What People Are Saying About Feast

In Short – Every neighborhood has a default restaurant, where locals always wind up for reliable food. This one would be Wicker Park's, a contemporary cafe that achieves a comfortable atmosphere and upscale food, a rarity for this trendy zip code. More date night or ladies-who-lunch spot than hipster hang, the place boasts contemporary furnishings instead of kitsch, favoring banquette- and four-top seating, colorful dangling lamps and an adjoining lounge where guests can sit by a fire. The "feasts" trot everywhere on the globe, from Wonton Napoleon with tuna sashimi, tuna tartar and…

We should go here more often
by danm900
Feast has been good to us ever since they were at their old location around the corner (long time ago). A good solid performer overall, and consistent. Been here about a dozen times. They always seem to find a place for you no matter how busy they are (unlike countless other similar places). The food is very good and isn't unreasonably expensive. The wine is great, they have a 3rd Wednesday of the month wine tasting -so you know they're paying attention. I love the location near the Cynthia Rowley boutique and all that Bucktown action. They have valet parking on weekends if you don't want to deal.
- Pros: Good table, good service and good food
- Cons: Bustling Wicker Park can be a parking challenge, but valet!

Consistenly Great Food
by garnold0416
I have lived in Bucktown for almost 4 years so we have lived about 3 blocks away from Feast. Unfortunately I only started going there this past year. Big mistake. Every time I have been to Feast the food has been consitently great! From the burger, to the chicken skewers to many more dishes then I can type here, we have never been disappointed. My only complaint is that the service, although quick, can be a bit impersonal, borderline unfriendly, however, what Feast may lack in service they make up for it in quality and consistency in food, after all, we don't always need to bond with our server to enjoy our meals thats what good company is for :)
- Pros: close to home
- Cons: service can be impersonal

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO MY WORST ENEMY
by aforster78
I went here with some friends and we had been told it's BYO. So we bring a few bottles. Some person answered their phone telling us "you'll be fine" when we inquired if the corking fee was per bottle or per table. When we got to the restaurant the waitress informed us it was indeed "per bottle". Party of 6, she did not pour a SINGLE glass for us, charged us $30 for uncorking 2 (one was a screw off top) and tacked on gratuity!!!!!! She did not apologize for whomever answered their phone telling us "OH YOU'LL BE FINE". The food was cold and the service was virtually non-exsistent. But the corking fee and gratuity was certainly something she saw to.
- Pros: Location
- Cons: Tacky service
