| - I don't know. In a lot of ways, it just feels like Feast is trying to hard. Maybe it's because of its location (in the heart of Uptown Charlotte), or maybe because it's adjacent to a Charlotte "club." I just get the feeling it's trying to be something it's not, or something it can't be.
With dance music playing in the background and a DJ spinning throughout your meal, you get the feeling you're in Miami or in the Meatpacking district of Manhattan. And you're not. The decor is too much: shiny, sparkly, flashy. And our waitstaff was composed of emo hipsters. Nothing against them, but it was just a weird dining experience.
The drinks were good (and strong), and the bar scene was pretty cool (if a little much), but the food was only so-so. There wasn't too much selection, and nothing our group ordered really stood out at all. You get the sense that people go there don't really care about the food as much as the scene, which wasn't how I was feeling that night (hence my pseudo disappointment).
Drink enough, though, and you're fine.
