Oyster Rockefeller pasta, and a salmon dish with potatoes.

This is my first time going to a French cafe and let me tell you the food is worth the wait, and affordable as well. I came in around 7:00pm and saw that it was booked, while I was waiting the owner handed me a piece of paper asking me to watch the video which I did, and for a restaurant that has lasted for more then 44 years, either the lord blessed them or their food has to be out of the world. I was then seated by the owner as I peaked in the kitchen theirs only one person in there it's his wife, the way she cooked while I was waiting was just so elegant and lovely, it felt like she didn't have any worried and just cooked with every dish with love and her heart out. For appetizer I had the Chicken liver Pate, now normally in the Vietnamese culture it's usually served as pork and with baguettes, this chicken pate tasted so fresh and clean and just smooth, I was just tempting to pay just for the recipe for it. Next came a light French onion soup no bread, no cheese, just onions and broth and it tasted like whoever put cheese and bread basically hides or "enhances the flavor of the soup." This soup was so, good I cleaned the bowl out, lastly came out my entree a oyster Rockefeller pasta dish which is ravioli covered in oysters in a Rockefeller sauce, im a big fan of oysters and knowing it is sacrilegious I got pasta and at a French restaurant, let me tell you something when a French can cook a ravioli dish better then an Italian, theirs a reason why they been opened for almost 44 years, even if it's just two people the hospitality and atmosphere is just so smooth even seeing people going here on dates made me smile, I will be coming back until the two owners have a happy retirement

Salmon in tarragon cream sauce and steak with garlic-parsley pesto

I knew as soon as I walked in that I would love this quirky little place. The decor is bohemian, the owners - a French couple - sweet and friendly. We had a great dinner - started out with the cheese appetizer, a simple and delicious pastry filled with gooey, messy cheese. My partner had the steak entree, I tried the salmon with creamy tarragon sauce - it was fantastic. We got two sides to share - sliced fried potatoes and sautéed asparagus. For dessert, the lemon pudding cake was a bit of a disappointment - I'd definitely try something else next time. I love the fact that they make up the menu daily based on fresh ingredients. We will definitely be back here next time we come to Bloomington!

Side of potatoes

This was a really great food experience. I'm half-French, from Provence, so I immediately was excited to try out this typical Provençal restaurant while in town for college visits. All of the food is homemade, and you can tell Marina (the owner) prepared it all with love. Her menu is created daily, which shows she's cooking using fresh ingredients that inspire her dishes. My stepdad and I enjoyed the cheese pastries, potato and carrot soup, chicken with mushroom sauce, salmon with a gribiche sauce, and sides of potatoes and broccoli with a bechamel sauce and parmesan. For desert, we had a mixed berry Clafoutis and a ricotta based italian chocolate cake. I highly recommend trying this little spot out! I will definitely be returning next time I'm in town.

Everyone loved their food and felt like the portions were really good! I'll definitely be back to try more brunch items and dinner. As for drinks, we had the sake Bloody Mary, a chai tea latte, a matcha vanilla latte (absolutely divine), and apple cider mimosas. Feast has lots of parking! It is a cozy spot so I recommend grabbing a reservation to make sure they have a table that works for your group at your desired meal time!

Absolute Garbage !!…read more Feast Marker and Cellar *USED* to be amazing with genuinely unique flavors found nowhere else . But under new ownership , it's not even Waffle House level , and they still charge prices like it was unique . I had the eggs your way, which used to be amazing , but now it's just fried eggs, warm potatoes and cold toast , and was charges $18. The waiter was clueless, coffee was cold and place was justifiably barren . The display case used to have all sorts of amazing pastries , but now it's random shrink wrapped garbage . Really the worst experience every and were charged $50 (two of us) for cold coffee, cold toast , stale potatoes and Waffle House eggs . At least Waffle House coffee is hot .

Night 2 in Indianapolis took us to The Fountain Room, and honestly, I'd happily go back…read more We had reservations and chose to sit in the bar area, which turned out to be a great call. The restaurant itself is really well designed--traditional meets modern in a way that somehow works. Looking at the tiles and wall coverings individually, you might think, "Oh...interesting choice." But put it all together and it's actually quite harmonious. Design math, apparently. We started with drinks. I had one of their daiquiris, and it was perfect. I'm a whiskey girl, but after some enthusiastic pours the night before, the thought of more whiskey was a hard no. The daiquiri was light, refreshing, and tasty--sweet, but not obnoxiously sweet. And most importantly, it tasted absolutely nothing like whiskey. Mission accomplished. For starters, we ordered the Brie brûlée. I was a fan. The husband was...not. Here's how you do it: take a wedge of their freshly baked toasted bread, slather on some strawberry jam, dip that glorious situation into the pistachio-dusted Brie brûlée, eat, and repeat. And repeat. And repeat. I eventually had to intervene with myself. I ordered the beet and peach salad without the beets because, well...gross. The peaches could have been a little riper, but the salad was still really good. Nicely dressed, with candied pumpkin seeds and some kind of soft herbed cheese that pulled everything together. Very tasty, and thankfully no beets were harmed in the making of my dinner. Then came the meatballs. I have never in my life had meatballs that tasted like these, and I mean that as a very good thing. They were herbaceous, tender, with just a hint of sweetness. And somehow, they kept getting better as we ate them. Especially the ones at the bottom, sitting in all that sauce. DO NOT PASS THESE UP. The husband ordered the prime rib, which he rated an 8 out of 10. High praise, friends. This man does not hand out 8s like participation trophies. Service was great, the food was genuinely enjoyable, and the whole experience was exactly what we wanted on our last night in Indy.

The honey butter and syrup just went so well with the items. The next favorite was the pancake tacos. They were basically a breakfast plate in taco form. It's a bit messy but they were tasty. The biscuits and gravy weren't bad, but weren't anything show stopping. We also really enjoyed the loaded tots. They weren't anything like I was expecting.

The restaurant has this beautiful old world atmosphere that feels romantic without feeling overly formal or stuffy. It has so much character, just being there felt like an experience. The food was wonderful, the service was attentive without being intrusive, & the whole evening had a really relaxed, intimate feeling to it. It's the kind of place where you actually want to sit & longer over your food instead of feeling rushed out the door. The price is absolutely worth it, Le Relais delivered that! Definitely one of those places that feels like a little piece of Louisville history. I'd happily come back for another special evening!

Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to what we remembered. The lamb was flavorful, but the chicken Milanese was very disappointing. It tasted burnt and had almost no flavor, and the salad was plain and bland as well. The bread and butter were great, but honestly, that was probably the highlight of the meal. We decided to give dessert a try and ordered the orange soufflé, hoping to end the meal on a high note. Unfortunately, even that was bland. We were expecting a nice fresh orange flavor, but there really wasn't much orange flavor at all. We really wanted to love this place again, especially because we've had such good experiences here in the past. Sadly, this visit just missed the mark. If we do go back, we'll probably stick with the steak. Great atmosphere and wonderful service--just very disappointing food this time around.

The hospitality was great, and their drink and food recommendations were equally wonderful. One thing to note is the portions on the appetizers are fairly large, so keep that in mind when ordering. To start, we ordered the Korean Fried Mushrooms with baechu kimchi, gochujang honey, daikon radish, furikake, and scallions. These were great but unfortunately had to save room for the other items and could not finish. Then got the Center Cut Ribeye which came with cajun spiced spaetzle, summer squash, remoulade sauce, pink peppercorn ricotta, scallions, sweetie drops, and chimichurri. The steak was cooked to a rare/medium rare consistency that was delicious and we loved the tiny peppers. We paired it with a nice red wine the bartender recommended and it was a lovely experience. Lastly we ended the night with the strawberry dacquoise and espresso. The dessert came with strawberry mousse, pistachio cake, strawberry glaze, white chocolate bark with pistachio & pink peppercorn, and frosted mint. It was a refreshing summertime dessert perfect to end the day. I definitely recommend the steak dish and heard the airline chicken and Chilean sea bass were good too. Would love to come back and try a cocktail and a different dish while sitting on the patio! Second Time: Got the tamarind disco cocktail that comes with a lollipop - amazing, would order again!We tried the fried chicken and caviar, pork chop, and honey cake! All three were delicious - the fried chicken and mushrooms are tied for appetizers, bowers we still think the steak is better than the pork chop. The honey cake was amazing and it paired perfectly with the decalf espresso martini (or a black coffee perhaps). Looking forward to round 3 during my next work trip!

Just beware get there early if you want the good stuff. Getting to the food we did order, mind you the chef was not in the house on a Monday, which is fine and modus operandi for chef driven concepts. I know this and I am fine if everything is executed per chef expectation. So either it was a tough night in the kitchen or the food concept is off, maybe a lil of both. Soup of the day Carrot was spot on, spicy, savory. Needed a lil salt but very nice. Roasted Carrot - curveball when I see roasted i think warm. Nope- cold appetizer. Which would've been fine that was mentioned. Problem also was I wouldn't say they were roasted really because they did not seem to have the roasted look, morenlike a few light grill marks and they had a snap/crunch like a raw carrot. A roasted carrot is sweet and unctuous. The concept of the dish was good but execution not. Unless you just want to say carrots w harrisa. Entrees we could order we will start w scallop risotto . Risotto was under by a stretch. I have risotto far and wide and I know its supposed to be al dente but this was quite under. Scallops cooked nicely but salty Pork chop - chef recommendations on temp is mediumish, I concur 145 to maybe 150. Pork chop i received was more like the old days of 165 even by the bone not a sheckle of juice. My mother would have been proud (iykyk, cause when I grew up nothing had juice. It could kill ya). Flavor was decent. Accoutrements were forgettable. Overall the I know why I haven't been lately. Tinker is okay but should be better if you want $50 per entree. I know this is not finest dining in the city, it's not meant to compete with the Vidas, or 32 down town steakhouse, but at least make the food memorable. It wasn't.
