The Forge in the Forest in Monterey Bay, Monterey County, United States | Restaurant

Welcome to The Forge in the Forest, where the employees â?? everyone from the executive chef to the servers â?? are the owners. Here in this warm and welcoming atmosphere, they promise to make your visit to this historic Carmel landmark a memorable one.
Slip in under the canopy of trees at the southwest corner of 5th and Junipero and cozy up to a fire pit, or tuck yourself under an umbrella next to the heat lamps. Itâ??s no surprise this place has been voted â??Best Outdoor Diningâ? in Monterey County by the Coast Weekly newspaper readersâ?? poll every year since 1992!
The cuisine is American, the ambiance unforgettable.
The Forgeâ??s garden patios are nestled among the oak and pine trees of downtown Carmel, and are made comfortable year-round with fireplaces, heaters and large patio umbrellas.
Prefer to sit inside? Choose from the rustic and casual feel of the copper-walled Forge Saloon, with its hand-carved mahogany back bar and blacksmith fire pit, or the more formal setting of the Oak Tree Dining Room.
