"The noise level was extremely high. It was almost impossible to carry on a conversation at our table. The tables beside us were too close."

"Service was incredibly SLOW. Our drink order was lost and had to be taken again. And the drinks still didn't come out for another 10 minutes. Our food never came out for 45 minutes. We were outside and I counted 9 open tables...it's not like they were that packed. We never received our bread basket and when we asked she told us "they ran out hours ago" which was a blatent lie as we saw them sitting on EVERY other table surrounding us."

"Although the food was excellent, the service was exceptionally poor. We were at Feast for Sunday brunch. We waited for 15 minutes for our table to be cleaned, then another 10 minutes to receive menus. There were crumbs on the table and food and a toy on the floor when we sat down. We managed to place our order about 25 minutes after being seated even though we had three children in our group and we explained that we needed to order immediately. The bread basket did not arrive until halfway through the meal and when we inquired, we were told (without any apology) that they had "run out" and were going over to the Goddess & Grocer to get a new batch. Overall, the service was poor enough to ensure that we will likely not visit Feast again."

"Feast was a recommendation on Open Table for Easter Brunch. Certainly didn't dissapoint. Feast really provided a diverse brunch menu and lively atmosphere. The space is very open, bright and energetic with a small bar to the left as you walk it and a patio outside. The easter brunch menu looked fantastic. I chose a brunch favourite, Potato skins and split a french toast. The potato skins were fantastic! Offered so much flavour and an inspiring cooking choice. The french toast was very sweet, but a nice balance of fruit flaours and cream. The only downside I would say to Feast is the service is a bit slow, and based on observations is that the staff were stretched very thinly. I will definintley go back there again for brunch!"

"Food and beer menu was average at best. This isn't a bad thing. Good food is good, bad food is bad. If it is in the middle, I'm usually a happy camper. But when you factor in the price? Not worth it. I had the butternut squash ravioli. Pasta was kind of rubbery. My wife had the blackened fish tacos. The fish was ... fishy. Hard surfaces made for a very loud dinner. Again, not bad, but if you're not out for a night on the town with friends, it detracts from dinner.
