Food was great and we enjoyed the live music and laid back atmosphere. The service was not good whatsoever. Our waitress could not answer simple questions that were normal questions, which I get she might be new, until she stated she had worked there for "only" 3 months. We asked for a drink in a kid's cup, a water, and a drink menu for beer. Our waitress stated they didn't have a drink menu and also could not name any beer they had and didn't know the difference in a light or dark beer. She brought the kid's drink in a regular cup and forgot the water. When we finally ordered she forgot to ask how the steak needed to be cooked and rather than come and ask she made the decision to choose a meat temp, medium well. When she finally appeared out of the kitchen I stopped and inquired about it and she went to tell the kitchen. The steak came out medium well anyway. The kitchen seems not experienced as it was not overly busy and our food took, in my opinion, longer than it should to come out as well. This has the potential to be a really great place, if the time and training are put in to get it there. Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
If you want go get a drink with some entertainment it's a good local place, however, if you're planning on going with a large party to eat and drink then think twice. The kitchen can't handle but one type of entrée at a time and some of our party never got there food. Someone with more restaurant experience could really make this a great success.

Wonderful meal in a cozy setting! Daughter and I stayed in Forest as part of a road trip, and were delighted to discover the Foothills Diner just down the road. Try their amazing onion petals. Service was friendly and we'll be back again for the home cooking. Did some shopping after the meal. Loved the holiday decorations!
