If you're planning to go here, make sure you're not hungry when you arrive.
I've only ever left very positive reviews but this experience left my companion and I pretty dissatisfied, I wish we had eaten elsewhere and saved 2 hours of our time.
Came here for brunch - waited 40 minutes for a table even though we were told it would be a very short wait, the entire time we could see empty tables inside....?
Ordered as soon as we could, waited yet another 40 minutes for food to arrive. The table beside us even struck up conversation about how long everything was taking. There were a handful of staff but it was impossible to get anyone's attention for the first while. After almost an hour and a half of first arriving, our food arrived!
The food: a little cold and not super appetizing. Beast is trying too hard to be hip and interesting with its menu and not spending enough time on flavour or quality. Pork belly was chewy and overcooked. Fried Chicken soggy in sauce. Overall, mediocre with a side of insanely slow service. There are some great cafes and other brunch places around the area that I would much rather go to in the future.
Food - a little heavy on the grease and very heavy on the salt
Service - slow - 40 min wait for a table, 40 min wait for food
Would we come again? No.
