FEAST - Artisan Dumpling and Tea House

I wanted to like this place more than I actually ended up liking it. On entry, you can see that the place is well decorated and has a generally great atmosphere (soft lighting, background music, etc.). We had a small wait before a table was available, so we sat at the bar. In the whole time we were at the bar, there was no bartender; they appeared to be off doing other things. We were eventually seated in a lovely little alcove, but it took nearly 10 minutes for anyone to drop off water and even longer for anyone to greet us and ask about ordering drinks/appetizers. It felt like the front of the restaurant was understaffed. We eventually ordered, and our food came out in a very reasonable amount of time. My group ordered a wide sampling of things from the menu. Everything we ordered looked great from a presentation standpoint. While eating, we all came to the conclusion that everything was good, but nothing made us "wow" or "yum" or express anything other than just "this is fine." When factoring in price, we were generally disappointed for a few things (e.g. four single-bite soup dumplings for $13 is a bit ridiculous). Overall, I'm not disappointed that I tried this place, but I don't imagine I will come back unless I have a friend who really wants to try it. Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options are available, but not options in every category of food (e.g., I don't think they had vegetarian soup dumplings) Parking: There is street parking in the neighborhood. It can be difficult to find parking in that neighborhood; especially during a dinner rush Kid-friendliness: I would not bring kids here. Wheelchair accessibility: As far as I can tell, this place seems to be fairly accessible. I did not check the bathrooms.

The soup dumplings are fantastic!! Would come back again, like 10 more times!!

Excellent spring rolls, wontons and dumplings. Nice place.
