Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Clintonville

Our server Bri really hit it out of the park. Super busy there (turkey day) but she was still awesome. Poblano and dumplings as apps were awesome and unexpected. Thanksgiving dinner was awesome. Dessert was awesome. And did I say it was awesome?. It was!!

Good food and great atmosphere. Only negative was our server disappeared after the mains came out. Had to go to the bar to get more water and ask for the check. Otherwise was great.

Solid place to get food and beer, cocktails, wine, etc. We all enjoyed our food quite a bit. The eggplant, avocado/pineapple dip, and kale salad were good. My guests reported good burgers and fries. And my other guests enjoyed their salmon salad. The charcuterie board was disappointing, especially for the price. It was very underwhelming, and presentation was fair at best. All the beers we tried were actually pretty good. None of us ordered a cocktail. Ambiance is nice. Didn't love that we were forced (all of us under 5 ft 3 - to sit on a high top with our feet dangling) - had made a reso and when I inquired about the table at check-in was told it would be over an hour for a regular table. I wish I would have known and requested this up front. Overall, however, I do recommend Forbidden Root - and would return again.
