While the easily distracted servers seem to be Beast’s continuing burden, the exquisitely prepared American tapas and small plates should soothe a savage appetite. An animalistic bar scene greets you; opt for the quieter, crimson-walled back room adorned with gargoyle statues, where you can tuck into fleshy, well-chosen marinated olives while you weigh your options. Smoky, beer-braised short ribs, a touch sweet, are a natural winner amid the room’s lusty, carnivorous vibe. Seafood can be hit or miss, with seared scallops over a mellow bed of leeks and squash outpacing a timid take on skewered shrimp. Street front seating is tempting on a breezy summer night, but it’s almost a shame to skip the intimacy of the den-like interior—a cozy cave.

I crave the Beast brunch all the time. No matter where I've gone for brunch or how much I've paid, there is nothing that compares to the delicious brunch selection at Beast. My favorites are salmon Benedict ( actually anything with their delicious hollandaise sauce), chorizo hash with chipotle hollandaise, rock shrimp and cheesy polenta and the skirt steak with all the trimmings...but those are just my favorites!! There's a welcome feeling the minute you walk in the door...a neighborhood favorite.
