Love this restaurant! Food and staff are great. Small plates let you try items that you might not have picked as entrees. Novel takes on cocktails and wine pairings, when asked for, are spot on.

We had a great experience. Service was good and not rushed and food items we ordered were delicious. We plan to return and is so nice to have a good place to eat closer to home than the big city. I also saw plenty of street parking right at front.

Food is very good, service even better. I would say this is the perfect spot for a group of 6+. It was just the two of us and we were seated at a long communal table about three table settings away from a really annoying, loud talking couple. Also, the menu is fairly limited. Make no mistake the food is excellent, and the service was top notch. We would absolutely go back here but with look to do it with a larger group to get the most out of the thoughtful design and setup of the dining room.

The food was superb! Absolutely delicious and very “Uncommon”! Smoked bluefish pate out of this world, chicken/liver mousse to die for, lamb meatballs outstanding! The Pizetta on house made pita incredible. The pasta dish with hand made pasta was fantastic! Very quite atmosphere, exquisite service, and wonderful paired wines all at a very reasonable price! Can’t say enough about Uncommon Feasts and will be there often in the future. Thank God they came back post pandemic!

We had an amazing evening! The ambiance was amazing, service incredible, and it was so relaxing as there was a simple but thoughtful touch to everything. We enjoyed our glasses of bubbles and when we told the server we were vegetarian he came back with options for us that were not on the menu that night! Everything we ordered was flavorful and dedicate! We will surely go back!

This is truly a gem of a spot! The small plates were all different in their own right, but we found there was a common citrus theme throughout each dish. Super fitting for the season! The menu changes often, so don't go expecting the exact same items on that I talk about here. We arrived with our reservation name handwritten on our table, and had some time to take in the great decor and ambiance! The lovely waiter Nico took our coats, which made us feel extra fancy. We started with on-the-house marinated olives (delicious, marinated in a citrus oil), and still water (though sparkling was offered). The drink and food menus were handwritten, which is always a thoughtful, appreciated touch. For wine I ordered a Falanghina to start, and a Braucol, both recommendations from Nico to pair with what we ordered. For the table (of two) we ordered: Smoked bluefish pate with house chips spring white asparagus with shiitake and serrano ham Mushroom, fennel, artichoke fritto misto (served with lemon) chicken and apple brandy mouse (served on toast) pomegranate braised lamb (served as a sandwich) The dishes were coursed out nicely, and Nico was very attentive to us. We treated ourselves to a dessert platter, which was very yummy as well! A ripe plum, turkish delights, and a few other treats. My friend and I ended up staying for almost three hours. We never felt rushed, and really loved the vibe. Overall, this was a terrific evening, and we can't wait to come back! I've already told many friends about this little gem. The only downside is that it's not located closer to me... a relocation to Beverly might be in order!

The food was fine, well cooked and generally good and imaginative, however the experience was spoiled by the service. This is not blaming the servers, but rather the availability of the food. We ordered 3 first courses, first arrived and was eaten before the second one arrived, third selection never arrived. We understand the nature of eating small plates - they arrive as they are ready, however with apparently only one person cooking, the food arrived sequentially with at most 2 dishes in front of us at any time. Once we finished eating, 2 of our party we’re still hungry and we all left with a feeling of being let down and a chance missed. Clearly the chef is a good cook with an imaginative approach to food, but the whole experience is poor. This was our second visit, the first time being a similar experience, but we gave them the benefit of doubt in the post-Covid world, but it seems this is just how this restaurant functions. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

Dear BykerBiker, While this review is painful to read I am very very grateful you took the time to write it. Thank you. Your criticism is constructive and we (starting with me) will work through how to make our guests experience a better one. I know this is a lot to ask after having disappointed you but if you would feel comfortable talking with me I would very much appreciate it. You can email me directly at michelle@uncommonfeasts

As always, the food was creative and delicious, and the service was outstanding. We love the atmosphere at Uncommon Feasts, and the food and drink selection never disappoints. We literally ordered everything on the menu, and it was all delicious. The cocktails were great as well, and the apple shrub was super yummy.
