in Orangeville! They have extended their Lobsterfest Menu another 2 weeks into July and the lobster Mac&Cheese is fantastic. My other entrees of choice are the Black&Blue Salad and Butter Chicken.

A fabulous find! Delicious, fresh and colourful.

Went to this restaurant last night. The server was extremely WEIRD! First off, she started pouring water before we even sat down while my mom patiently waited to sit. She then quickly said the soup of the day and walked away. I asked to order an app because my children were hungry, she proceeded to tell me oh we dont have that and promptly walked away. Took our orders, everything was yummy. Order the chicken marsala which was basically chicken parm. She didnt care that we werent impressed with it, again walked away. WEIRD LADY! Asked them to spice up the muscles- Fantastic! Food and drinks came out fast and overall the food was very good. They sat us at a table of 6 which was crammed in beside other people. Odd menu- just different types of food all around. But again, the food was good. Very clean place. Not sure Id return in fear of getting that server again...

A wonderful place for lunch or dinner. The food is spectacular.

Just had the butter chicken curry with naan bread and the Mediterranean falafel bowl and they were both excellent! Very flavourful food here! Must try if you re in town. The dessert was also divine!

Love this comfortable place, welcoming and homey.

I was going to do an online order and get take out. for the Buddha bowl. $22.00 not a bad price for what I was expecting. HST $3.19 (not the issue). Take out charge $2.50 (this is what I have an issue with). Grand total $27.69. The end result I did not order because of the take out charge. Something like this should be calculated into the cost of the food if you need to offset the cost of the take out container.. they made $0.00 from me as I went somewhere else for dinner.

A leisurely, beautifully presented lunch in a beautiful place with art and unique, delicious choices on the menu. I had the Apple goat cheese salad and would for sure order it again. Vegetarian options: There is a whole seperate menu for Vegans with good choices.

Lunch date with hubby, great portions and quality of food.

Food is always amazing. The service is fantastic.

Not kid friendly what so ever, if your child makes any kind of noise they will come over to your table and make a scene 10x bigger then your child did so that the whole restaurant will turn and look at you. Worst part was they made a scene when we were literally eating last bite of desert and about to leave.... Also very very slow service, took 3 hours total to get and eat our meal! Will not return.

my entire family loves this place

Food, service and atmosphere was excellent. We had the Lobster Roll and the angel hair pasta with the cranberry Brie crustini as an appetizer. All were excellent! Food

Went to celebrate my Birthday and retirement. Food and service was excellent

Casual Gourmet perfectly describes the ridiculously mouthwatering (and insanely reasonable!) dishes we always have here, and continually see paraded out to other tables at Forage. Whether its fresh lobster, steak or lightly crisped and charred tofu, there isnt a greasy, unseasoned, low-grade protein in sight. Also MIA are cheap, empty carbs; just the freshest and juiciest (and mostly local) grilled veg and mixed greens, all finished with the same attention as the steak and lobster. The service is, as usual, impeccable, particularly Mel, who always amazes and makes everyone feel like theyre at home, but just with much better food. Our sincerest compliments to Chef Neil, Morgan and the entire team for giving us the kind of unforgettable quality, atmosphere and value we cant find in Toronto. Cheers!

Food is PHENOMENAL. Service was PHENOMENAL. I will say I don t think the menu does the food justice. I was underwhelmed by the description but the food was outstanding. Highly HIGHLY recommend .

NOT A KID FRIENDLY RESTAURANT!! I dont know why this restaurant has highchairs if they expect children to be completely silent. We were just finishing up dessert when our waitress, the older women with the short brown hair rudely told us that there were other people in the restaurant and that our child needed to be quiet. Our reservation was for 6pm and it took almost 3 hours to finally leave, the service was insanely slow. For being seated in a restaurant for 3 hours our son was insanely good, he isnt even two yet. Id love to know what two year old can be capable of this. It bothers me that it was literally closing time and this woman chose to say this to us, totally put a sour end to our night. My salad had way too much dressing & calamari was rubbery and overcooked. I was a fan of the sweet potato fries and would definitely have returned just for those but after the way we were treated we wont be back again and will be telling everyone we know to stay far away. We have been dining out with our son for two years and have NEVER been treated like this, shame on you. Edit to owners response: Im extremely shocked at the reply as it is completely untrue. Just because this restaurant is in the process of being sold does not mean you should be rude to your customers, clearly the owners dont care anymore. My son had a few very short outbursts and they were handled right away. As any parent should know, toddlers are not perfect but he was not disturbing guests whatsoever and was kept busy with items we brought to distract him. Should he have had an actual outburst i most definitely would have brought him outside but it simply didnt happen! Going into a restaurant with a child is always nerve wracking and I have always had positive experiences in the other places I have dined. From the moment we walked into Forage though I could tell they werent pleased to see a child with us. Hopefully you will actually improve upon your service times as 3 hours is ridiculous! I had globs full of dressing in my salad that had twice the amount of dressing needed, couldnt eat the last of it as it was just too much dressing. Very disappointed in the way you have handled this issue, sometimes an apology can go a long way! Kid-friendliness: NOT KID FRIENDLY IF YOUR CHILD MAKES A PEEP YOULL BE TOLD THEY NEED TO BE QUIET

I went to dinner the other night, and the food was AMAZING. The Butter chicken is a MUST for anyone coming to try this restaurant. The staff was also terrific, so friendly, continuously checking up on us to make sure everything was good. We will be coming back soon to try more on the menu.

This is our second time here. The first time, I didnt give five stars, but after our experience today, they have definitely impressed us this time around. We had a special menu feature and some of the appetizers we enjoyed the first time around. Plus, some other new things. Everything was so tasty; lots of flavour. Service by Anne was fantastic. She was friendly, perfectly attentive, and had good knowledge of the menu. Overall, we came back because of the positive and reactive response to my previous review, there were some really fantastic dishes that are worth having again, and the atmosphere is pretty great. Vegetarian options: They have a fantastic vegan selection.

Make a reservation as fast as you can! Spectacular food and service. They are currently running a LobsterFest menu, and we had the Lobster Cobb Salad - UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! I cannot say enough about this lovely spot - a hidden gem in Orangeville.

The food was delicious! We tried dishes from their vegan menu and were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was. We will definitely be eating here again.

Just stellar service, delicious food with generous portion size and great value. Our server was so nice and helpful.

They have a FANTASTIC chef, and great food Would highly recommend Food

I went to Forage because I had a craving for a Greek salad. The person who greeted me was kind of rude. The server was friendly and nice though. I ordered a Greek salad with dressing on the side. It arrived with the dressing on the salad. I waited so I could tell the sever but eventually took a couple of bites because I was hungry and I couldn t see the server. When the server did come back she asked how it was. I mentioned that the dressing wasn t on the side. She offered to take it back so I agreed because there was too much dressing for my liking. When it came back it was a noticeably smaller salad. And the salad is already small as a meal (note that the salad doesn t come with bread or anything else). It was tasty (but there are no chickpeas as per the menu so there s no protein unless you order protein as an extra). The salad cost $16.95 not including tip. I left $20. Won t be back. RE OWNER RESPONSE: I just checked the menus and while it s true there are two different Greek salads, the salad I got did not fit either menu description: - If it was the vegan one (which includes lettuce half of my dish was covered in lettuce), there were no chickpeas. - If it was the salad from the regular menu, it shouldn t have contained any lettuce. Either way, I didn t receive a properly made salad and the salad size was ridiculously small, especially for the price. (Check the photo.) I also have never heard of a restaurant giving a smaller meal when they offer to replace a meal due to their mistake. You ve really given me no reason to want to return.

We had a lovely meal last night. Our server Carla, was so welcoming. For sure we will be back.

Food was mediocore our meals were dry and flavourless, it all seemed re heated. Dissapointing considering the high price points. Our entire party was complelty disgusted watching the kitchen staff handling money then returning to cook meals! must account for the Very LONG wait time from the door to our departure April 29 2024

It was good! Service was great and the food was delicious. It just was a little slow for me

Top notch. Good luck with your new leadership.

It was lovely to have a menu dedicated to plant based options. It is challenging in Orangeville to find a restaurant with great options for plant based foodies without feeling like a second thought. My husband also enjoyed the choices on the menu as a meat protein consumer. Both menus had lots of options and delicious! Vegetarian options: Many plant based options

Beautiful evening on the patio. Fantastic food for adults and kids alike. Fresh, flavourful, delicious!! We will be back.

Thr place/tables crammed..very close to other ppl. Friendly service and good food. Full loaf of bread for $9 is delicious... Great veggie burger! Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options and a separate vegan menu but a bit overpriced items on it.

We love Forage! Its close to home and great food. My only suggestion would be to bring the cocktail menu back! Food

Incredible food! Incredible service! Highly recommend. Will be back!

John from this restaurant.. I don t know if he is the owner/manager or whoever it is he is the lowest person whom I have ever interacted with. Such big headed man who doesn t know how to speak to a human being and think he is entitled to everything. Very disappointed !

Delicious dishes at lunch, nice and clean restaurant, professional waitress, reasonable prices. We will come back. Thank You very much .

It is wonderful to frequent an establishment that truly understands the importance of customer service. Anne could write the hand book. She made our memorable dining experience a pleasure.

They do not have many gluten-free vegan options. In reply to your response I had asked the server what options you had available however the only gluten-free vegan thing that was available according to her was a salad. The menu did have some vegan things on it which was nice however combining vegan and gluten-free. The server also didnt have much knowledge on what sauces or salad dressings were gluten-free and vegan.

Great restaurant! They actually cook and serve real food :) Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

How can you not be accepting gift cards until the end of April 2024? I will be sure to let my family know that the gift card they got us can t be used. I get that business is slower after the holiday season, but what you should have done is take the gift card and process it at the end of April 2024. Your business must hurting (or you make too much!) to care that customers - who would have certainly spent more than the amount of the gift card - just walked out on a Saturday night.

Very good food and great service. Lots of Vegan and gluten free options. The flourless chocolate cake was great! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegan options

Such a special local spot! We absolutely LOVE it here. Friendly staff; chef comes out and chats with you; delicious food and wonderfully personal service. Highly recommend! P.S. We always order their Cashew Hummus! It is beyond delicious!!!

Wonderful service and food! Going back soon!

Favourite restaurant in Orangeville. Everything on the (quite expansive) menu is fresh and portions are very generous. Consistently great food with lovely service.

Awesome food made from local sources.

Been here a few times and they never disappoint, always delicious food and great service. Wish we lived closer and this would be our go to

Fantastic meal! Everything ordered was enjoyed by our party of 5. Good selection of beer and wine as well. Decor inside is very pleasant and very clean. Well done, and thank you

Great food, friendly service and pleasant atmosphere. Nice so talk with the chef and get a personal touch on things too. Would highly recommend this place.

The BEST restaurant in Orangeville! Quality food and friendly environment. What a delight!

We had the reservation for a table we came on time, But from the moment we came the waitrwas was give us a very uncomfortable feeling that we need to rush our meal because the table is reserved after us. Or one and a 1/2 hour of sitting there we just constantly got that pressure and uncomfortable feeling from her we ended up leaving with no dessert just because we felt so uncomfortable.

Tables a bit close together and lots of diners at lunch. Seafood linguini delish. Missed not getting garlic bread. Key lime pie heavenly. Only 1 red and 1 white Canadian wine on the menu. The others were imported wines. We like to support Canadian wineries. The Peller Estates wine was terrific. Hubby had lamb shank. Also delish. Needed some crusty bread to soak up the lovely gravy.

Very much enjoyed my thai wrap & fries that were cooked perfectly. I enjoyed having a large water bottle in the table, as i was very thirsty. Efficient, pleasant staff. Very busy at 1:30 on a Friday, obviously a popular spot. Raving to my friends. Vegetarian options: Something to accommodate all, i believe

Great food. Great service. Nice atmosphere. Good vegetarian options.

Dietary restrictions: They were beyond accommodating for our dietary needs. We called and made an order for pick up and ordered the chicken sandwic with a gluten free bun. We forgot about there being breading on the chicken, they called us back to ask if we were okay if they made a different breading then usual that would be gluten free for us. We were so appreciative they caught our over sight. The little one loved his sandwich and we absolutely loved our ribs and salmon dishes, the avocado salsa on the salmon was fantastic. We will without a doubt be back here again.

An unbelievable meal. I can t believe the value and the quality of the food (I had the mussels and the cod). Our server, Anne, had a fantastic attitude and was extremely attentive and friendly. Thank you sooooo much!

I ve consumed a lot of butter chicken, and this is one of the best butter chickens I ve ever had.

It was a special family get together lunch . We never felt rushed to order, or to leave while we sat over coffee and tea to stay and chat. Service was impeccable we felt like family thanks to our very beautiful hostess . And, the food was beautifully prepared and delicious!

Excellent food, service and ambiance.

Went in for the first time on Saturday,,gotta say was amazing! Had the steak fajita penne,, delicious. Finished off with keylime pie and Spanish coffee ,, just an incredible meal. Erica was a very efficient and pleasant server

Went for lunch. Food was poor to fair. My wife had a hamburger which was small and dried out. She asked for a lettuce bun instead of a flour bun since she is on a keto diet. She got some greens on the side. I tried the crab cakes as an appetizer very disappointing little crab lots of over spiced curry breading at $19, this was very over priced. I had the arctic char. Veggies done well, fish cooked properly with crispy skin lots of cooking oil used. The scalloped potatoes potato s were very tasty. Lunch was almost $100 without any alcohol. Most expensive lunch I have ever eaten. Guess if we are going back.

Food was excellent, great flavours and cooked spot on. Server was very nice and fun, portions are in this day and age to be generous, great value for money, absolutely no hesitation on returning again,

The only negative is the difficulty finding it. The sign is very faded and hard to read/see. Service was friendly, prompt. My chicken their wrap was the best Ive had anywhere. Food

We went there for dinner the restaurant was empty only one other couple there, the service was terrible. We finally ordered and our apps came out was extremely greasy. Took a bite and it was not good, told our waitress she took away did not offer if we wanted something else. Then our main course came out and my husband sandwich was soggy took two bites and sent it back, my salad was excellent! We get the bill and they fully charged us on both his app and dinner we said something then watched the cook pick through his meal and took his main meal and said charge him half price for his main meal. Not impressed at all with service and the way we were treated :(

Cozy place in Orangeville, great food with reasonable prices ! Friendly staff, quick service ! We ordered crab cakes, grilled calamari and shrimp tacos. So so good!

Great little restaurant. Food was good, desserts were delicious and ambiance was welcomed.

Really nice quaint find in Orangeville. Server was very friendly and attentive.

Love the Shrimp and Scallop Curry as well as the Butter Chicken. We often order take out - but also great dining in.

Great lunch here last summer .

Food was really good, a little bit tight for seating. Prices are right in the middle of not cheap and not expensive . Definitely will go back .Under $100 for 3 to eat.

Its a very small space with lots of tables so not much space to move around. The food was good. I ordered crab cakes and a cob salad. Both these meals were cooked in a way I could have easily made myself at home. Its a good place to get homecooked meals but way overpriced for something I could easily make at home. When I received my cob salad, I was very confused. There was no corn or avocado in it, there was chicken in it without it being said on the menu description, and the onions were white onions instead of the normal red onions. Also presentation of the salad was great but not practical when eating it. The onions were massive still, egg slices pretty large as well as the tomato pieces. I had to cut my salad before I could eat it. Overall it just felt like a confusing experience and no offer to pay less for the lack of items I had on my salad that I was supposed to get.

You cant go wrong here!

The chef came out to say hello it was all in all a great place. Ill be back

Delishes and the server was very nice!

Beautiful experience! We received a warm & friendly welcome. We were seated in a sweet spot for our birthday dinner. Great eclectic atmosphere with different pieces of art. The butter chicken, curried seafood entrees were so good, but the thai muscles and grilled calamari were delicious! The arctic char was not available by 6:30, but they offered salmon in its place. The dessert choices were great (but none as a gift for birthdays; however, they will provide a candle if you like). Our server was incredible as they navigate the 4 hour opening with grace & accommodation.

A wonderful restaurant! Have enjoyed many specials and menu staples, all have been excellent! Great cocktails as well. Highly recommend!

This is our go to eat out place the food is amazing. Don t let the smaller size fool you this is a great place to get delicious food!

Fantastic!! Accommodates me the plant based eater and my husband who is not! Vegetarian options: Vegan options. There is something for everyone. Won t disappoint:). Worth the drive. We ll be back for sure Food : 5/5 |

Wow, what an awesome place. The food was delicious, so tasty! The service was excellent too, Simone was friendly, helpful and genuinely cared that we had an great experience. We really enjoyed our meal tonight and will definitely be back!

First time there. There werent a lot of options if you dont like seafood.

Best food I have ever had. Really recommend. Better than any other place when visiting Orangeville.

The whole experience was perfection

Everything was perfect. Fast but not pushy service. In fact, our server anticipated our needs a split second before we did. Excellent food. We wolfed down the Caesar salad...couldnt help ourselves. The margarita pizza was exquisite, as was the pasta. We came up from Toronto to walk the Bruce Trail and, frankly, didnt except much in the way of restaurants. Were we surprised!

Our server was lovely. The menu had a great selection and our choices were delicious. Cute chef.

I had the pleasure of dinner here on Monday with a group of friends. The service, menu selection and quality of food was fabulous! Absolutely top notch! I would recommend this restaurant 100%! Thank you to the wonderful staff for providing excellent food and excellent service! We will be back

Food is always prepared just right using fresh ingredients; nothing frozen like a lot of chains.

We had a fabulous evening an adventurous menu, delicious choices and friendly, professional service but at a price. Dietary restrictions: We didn t need, but were asked .

Loved it, warm and cozy restaurant. Very good food.

Tried out some items on the new vegan menu and it did not disappoint! Delicious food and great service! Vegetarian options: A whole vegan menu!

The chicken burger is great. I love it so much. Butter chicken is highly recommended too.

The food was delicious. I had the chicken gado and my husband had the butter chicken. Both dishes had a generous amount of chicken. Unfortunately, when we picked up the order they forgot to include the soup my daughter had ordered. We didnt realize until we got home. My son-in-law had to drive back to pick it up. When he got back home we were shocked at the tiny container of soup, especially at $11. The restaurant didnt offer him anything for the inconvenience. The mains are a much better value compared to the salads and soups.

It was my first time at the restaurant and had a lovely experience. Our server Simone was fantastic! The food was amazing and very accommodating. I had the butternut squash ravioli and it was delicious!

Its time there, lunch was excellent, want to go sometime for supper ,quiche was yummy, Ceasar salad was one of the best, not soggy, left the taste buds wanting more

extremely bad service, I am medically exempt from wearing a mask due to a heart condition. I had the manager embarrass me in front of the whole restaurant. She yelled at me to put on a mask or I would be kicked out but I didn t need a vaccine passport to dine in.. makes no sense. I then watched her go back to her staff and have a conversation (obviously about me ) .. I was very uncomfortable as they all looked right at me while mumbling. I definitely felt bullied on my night out by all the staff at the restaurant. The food was Meh, definitely NOT worth the price we paid. We will never be back.

4 of us for lunch and all meals were outstanding along with friendly service and even a visit from the very congenial chef/owner

Great liver and onions

We ordered calamari, goat cheese and beet salad, as well as Thai chicken.The food is delicious and fresh. Gréât customer service :)

Stopped in for a late lunch after a hike in the area. Their forage salad was just the ticket - exactly what I wanted. Delicious. Looking forward to a return visit.

Had some time to kill. Saw this place on the map and figured I would check it out. Reviews are on point. Had the crispy duck fusilli with mushroom sauce. It was an amazing dish. The sauce wasnt too heavy and the duck was cooked perfectly. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

My wife and I are from Atlanta Georgia, and have eaten all over the world, the food was exceptional. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. If I could rate them higher I would.

The food was great! The appetizers and mains were delicious. I had the calamari and mussels for appetizers and angelhair pasta for my main. I would definitely go back!

Wow, great food and awesome service...a gem!

Staff was amazing and courteous and friendly! Went out of their way to make things right!

Fabulous find!! Eclectic menu.mussels the best I have had in a long time. Great ambiance, out of the way but worth googling to find the place.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Cost per person in this review includes wine. Parking: In a small plaza with lots of parking.

The service was wonderful and the portion sizes matched the price! I went with my family for my parents 32nd anniversary and we all had a different dish but sampled each others food and ordered appetizers. Overall, I would highly recommend this place. Vegetarian options: There were. Number if vegetarian appetizers. I would recommend the cashew hummus. Dietary restrictions: There were symbols beside the vegetarian and gluten free options as well as an option to make some of the dishes gf. There was also a symbol beside the dishes that had nuts. The GF food was amazing. Parking: Parking was convenient

The chef was in the kitchen eating while preparing the food. He then changed his food to the left hand in order to grab the already cooked pasta with his right hand (bare and unwashed) and threw it in the pan. No mask ,gloves or even a hair net. Gross and unsanitary. Arent they concerned with covid?? Personally I don t care how good the food is if it is unsafe.

Very good food good eat

Took my daughter out for dinner, we absolutely loved the food!

Service was excellant,timely and friendly. Food was very good( albeit small menue). Highly recommended

Don t you love finding an excellent restaurant by accident? We were near Orangeville and hungry so thought we d try this interesting looking place. Staff were excellent, the place is comfortable yet classy and we were served promptly. The food blew us away! I love clubs and this was the best I d ever had. Soup was delicious, and the butter chicken was tender with a great sauce. It is worth a trip to Orangeville!

Every bite was delicious, and the service and conversation was excellent! They make their own desserts too!

Id give them a way higher rating than 5 if it was available! Awesome everything love it going again tonight

I had the gnocchi with braised duck and it was absolutely delicious.

So... More like 3.5 Stars. Although the place was packed the Waitress did an awesome job being prompt, informative and friendly. And, the food arrived quickly. I thought it would be slow but this speaks to the efficiency of the kitchen - well done. So... Why 3.5 stars. Well, the food was good but it didnt hit Wow. The Caesar salad was also good. The cut of beef I had was ok but had a bunch of grissel. Does anyone use that term anymore? The tender parts were good and they hit Med-Rare. Yes... 3.5 because we go for the food... 4.5 for service... We paid $100 for the meal and 1 glass of wine. Would I go back - Yes! I think I will and I will try a different dish... Btw - 3.5 is a pretty good score given the base I am comparing against. Give it a try...!

The most amazing food...I had dinner last week and lunch today Shrimp and scallops curry was outstanding The Thai cauliflower soup today was crazy tasty and the corn beef sand was toasted to perfection and the meat fall apart..the service was also top notch

Delicious! First time at The Forage for a Saturday lunch. The Vegetarian Burger was the most delicious burger I have ever had! My sister had the Thai chicken wrap and said it was a burst of freshness, flavour and textures. The service was very delightful (thank you Ann!) and we look forward to coming back again soon!

If I could give this place a zero I would. Food is over priced for the portion you get. It s $17 for a salad with no protein, you can add chicken for $12 which means you are paying $29 for a chicken salad !! And let me also mention you don t get a whole chicken breast. The ladies on the phone for takeout are rude. They mess up orders all the time and do nothing about it. The lunch menu doesn t go up on the website until noon. Which means you can t order a lunch special if you have an earlier lunch. Most restaurants already have their specials for the day ready in the morning. Cutlery is never given with take out. I guess they expect people to eat with their fingers. Food is always different each time you order the same thing, no consistency. It s very unfortunate that I have to write this review, for someone who has ordered on and off from them for the last 10 years the service and the food has been getting worse and worse. I will not be ordering from here anymore. Especially now that they even increased their already high prices.

I have to update this review! I now have a 9mo old and today I went in for lunch. Without prompting the chef came out with a plate a raspberries and a cookie for my child and made it clear if I needed to nurse I was welcome to do so in his place. Absolutely felt so special and so welcome. Also lunch was delicious!! Had a wonderful experience here at Forage. We had a reservation for 30ppl for a wedding dinner, we arrived a little early but they seated us in a timely fashion, and after feed back from all the guests it appeared as though everyone had an amazing time. I got a wonderful daily special of spinach ravioli and it was clear the pasta was made fresh that day. Everyone received their food promptly and all said it was delicious. We all had separate checks which I know first hand is annoying but the servers handle it with grace and efficiency.

This is going to be my new go to Orangeville restaurant. We were in town to see a play and decided to check it out. Everyone (there were 4 us of) loved their meals. I had the Thai wrap - I will be ordering this again. Service was attentative. I would suggest a reservation. Its small and appears to be very popular.

Met some long time friends for dinner tonight. We all travelled to Orangeville because it s sort of central! Next time we meet at Forage will be because of the delicious food and the excellent service! My crab cakes were superb and the sauce was great! We stayed past closing time (sorry!) but we were not rushed out the door! Try Forage - you won t be disappointed!!

Delicious every time. Servers are wonderful

My friend and I met in Orangeville last week for lunch, and decided to eat at the Forage Restaurant. A very good decision! I had the Shrimp and Scallop Curry; it was loaded with fresh vegetables and had a good portion of seafood. The curry was delicious. Just a thought...if you also offered this dish with the vegetables and instead of the seafood, substituted roasted tofu...that would be a great option for someone on a vegetarian diet. My friend has dietary restrictions, and there were not too many choices for her. The service was wonderful. Im already planning my next visit!

5 star food, friendly and accomodating service, gorgeous artwork on the walls. P.S. Flourless chocolate cake is awesome! Vegetarian options: Variety available. Tasty veggie burger. Dietary restrictions: Stated on menu (e.g , vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, etc.). Accomodating if other dietary restrictions (e.g., mixed veggies that I couldnt eat, so given only ones that I could ). Parking: Available directly outside.

Great food and amazing service! The calamari and seafood curry is amazing!

Excellent lunch menu. Service is always great

Vegetarian options: Excellent vegan quinoa chickpeas and avocado bowl. Nice to eat good food that is not salty. The chef obviously know how to make good food that is tasty without over salting. Great staff.

I enjoyed it all: I had the butter chicken, and it was delicious. Caesar salad was wonderful, and dessert too. Would go again and recommend.

Didnt go there lol but Ive heard its good

Excellent!! Great food,

Amazing food and service ! Everyone was so nice and everything was cooked perfectly. Must try their grilled calamari, my favourite so far !!

Excellent meal and service....beef Bourguinon especially good....waitress Melanie was great....we traveled from home in Kitchener specifically for Forage.

One of my favourite restaurants in Orangeville. The food is excellent every time, and the owner/chef often personalizes the experience by stopping by the table. My go-to is the ravioli.

Just great food from start to finish, rich homemade hummus with roasted cashews, tiny dressing and a fabulous pizza cooked perfectly. Broad selection of delicious desserts, loved it all.

Food was amazing and portions are huge. One could easily do two. Food was really really good

We had a fantastic night! The waitress was the absolute best, funny, very accommodating, such a breath of fresh air....I wish I could remember her name but the whole experience was amazing!!! The food was outstanding! Cant wait to go back!

The Angel Hair pasta is the best!

Once again, the best place in town to celebrate a special occasion. Food is excellent and hearty portions. Chef Matthew never fails to say hi!!

Same excellent food and service as always our familys favorite restaurant.

Culinary expertise, presentation and service are top.notch. I have been going for years, as many others in Orangeville. Yummy.

Excellent meal, terrific staff. Crab cakes were tasty, the sauce that they were served with was spectacular. Arctic char was perfectly cooked. Baileys chocolate mousse was a spectacular way to end my meal. My husband had the liver and onions. Hes asked to add bacon. His only suggestion was that the bacon was too crispy and hard to eat because he couldnt pierce it with his fork. His key lime pie for dessert was top notch. Overall, a great gem of a restaurant!

Excellent from start to finish....no complaints at all.

Always a great meal

August 24, 2021. My husband and I were at Hockley Resort for a few days and needed a menu change. Heard some folks talking about this place and decided to try it. Prepare for a little nondescript spot in a strip mall. Then prepare for some very incredible food. First we shared a Forage Salad. It s an incredible taste sensation of different spices and textures. Delicious. I m a liver and onions gal and I ve just never had it better. My husband had the black and blue AAA steak and it was fabulous. We will drive to Orangeville from Toronto to enjoy this experience again. BTW server was an absolute delight. Thanks owner chefs for a great meal.

Had a great birthday dinner for my daughter. Great attention to detail. Quality ingredients, meal debrief with chef, and free whipping creme for our cake at home.

Gr8 service Great food

Awesome food and one of the best restaurants in the Orangeville area. Will be back. On a side note I hope I can still eat here after Septemver 22. Say no to vaccine passports. This isnt China.

Already advertising the fact that they will require vaccine passport Sept 22nd !!! Really !!! Good luck

Great food and polite servers. Its a unique menu with a little bit from every culture, so the Canadian Style Food description is quite accurate. The location is quite small, and it can get VERY loud (to the point where it is hard to have a conversation at your own table), hence 1 star off from perfect. Still worth a shot!

We came here for our anniversary and the food was absolutely delicious. Service was great and prompt. Portion sizes were very generous. The atmosphere was cozy. We will definitely be returning. An easy 5* all around. I wish I got a picture of the Forage Salad, its definitely a must have, but our main dishes were also delicious - Hats off to the chef.

Amazing food. Great staff

Second time seated in the back corner booth and waited too long before being offered beverages. No bread before dinner. Food was good, but not worth the wait. Guess others will be getting our business.

We have been to Forage multiple times, the food is just ok, but the service our last 3 visits has got progressively worse. We had reservations for ourselves and another couple last night. We waited 30 minutes after being seated just to get drinks with continued poor service. We will be hard pressed to be back any time soon. Sorry Forage you need to step up your game.

Nice and friendly staff. There is a terrace (adjacent to the parking lot) where you can have pets. Portion sizes are decent. Everything was delicious, which can t be said about the pasta with vegetables. It seemed like the kitchen had run out of seasonings. But this did not affect our mood, salt and pepper were on the table

Friendly staff and great appetizers

We had a lovely experience at lunch today. The Best dishes we consumed were a Ruben sandwich, butter chicken, and forage salad. Debbie was our waiter and she was incredible. Would dine here again.

Really excellent Friday lunch. I had the calves liver, which is fairly tricky to do well, and most places overcook it, but this was succulent and tender and excellent quality. My partner had the duck confit, which was excellent as well. Good choice of beers and wine plus good service. Id place the menu style as fancy comfort food with excellent delivery. Worth a visit.

Great food and great service every single time i love this place 100% would go back

Went on a recommendation of a friend. Appetizers were good dinners sucked big time. Seafood dishes (we had one each) were brutal. Way overcooked because they were freezer burnt. Will not go back again. Can I give a zero star?

Great staff, awesome food and fun atmosphere!

Our most recent and now last visit to Forage was disappointing. Food was good but service was poor. Many facets of same contributed to this including our doubts as to which food served to us was actually gluten free or not. We tipped despite our feeling but with regret after further reflection. Hopefully they wont blame customers for simply asking questions and finding a decent table. No eye contact, no follow up, overall service lacked any depth or quality. Unfortunate experience. Its now December 2021, lets move on and support this business like so many who have had a challenging 20 months in unprecedented times.

Great food and fantastic service. A must try when in the area. Thanks chef for your suggestion, the meal was fabulous.

This restaurant used to be our favorite go-to. Our recent visit with friends was very disappointing. They are renowned for great fish and chips, but ours were a disaster. The fish was good, but the chips were almost inedible. They were brick hard, dry and tasteless. Luckily I ordered a side of curry sauce which at least distracted from their awfulness. My wife couldn t eat hers. We told the waitress and she said she would pass it on to the chef. As we were being given the bill (Full price, I might add), she said The chef said sorry about that ! We won t be back.

Casual and laid back gourmet dinning. Food so flavourful your taste buds will thank you. With food this good youll be wise to call ahead and make a reservation.
