Feast

Feast closes between lunch and dinner, but it was a good stop post-brunch and mid-shopping to re-fuel with a cocktail.

It's definitely a little dead and sleepy in here even an hour prior to closing, but our group sat at the bar and had each other to entertain - no need for a crowd.

At the bartender's suggestion, I ordered the Indian Ocean, a refreshing cocktail made with ginger beer, cucumber vodka, rose, and lime. If the actual Indian Ocean tastes this good, well, I'm finally going to take some swim lessons.

The food was good but the service need improvement. We sat down and had plenty of time to check out the menu. The ambiance was nice but not much to it. Very loud! If you want to hear the people your with sit outside. We ordered the mac and cheese but got our food before that so I don't know if its good. The server didn't even notice. I ordered the mussels good but had a few dead ones in the bunch. The bbq chicken pizza was great though! Cheers to that!

Though Feast has a special place in my heart because my now husband and I had our first date there 6 years ago - and we make an annual dinner date on or around the time of said first date - I can't say that this last meal leaves me wanting to come back!

My flank steak was one of the worst red meat entrees I've ordered at a restaurant. At best, it was a hefty portion size, but the cut of meat was really tough, chewy, and surprisingly under-seasoned. I enjoyed eating the rainbow in the veggies that accompanied the steak though: cherry tomatoes, carrots, corn, and broccoli.

Husband's salmon was charred to his liking, and he subbed in bacon brussel sprouts for the default zucchini and squash. "I would give it a 3", he declares.

Service was friendly and on point on the part of our waiter, but you could tell the hostess did not want to be there.

If Feast is still around next year, we may just decide to continue our anniversary tradition at the site of our second date!

I ordered the trout salad and it was just amazing. I don't think I ever had trout that was so good. The apples, beets and dressing just all work so well together. I was very surprised.
The restaurant inside is very lovely, rustic decor. Customer service is attentive and there is plenty of metered parking right in front.

Ordered the French toast with blueberry/peach compote and it resembled a train wreck in a bowl. Yes, its served in a bowl with the wedges of gummy French toast drowning in approx. 1/2 cup of fruit compote made from the huge chunks of frozen fruit also tossed in the bowl. In essence it was bread soup and totally inedible. If you enjoy liquified and soggy food, or you simply have a hankering for liquid french toast, make a mad dash to this place and bring an extra straw and a bib.

Hubby ordered the omelette which was at least edible but the side of potatoes and chix sausage were dried out and overcooked to the point of being petrified. For this, an extra set of teeth are required.
Huge fail on execution!

This was some of the best breakfast food I've had in chicago. I came to use up a Groupon but they've made a returning customer out of me! I will def be back for brunch.

It was a great experience overall.

Food was spectacular. We ordered the steak Benedict and the eggs Benedict trio (which came with the original eggs Benedict, crab Benedict, and eggs royal).

Love the clean, youthful, modern but cozy decor.

Service was on par with that of a fancy restaurant.

First time here the other day. I was pleasantly surprised! Great patio space, great server, awesome food. We went in on a Friday around 2p, and got their lunch menu which had some brunch options on there. My boyfriend got the BLT without tomato (insert clever joke here) with egg. He loved it! I don't think I've ever seen so much bacon on one sandwich. The fries weren't crazy awesome - kinda reminded me of fast food fries (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

I got the margherita pizza. It was just okay, not the most amazing thing I've ever had, but I don't think I would ever have such feelings over a margherita pizza anyways. Good beer list - a delirium was $9?! I'm use to seeing that listed for $12+ so that was a win. We also got a small plate of the mac and cheese! super yummy! It was definitely good for sharing. Very gooey and just what I hoped for.

Very reasonable prices too. I think the beers eventually caught up to us on the tab though....

Props to you, Feast!

Was very pleased with what I encountered here during Saturday morning brunch. I love the location and the outdoor patio is GREAT! There's tons of seating inside as well.

We were seated as soon as we arrived even though the place looked pretty busy. Their brunch menu covers pretty much every craving you could have.

I would skip the smoothies, just a personal preference.

All of the dishes sounded great. We went for the Smoked Salmon Board, the Classic Benedict, and a side order of the specialty pancakes (strawberry and chocolate).

Although the place is a little high priced, the portion sizes are huge! All of the ingredients tasted of very high quality.

Groupon is da bomb. My girlfriend and I were introduced to this place when feast decided to offer a $15 for $30 deal. And being the brunch maniacs that we are we HAD to try this bustling place off the Damen stop. We were not disappointed!

We had great attentive service that came to fill our drinks and bottomless coffee every 5ish minutes. I ordered the burger and it came piping hot with perfectly crisp bacon. The burger was so fresh, I could see the steam coming out of the inside after the first bite. Oh and the burger was 8 oz- plenty of meat! Along with the burger came sweet potato fries at no extra charge like other places and they were some of the best I've had (great texture and well seasoned). My girlfriend's benedict trio was nothing special but delivered with solid flavors. A side note-the caviar was super salty.

Solid place spot with pretty homey and festive decor.

Mmm Feast. I would say my roommate and I are semi-regulars. I have only been for brunch, but there bloody Mary's are on point! It never seems crazy busy on the weekend, but I typically just find a seat at the bar.

My best suggestion: caramelized onion buttermilk biscuit as a pre brunch app. Between that and the bloody, I guarantee you will be satisfied!
