Beast is great. On Friday nights before 7 pm, you can get $5 glasses of whatever wine they have.
Their menu changes week to week, so even if you go often, they're always cooking up something new. Extra points for the tapa style menu, because pretty much everyone wants to try more, rather than scoffing down the same thing for an entire meal. It's less hip than Parts and Labour, and more intimate than Black Hoof.
Portion sizes are more manageable, but prices match, so you feel just as full after ordering more dishes.
