Die besten Restaurants für ein Mittagessen in Forest Hill / West Portal

Elena’s has never let me down! Always friendly, always a good time! The calamari frito is a MUST order! It’s tender, light yet crispy all at the same time. All the drinks are top notch but my favorite is the mezcal drink with passionfruit - such a perfect pairing!

We called with a last minute change to our reservation time and they accommodated us with no hassle. Server was great - food was fantastic! Great wine and cocktail selection.

Marlowe is just perfect!! my Bestie and I were there for breakfast this morning, and our first impression was this place is so cute and intimate. The service was impeccable, the food was so good. She had a fried green tomatoes and polenta, I had the caramelized onion burger. We loved it so much that after we went to the museum, we went back for a drink afterwards. Excellent spot, very welcoming and super special ♥️

AMAZING First time patron dining on Valentine’s Day 2025. Made reservations for 2. Arrived at 6:15 and the dining room was completely packed. From the greet to the bill the dining experience was top notch. Specially curated menu with a wide variety to choose from. We started with the incredible buratta, fig, arugula, prosciutto drizzled with balsamic reduction appetizer My partner had the lamb shank, I had the roast duck both served with risotto and fresh vegetables. Perfectly seasoned lamb shank and duck were falling-off-the-bone tender and ample sized. We opted for 2021 Cab Sauvignon from Castoro which went well with both dishes. Service was AMAZING with Connie. The room was as busy as I’ve ever seen in a restaurant but Connie was polite, professional, and patient - all with a smile. In fact, all the servers and staff deserve a round of applause. Couldn’t have been more impressed with this venue. We’ll be back, for sure…

The Clay Oven has been a favorite of mine for many years. Whether I order take out, dine in, or delivery, the food is always hot and delicious. I recommend this place to everyone, it's a restaurant that you have to try.
