    The beers were amazing! The different flavor combinations were subtle, yet distinctive. We started with the cheese plate, which was very tasty. A nice mix of soft and firm cheeses that complimented each other. Each of your main meals held wonderful flavor surprises. I would highly recommend the short ribs, the duck, and the mushroom pot pie! To finish off our meal we had coffee and a slice of their chocolate beer cake! We shared the cake amongst the three of us! The server was very attentive and allowed us plenty of time to explore the menu. I’ll be coming back to Forbidden Root!!! Also, a big shout out to Check Please! Great choice!
