Inspired by Ernest Hemingway's travels, and a nod to his novel A Moveable Feast, Jessi and Chad Waldher created Feast: a French restaurant with a PNW twist. The Waldher’s first Kirkland restaurant, Bottle & Bull, was also inspired by Hemmingway and they loved the idea of continuing with the underlying theme of flavors featured from regions Hemingway often traveled. “We wanted to continue our tradition in Kirkland as a craft cocktail destination, but also feature a more extensive and varied wine list. Chad always had his eye on a certain location in downtown Kirkland. We were both ecstatic when it became available and were able to further expand our operations as we've always loved serving our guests here,” says Jessi.
The very definition of the word feast is to ‘eat and drink sumptuously'. In line with that, Jessi and Chad have created something special, something to be savored. “Our highly talented staff bring our menu to life each night along with exceptional hospitality. We're able to do this because of the lovely people who patronize our businesses. We're forever grateful to them and our team,” says Jessi.
