Feast

A few friends of mine wanted to go to Feast and it was a nice surprise since I haven't been there since couple of HRW's ago.

If you're not familiar, Feast is known for using every single part of the animal to create scrumptious dishes.   They even cured their own meat, if you ever get a chance to see their meat, it is sometimes hang in a huge chamber on your way to the bathrooms.
I had ordered the Fish and Scallop Pie under the suggestion of our server.  I was surprised to not see a nice thick layer of pastry on top to cover up the top.  I had the vision that it's like a pot pie.  But instead, they sealed the pie with mashed potato and cheese mixed in with some leeks.  

You do need to dig thru the potato layer in order to find the fish and the scallops.  And the sauce is not as creamy as it was presented, which is fine by the time you mix in the potato, it is thick enough.  The brussels sprouts side is a nice touch, but not the best sprouts I've had recently.

Feast is only open for dinner, helps to make reservations ahead of time, but we find that week night dining is not hard to get int.
