Re: “If it works out the kinks, Bellevue's new Asian eatery will be a worthy addition to the list of cheap eats. Christmas dinner, anyone?”
Their Pad Thai & lettuce wraps are excellent. I've been there twice. There are some kinks to be worked out.

I spotted that place a few weeks ago going into {Pub}licity. Considering the meal we had there, I'm sorry we did not detour into Hur Wei. Thanks for this.

Manager is an idiot.

Eastender probably works at Feast. The restaurant has great vision but poor execution. This is what happens when someone decides to start "playing restaurant".

I doubt you were distracted by very many thoughts at all.
Re: “From octopus and quail to wild boar and rabbit, Midtown's festive Sardinia offers a pizza-less taste of Italy”
We didn't find them to have "over salted" in the least; the flavors are called "actually seasoned Italian food." But then, we were not distracted by a paragraphs-worthy flood of thoughts about the block; we just valued the food, which is only exotic if actual Italian food is exotic to you.

Literally? Eeuww.

I'm literally sitting a puddle of my own saliva after reading this review. Can't get down there fast enough to try it out.

eastender,,,,sadly i concur with the review,,, tried twice with dismal results both times.

ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED
I was beyond dismayed to read the Nashville Scene’s article on feast. As an east Nashvillian, I frequent this restaurant/bar, perhaps not to the point that I could be considered a regular, but certainly enough to have tested the menu thoroughly - and the staff. I have never, not once, been dissatisfied with my food selection or service. I would even go as far as to say that of the foods I generally do not like, feast has an uncanny way of seducing my taste buds. The staff has always been attentive, personable and a welcome reprieve from the weight of the office – as are the cocktails! (If you’re feeling adventurous, ask for a signature drink made with a “few of your favorite things”- never a let-down!)
From the gorgonzola mac n’ cheese to the golden fish n’ chips to the BLT with a pickled fried green tomato (lovely twist on a personal fav), every visit has been a success. You can never go wrong with their fries (if you like a little potato in them and not just a plate of crunchy oil). What’s more, their brunch is fantastic! I drooled over the sunshsine flat, a delectable breakfast-food-medley on the lightest, flakiest of crusts. Not to mention the fluffy biscuits with that sinful gravy on top! I could go on for pages, but I’ll leave a little to be desired, in the hopes that the Scene’s depraved review does not deter those foodies who seek a menu for the more eclectic. Nevertheless, I respect the fact that we all have our differences.
Perhaps most disconcerting was the article’s opener. As an avid reader of the Nashville Scene, it is typically the beginning paragraphs of an article that entice me to read on or make me groan as I turn the page in search of diversions. As this article discussed feast, I compelled myself to push forward regardless of my inner cringe. The misfortune of what occurred at Germantown East Café will never be forgotten, especially by locals, as it touched many of us. But even non-locals have it burned into their memories whenever they read anything posted about feast. Surely it is time to let the past rest in peace. I feel confident in saying those who were personally affected by Jay’s loss do not enjoy finding the tragedy splashed across the Nashville Scene as bait for a food review. Very distasteful.

Perhaps the owner should be informed that "Boscobal" is not a street in east Nashville, but "Boscobel" is. Just sayin'.

>>Like a lunchroom, there's a line for ordering and paying.<<
This alone would keep me away from a restaurant. I refuse to eat at a place where I have to fetch my own food. If I wanted that then I'd go to McDonalds (yech!).
Re: “The Belcourt's departing midnight movie mixmaster replays some of his favorite cocktails”
These drinks is in plastic cup, Pat. Miss you, bai.

Now who will know what I mean when I say "Make me an alcoholic drink!"

Pat will be missed!
Re: “Top Chef veteran Arnold Myint relaunches Cha Chah as blvd”
blvd delivered. My date and I enjoyed great dinners with imagination and style coaxed from locally sourced raw ingredients. We got there following watching "Stoker" at the Belcourt this past Saturday and had no trouble getting a table for two at 8:00 PM which was a surprise. I will be back, nice job Arnold!
Re: “At last, Nashville gets Lucky Bamboo — dim sum that's authentic, delicious and just plain fun”
Just had some great Dim Sum in Chicago this past Sunday (and yes they push the carts) at the Phoenix restaurant. There is also a great place in Boston that used to be an old movie theatre (true- they pulled out all of the rows of seats on the ground floor and filled it with tables)- lots of good crab and lobster selecions. Haven't tried this Nashvile restaurant but I will give it a chance. Thanks for the Atlanta suggestions too.
Re: “Top Chef veteran Arnold Myint relaunches Cha Chah as blvd”
First, the phone number above the link on the right side of the page is incorrect. The new number is: (615) 3852422. Second, they don't take reservations. I plan to try them tonight.
Re: “New Taqueria del Sol location in 12South blends Southern and Mexican”
I have eaten here 3 times already and I don't particularly care for Mexican. You do have to stand in line but they bring the food to your table. I really like this place, the corn chowder is fantastic! The girl who takes your order could use a little seasoning (lunch girl) I ordered an enchilada and didn't realize it came with rice and I proceeded to order a side of rice, when the food came it was here is your entree with a shitload of rice, enjoy you dumb ass!
