    A great dinner at Feast! The mussels and boar dishes were delicious. The cauliflower starter was the best cauliflower dish I’ve had , plus great spinach salad and pom frites. The desserts were soooo good with an ample, but not giant portion, which I appreciate. The prix fixe menu was a good value. Great service from an attentive and authentic staff. There are fancier or cozier spots, and Feast is nice, with great food, and we will definitely be back!

    Always an amazing experience at Rock Creek. I've enjoyed dinner, brunch, and just drinks since they opened. Fantastic and attentive staff. Delicious menu. Extensive bar selection. If the main floor is packed, head to the bar downstairs for a chill experience.
