1 question · Jump to Q&AThe team seems very accommodating when it comes to dietary restrictions, provided you give them ample notice ahead of your visit.
Beast looks impressive on paper, but the cancellation terms caught me off guard. You must pay a sixty dollar per person fee if you miss the reservation or reduce your group size outside the window. For a fine dining spot, this strict policy feels punitive. Always read the small print before booking your table here.
