RESTAURANT CUTSOMER PAYS $200 FOR TASTING COURSE AT FELD. HE CAN'T BELIVEHE DESSERT

Chicago’s recently-opened restaurant, Feld, generated quite the buzz online before its opening. However, this customer is unsure if it’s worth the hype. Gene (@getam) describes their visit to Feld in a viral TikTok.

They say the restaurant serves a tasting menu of about 30 items and that most dishes focus on one ingredient.

“The plate can be called minimalistic at best. Not too much going on with the plate,” Gene says. “As for the actual taste of the food, well, there was a couple highs, but honestly, it was mostly lows.”

For Gene, the issue lies with the seasoning. “While you can see a lot of technique displayed in these dishes, the basics of just salt was an issue. A lot of our dishes were under-salted,” Gene says.

As for dessert, Gene says it was the “weakest” part of the night. One dessert plate was simply cheese, and another was just frozen fruits. However, Gene adds that there were some “pretty good” dessert plates in between.

Still, Gene says they paid $200 for the meal and feel disappointed that it ended with frozen fruit, given the cost.

In an email to the Daily Dot, the “Feld Team” shared its response to the video. “Our only comment is that the negative voices always ring louder, which is a shame when the vast majority of our guests at Feld leave overwhelmingly happy,” it wrote.
