Forge in the Forest - New American restaurant in Carmel-By-The-Sea - Junipero Street & SW Corner of, 5th Ave, USA

We really enjoyed our lunch here. Egg rolls are fabulous and the chicken sandwich was good. Would not get the tuna poke again but it wasn’t bad. Service was good. Patio is beautiful and lots of parking on the road the restaurant is located. Lots of things on the menu I would have tried, we will return.

Hidden gem off the main strip in Carmel. Well hidden behind the enchanting garden are nestled with outdoor seating. Well prepared, quality ingredients, with extremely attentive and friendly wait staff. Very pet friendly (a few options for their meal). Highly recommend!

This place is so cute, romantic and has great character. Mike was so attentive and knowledgeable and made my day. It was my birthday and I came all the way from Chicago. He singed me a beautiful song for my birthday. I was blown away. The food was fantastic. If your ever in the area try this place out. So Great. Thank you

Great atmosphere and ambiance. Food was great but, service has a little room for improvement. We were seated on the patio around 9:00pm as they were slammed all night. Simply treat all guests as if they are the most important party from the moment they arrive until they leave.(a party of 2 should receive the same attention and service as a party of 6 or more.) Staff was great but, surely exhausted near the end of the night. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to the Bay Area.

Really like the outdoor patio which is super dog friendly and large enough to accommodate several folks with their Furry Friends. We had the French onion soup which was amazing. Other items were less than memorable. Service was pretty fast and friendly.

Loved it! Hostess and waitress were both super nice despite the craziness of car week. The outside dining area is adorable and fairytale-esque. We had the french onion soup, rosemary marinated chicken, and the teriyaki bowl. The rosemary chicken was excellent, highly recommend. Teriyaki was pretty good, slightly undercooked rice would be the only complaint. French onion soup was tasty as well. Only thing is it did take a bit to get our water after being seated and I think the busboys were in charge of water. My opinion they should just refill glasses instead of asking if we'd like more water, and use tall water glasses instead.

This restaurant was the absolute BEST! So accommodating, super friendly staff, excellent food, puppy menu for our dogs. Everything was excellent. Would 10/10 recommend everyone here visiting Carmel with their pups to check this place out.

What a wonderful place! I have been here 3 times already and definitely will get back again. The food is yummy and service is very nice. The menu is very different than on the website. Probably it depends on a season, not sure. Or maybe they have a new menu now. If you are looking for vegetarian options, there are only few unfortunately. Also ask your server if a dish is spicy or not:) i could not finished my dish, cause it was too spicy and my server didn’t mention anything about it before taking an order.
