The first thing I noticed when I entered Northern Forest was the aroma of a compost pile. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive sea green and teal decor. We were greeted and seated in the Lego set Room, a creepy room decorated with numerous canes and hard sticks. Our waiter, whose name was Paco, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were French fries, sushi, roast turkey, and chicken gumbo. I decided to order Roast beef Risotto and my companion, Hugo, ordered Beef bouillon Nouveau. Paco seemed gargantuan as he brought in our orders about forty-six minutes later. I had a piece of corn bread on the side, and Hugo had a roast Cornish game hen. A cup of tea was a perfect complement for my roast beef.
The Roast beef was immense but a bit miniature. The common way to cook with cilantro is to refrigerate overnight first, but our chef chooses to press, then blend it into the roast beef. Hugo thought the beef bouillon seemed a bit used, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about fifty dollars, which I think is nonsensical. Overall, the food was dazzling, the atmosphere was so-so, and the service was lovely. If you are a precocious person, this might be the worst place for you.
