feast

could be so good, but.... we have dined here many times as its in the hood. always seems to be new staff soservicetends to be slow and 'green'. the regular menu items are quite delicious, so we can forgive the poorly trained staff. ordered spot prawns last night off the fresh menu and to no surprise our waitress hadn't tried the dish, did not know how many came in the order, and neglected to mention they are served whole. would have been nice if the menu indicated 'peel and eat', then we simply would not have ordered the dish. working for your food while wearing an expensive silk blouse - don't think so! the kitchen did not even put slits in the shells to make peeling them easier. we had to request finger bowls, and they took so long to be served that we were forced to use our water glasses! then we actually had to ask for our water glasses to be cleared and fresh ones poured! bowls for the shells and prawn heads were not served either. we spoke with the manager to explain that one should not be expected to peel their own prawns when they are over $4.00 each without even a finger bowl or a slit along the shell! she sarcastically explained that the chef's intention is for the prawns to be served as they are in nature. naturally, it was a finger coated, 'unappealing' mess! to add to the unfortunate disappointment was the uncomfortable, crammed patio seating. too many tables, no chair cushions, and a horrible playlist of music! had the drinks be served in a more reasonable time frame, maybe none of this would have seemed so irritating. the owner sat at a table across from us and neglected to address his customers dissatisfaction or his staff's lack of service, or his kitchens lazy intentions. maybe it's just a hobby restaurant for him? a passionate restaurant owner would have acknowledged the calamity and rectified it with finesse. a great chef would have plated the prawns in a more practical and appetizing manner. a good waitress would have taken the prawns back to the kitchen to have them shelled. too bad, because with a just little more attention to detail and charm, this place could be magic.

some items, like the prawn blt sandwich and the lemon curd dessert were absolute heaven--succulent prawns and wonderful homemade bacon on the former and light and fluffy goodness in the latter. but on the other hand i could not have been more disappointed in the crispy pork belly--chewy and dry. however excellent and attentiveservicemade me give feast an above average rating overall.

girls day/night out. i recently hosted a ladies evening for 20 in the private room upstairs. we had a pre set menu and everything was wonderful. my girlfriends loved the food,room and ambience. perfect venue for a meeting or a private function. i then hosted a luncheon downstairs for another group of 20. we also had a pre set menu so it was another great event.the food was amazing.servicewas very attentive. i have been many times in smaller groups. they are very accommodating. so glad to have them in west vancouver. no need to go downtown.

poor menu.servicewas good, food was tasty.
however,
wine list is pricey.
food selection is very limited and over priced.
unlikely to return.

wait till they get the kinks out.. ordered two chowders.waited 40 min,(lunch time)repeated excuses but no chowder.left and had a very enjoyable lunch,fastserviceat bake house.

worth the drive. have made the trip to dundarave from vancouver twice to try feast, just after opening for dinner and on sunday for brunch. great room and patio, comfortable, good buzz, attentiveserviceand delicious food. definitely try the chicken with waffles if you go for brunch and try to snag a seat on the patio. agree with the other reviews that this a great addition to the north shore. on another note... find it bizarre that someone that's never been there would take the time to post a review based on hearsay. btw mean ladies, perhaps you were there, perhaps not, but if you were you'd know the chairs are obviously made of wood and not metal, and very comfortable.

feast de resistance. what a notable and very welcome addition to the west vancouver dining scene. in every criteria, feast hit the right notes. the ambience is understated, warm and elegant with choices of seating available depending on your mood: patio seating, bar seating, long communal table or smaller intimate tables.servicewas friendly and helpful but never intrusive. the wine list is wonderfully curated and approachable. but really, it was about the food. i shared the avocado and beet fries, the salt roasted beets, the kale and quinoa salad, the roasted halibut with chickpea salad, and the sockeye salmon with mushroom succotash. honestly, this was my kind of food, high level comfort food of outstanding quality and freshness. i will be be" feasting" on a very regular basis!
