An Experience not worth repeating 8/17/2010

My wife and I joined four friends here for dinner last week. We had wanted to try this place for some time as we appreciate unique food experiences. I read the reviews and picked my courses from the online menus (selection of the day and ""always"" available). We tried three of the extras: Welsh rarebit, Exmoor toasts and pork rillions. As others have mentioned the rarebit was dominated by Worcestershire sauce, and nothing like the picture of rarebit in Wikipedia. The Exmoor toasts were fine, and the pork rillions dish was well liked by most of our party, me included. I had an appetizer of mussels, which was cooked very well in a tasty white wine sauce. We also had the fish soup, scallops and Albondigas. The soup lacked both substance and taste, the meatballs were good, and their were no complaints about the scallops. I had anticipated having the cassoulet with rabbit for my entree only to be told that it was not available, as it is today off the online menu as well. Instead I had the poached seafood, containing mussels, prawns, shrimp, and tile fish in a broth with veggies. The only remarkable part of the dish was the garlic aioli. Everything else was very bland, and the fish was overcooked. The only other entree I can comment on was the pork belly. It received mixed reviews at the table. I didn't care for the fatty texture of the bite I had, which was the only impression I got from it in the restaurant. Later, since my wife couldn't stomach much of it either, I got to try the meat cold and found it tasty, but I would not order it again. Desserts were the best part of the meal. The bread pudding is good, but with a distinct taste of alcohol. Also sampled were the molten chocolate and lemon cakes. If you must go to Feast to try it, go, but be forewarned. more
