    Love Feast! We live in the neighborhood and walk down about once a week. The staff is awesome and the food is very good. Good variety and they change the menu every so often. Great bar. Bartenders make the best drinks. A fun place in winter and summer.

    Was recommended this place by a friend, and it did not disappoint! We shared the fried delicata, which was not a typical item you see on most menus and it was absolutely delicious. We then had the burger and the lamb ragu. The lamb ragu was so rich and divine, and something I would easily go back for. For dessert we got the house made strawberry-passionfruit sorbet, which was also amazing. Our server Derek was so nice and the overall ambience was great! Will definitely be returning!

    Brunch was excellent here. The noise level noted (quiet) applies to brunch only as it is very loud at night. Food was excellent and well priced. Service was excellent. This will definitely be a new go-to brunch spot. Seating is hard and uncomfortable. Those with hip or back issues will want to bring their own seat cushionsfor comfort. I left earlier than desired as I couldn't sit on the bench any longer
