Editorial Review for Feast Rustic European Fare – by Andrea Loera
In Short
The ramblng arts-and-crafts-style house (formerly Chez Georges) is a charmer with polished dark woods and an upscale, casual atmosphere reminiscent of a countryside bistro. The menu changes daily as well as seasonally and features flavors from across England, France, Spain and Italy. Standouts on the rotating offerings include duck liver and lamb terrine, pork cheeks served with pierogies, shepherd's pie, cassoulet, braised oxtails and lamb osso bucco. Finish your European repast with a cheese plate.

We have been to Moro in London (and have the cookbook, gifted to us from some London foodies), but not St. John's the world renowned snout to tail place. We heard that these two chefs previously cooked at one or both of those places, and so we went today. Richard Knight was in the kitchen and he delivered. Wow, awesome. We had the pork belly, pork cheeks, and treacle ice cream. The Spanish salad had so many flavors, I tried to count them and lost count. Basil, carrots, red onion, garlic.... The traditional "shepherd's pie" was a yummy smoked salmon, bacon and baby scallops, although I could have seen more salmon bits. Comfort food at it's best. And the music (soft, and very European.) The hostess and waitress (the same person) was very gracious, and we found her a delight. This all at lunch at 11:00 am on a Saturday, because we were off to a movie at 1:30 at River Oaks Theater. It seemed to us that the rest of the diners were chefs at other places. Thus we are confirmed that this is a "chef's chef place." A great day date, for us. Thank you, Richard!
Pros: The food is fabulous
Cons: parking is scant

My boyfriend and I went to Feast with 5 friends after reading about it in th Houston magazine and had a brilliant evening!! James was great and recommended a lovely red wine, which was very sweet and perfect for the summer...He also helped our non-Brit friends with the menu and was witty and attentive... I had the salmon pate but my boyfriend had the pig's foot and it was tasty with an unusual texture!! Everyone enjoyed their first course and the service was great, not too long before courses but not pushing you out of the door! I had the lamb shank pie with real pastry and it was mouth watering!! Even my mother doesn't make lamb shank pie as good as that :) The food is sizable but after seeing some of the deserts we made room. We went upstairs onto the balcony and enjoyed the summer evening, more wine, our deserts and the view of downtown. They have a whole room upstairs and the decor is very pretty and homely with family pictures on the wall and a nice little 'powder room'. I had crumble and warm custard- it was lush and a girlfriend had chocolate cake that she hasn't stopped talking about!! I'm planning on going back with a group of 24 for my birthday and the people at Feast have been so helpful that we are truely confident that we will all have such a fab night!!
Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Wine List, Service, Upstairs Balcony
Cons: no seasonal menu
