This used to be my favourite restaurant, but our meal last night was only good, not great. The menu has changed quite a bit and it is now casual dining without casual prices. Our $85 lamb shoulder for 2 failed to fall off the bone as promised, and it was dry in places. It is still aesthetically lovely, we did not enjoy the bland RnB either.

If you want a dining experience that excites your taste buds, Feast of Merit is the place to eat. We got the “Feasting Experiences” for 3 adults and each dish was beautifully presented & had a unique flavour which we immensely enjoyed. I am looking forward to going back soon!

Nice atmosphere, pretty decor. However, food was ridiculously overpriced, waitstaff told us side dishes came with the meal and then proceeded to charge us $17 for a very sad plate of broccolini. Food was pretty underwhelming for the price, entree was bland and the main (ordered the lamb for 2) was not worth $85. Not bad but would not recommend as service was not the best and prices did not reflect the quality of the food.

Sensational coffee, warm ambience, attentive hospitality, complemented by a delicious, well, presented, flavour-packed lunch! A fantastic pre-game pit-stop!

Do yourself a favour - get the banquet! You'll be treated to amazing morsels and flavour combinations from the menu, all served personally by the chef to your table.This was such an unexpected delight when we happened to walk in here on a Friday night. The staff are friendly, even when the place is packed and a line of people are waiting to be seated. They know the menu well and will accommodate where they can.The fried chicken dish (can't recall the name of the menu) was the star of the 6 dishes we tried. It looked so unassuming on the menu but the flavours were amazing.They have a rooftop terrace for dining which we'll be back to try out in summer.

Yummy sharing plates with lovely hospitality. Started our meal with some cauliflower which was absolutely delicious. Crispy, salty and everything you could want in a bite. Followed that with a selection of mains - fish alongside some eggplant and again was cooked super well. The waiter was super kind and helped us sort a last minute table. Will definitely be back!

This used to be one of my favourite places. The fall off the bone" lamb was tough and sauce on the mean side for 2 people at $75

Flashback to the time I booked this: I originally chose The Panama Dining, but unfortunately, Luke told me they were fully booked, so they suggested their other restaurant, The Feast of Merit. I had the pleasure of speaking to Jason, who has been so accommodating, as well as the restaurant manager, Skye. All communications were initially done by email until we went to dinner.We went on site twice. The first was when we had to try and sit for a tasting menu because I chose this as my intimate wedding reception. We had the banquet menu. Everything was exceptional. Jamie was phenomenal and explained everything about the dish.I was happy I chose it because of the ambiance and the accommodating staff (Jamie), who even showed us around the rooftop after we dined. They offered some ideas, like letting me borrow their easel, as well as advice to not overdo the decor because the rooftop is already filled with all the fairy lights and plants. I had an amazing experience.During the reception, we were allowed to take photoshoots outside the location and to just be quick about doing them inside because they don’t want to disturb the customers who are dining. Rooftop upstairs has a different entrance and has a minibar; the toilets are all downstairs (no need to go inside the restaurant though).The feasting menu that was chosen for our function was amazing. The entrees were appetising and made you want more; the main courses were the stars of the show; and the desserts were delectable. I was so happy that my guests enjoyed them as much as we did.It rained towards the end of our event, but they have a huge, retractable roof that covers the entire area.I highly recommend Feast of Merit and would like to extend my gratitude to their team, especially Jamie, Skye, Jason, Luke, and Lisa (I think? So sorry—I forgot the name of the person who served us during the night aside from Jamie—) for making my event successful. It is a perfect venue for something intimate, romantic, and memorable.

I had a blast with my friends here! We walk past this place almost every week without knowing about this hidden gem! Now that we have found and experience the rooftop bar, we will definitely come again! Service was great -We were promptly greeted with a friendly smile and taken upstairs! Coffees were delicious and I had the baked eggs which was lovely too! The weather was on point and the roof was open which brightened up the space instantly! Will come back to experience it at night :) Also has an outdoor area for your fur pup!

Been there twice. I find the food to be quite average especially when you look at the prices. You are definitely paying a premium for the location. It's a convenient meetup point with friends in my case otherwise I will not go there again.
