What People Are Saying About Beast

Citysearch

In Short – This hot spot has two long communal tables in a cozy dining room where fresh, seasonal dishes are served from a revolving menu. Sunday brunch items might include crepes with lemon powdered sugar, quince jelly and maple glazed bacon, or braised beef hash with potatoes, brussels sprouts, a poached egg and whole-grain mustard hollandaise. Dinners include divine inspirations such as Anderson ranch lamb, crispy baby artichokes and chanterelle mushroom soufflé.

Very good food ,very good service, worse chairs ever.

by aberg8 at Citysearch

Very good service, very good quality ingrediants prepared by an excellent chef...a great dining experience except for the dull ache that started 20 minutes after sitting down.

By the one hour mark of our 2.5 hour meal, I was in enough discomfort that I shoved two articles of clothing between the offending chair and the offended butt. I still enjoyed the meal, and while those gathered at our table didn't discuss the discomfort, it was obvious I was not the only one affected.

  • Pros: Very artistic version of traditional French food.
  • Cons: YOUR A$$ WILL BE IN PAIN FROM THE CHAIRS!

no more birthdays at beast

by aubreyfairchild at Citysearch

yes, it's unique--so what? it is really expensive and a bit of a stretch--way too precious for me. i went two years in a row for my birthday with two other food snot friends who were also celebrating. i'm not doing it again. i think the truth about this place is somewhere between the worst reviews and the moderate ones. although they are seriously good cooks the concept is boring after the first try.

  • Pros: some items are really good
  • Cons: what if you don't want a saddle of rabbit?
