Forest Hill Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
A must for Fish Fry...best in town. Always fresh! Other seafood offerings top notch. Great drink prices. The bar has a Cheers vibe. The restaurant is a little tight but it works.
This is my very first review. I couldn't let this gem of a restaurant go unnoticed. I ordered the haddock casino which was unbelievable. House salad/ dressing was also very good. Big portions and fair prices. Wish I could take this restaurant back home to Indiana with me. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.
First time here. Great atmosphere, food and service. Mike, the owner stopped at our table a few times to speak with us. Will definitely go back!!
What a gem! Delicious food, generous portions, unique dishes, wonderful folks, and excellent service that is so rare these days! We can't wait to go back!
The food was amazing! The chicken parmigiana was delicious! Don’t even get me started on the two sides. Hands down the BEST corn I have ever had at a restaurant! Definitely the perfect spot to hit after a nice day at Niagara Falls!
Such a gem in North Greece! Love this place. The food is so good, and the service is great. The atmosphere is like a family gathering where it gets loud at times with everyone talking, but thats not so bad. Its better than having loud music to contend with.
Excellent food and excellent service. The bartender was very nice.
Forest Hill catered our wedding and we couldn't have been more pleased! We did a pasta buffet and everyone was raving about how wonderful the food is! Forest Hill has also catered baby/bridal showers for my family members in the past and has always done a wonderful job. Peg was so sweet and helpful! She was quick to respond and kept checking in with us on the big day! She even went out of her way to save me some of the amazing cream sauce ravioli in a to-go box for after the wedding! They are also super fairly priced.
