“ We were fortunate enough to find Foresta while strolling through Abingdon. They were extremely busy and had no seating available. We left to continue our walk when the hostess came outside to catch us to let us know they had a couple of seats open at the bar. What a treat!!! The decor, atmosphere, food and drinks were all amazing!!! The bartender is world class in his knowledge and service. Add to that the world class food, and super friendly and professional owner and staff. This will become the top restaurant around so make your reservations now!! I have dined at top restaurants all around the world and our experience was second to none!!! ”
“ The owner Zane was an excellent host. My wife & I ate here last weekend and were amazed with what a wonderful experience it was. The food is outstanding and sake selection incredible - even received a special pour to celebrate our night. We ate at many other restaurants in town, Foresta was our favorite and we consider it the best in Abingdon. Can't wait to come back! Kanpai! ”
“ I love this restaurant. The food is always fresh and flavorful. My favorites are the Mongolian beef, the pork belly bao, and the gyoza. The decorations inside are also very cute and make for a cozy interior. This is genuinely a gem for Abingdon food. I would take anyone here, whether for a weeknight dinner or special occasion, and know it would be a crowd pleaser! ”

“ This was our second visit to Foresta and we had an incredible experience. Daisy was fantastic, very helpful and attentive. All the food was fresh and tasty with good portions. I highly recommend the tteok-bokki. The special scotch drink (Last Train?) was a revelation. The ambiance is super nice, and about as unique as you can get around here. Definitely has become a local favorite of ours. We look forward to going back! ”
“ We had such a lovely Mother’s Day dinner. We were welcomed by Cloe and she sat us down right away. Leyla was the sweetest server and shared all the specials . The sushi special never disappoints. I love they brought back the honey feta and pita from the Greek special dinner they had several weeks ago! Service was smooth and very attentive. Leyla checked on us several times . Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes! ”
“ This is going to be a long post This place is SPECTACULAR!!!!! It could be a very expensive habit and I don't know if I'll have the self control to stay away for very long. Marco the chef presented beautiful food filled with layers of flavor and feeling. The establishment is decorated straight out of a beautiful fantasy. There is a neon sign in the bar area that says "It was all a Dream" yes... come true! There is a magical feel from the Enchanted forest, flickering lamps, fairies, pirates, ART EVERYWHERE and super friendly staff. I didn't want to leave. The appetizers the duck dinner the chocolate torte !! Treat Carrie (if you're lucky enough to get her) like gold! Tip generously. Places like this are rare and deserve all the support. They just opened but soon it will be impossible to get a table so make your reservations. I love everything about this place and feel so lucky to have it in my sweet little town. Thank you so very much! (They also have music activated storm clouds on the ceiling of the bar lounge). ”
