Sticking a fork in the old way of restaurant search.
At last, a dining discovery platform that trims the fat and focuses on the new priorities of diners, bars, and restaurants.

Introducing feast your eyes, a startup that wants to reinvent the way people find restaurants & Bars
But why are we needed? Well, We (Diners) are tired of:
Overly casual and non-corporate sounding, yet relatable rant incoming
Misleading ratings, endless irrelevant reviews, ugly photos of half eaten plates, sideways photos of blurry menus, no searchable vibes, myriad outdated information and years old content at the top of the search results, never mind no way to find 2+ important criteria at the same time. And…
Millenial User
Ads infesting our feeds for places we don't like
Bad search results generated based on review keyword scraping
21-35 Women
Searching for ROOFTOP PATIOS WITH CHAMPAGNE and getting FAST FOOD RESULTS (this was a real result btw)
Seeking Specific Dish
Not being able to find out what bars have frozen drinks or not
Concerned
Grandchild
Trying to find a place that has seating our grandmother with a bad hip can sit comfortably in, or with front entrance steps our disabled neighbor can walk up without getting winded (as for some of us a normal step is like a mountain to climb)
No newer criteria than "accepts reservations"
Deal Seeking
Diner
Loving the thrill of finding new specials and happy hours but hates having to follow 1000 influencer accounts to know about them
Vibes & Dishes
Needing to use five+ platforms to find one restaurant for lunch that has the right vibe
Gen Z Diner
Resorting to scrolling through delivery app menus filled with ghost kitchens and very limited, iffy results
Disappointed
Adventurous Diner
Of missing out on great places we will never find, and getting the same results we always get
Traveling on a Diet
Traveling for work and having to eat fast food when I am short on time and have dietary macros to control
Tired Parent
Searching fruitlessly for a place where we can bring our child with sensory issues, not knowing what textures, environments, or atmosphere await us, when all we really want is a simple break out of the house without the high risk of a meltdown, and just staying home.
Professional Work
Meetings
It's frustrating to find a quiet and upscale place for a business meeting to impress a client who really loves sustainable vegan cuisine AND a view
Misleading ratings, irrelevant reviews, ugly photos, blurry menus, no searchable vibes, outdated information, nevermind no way to find 4 important criteria at the same time
Price Sensitive Diner
Feeling relegated to never dining out because it's difficult to know where the best deals and specials are, even though many are out there hidden in social media feeds
Aesthetic Obsessed
Diner
Using social media apps to find a cool bar with results in Toronto and Berlin and you live in Texas
Product Loyal Diner
Not knowing if a restaurant has Diet Coke or a natural brand of diet cola, and YES there IS a difference
Friend Dining Group
Being no way to search for restaurants and bars as a group, incorporating and letting us rank the things that are a need, want, must-haves, and must-nots for each person in a single place
Social Media
Avoidant
Needing to use social media to know if factual information, it being hard to find there, or be forced to login to see menu photos and giving up
We're tired of needing to scroll through 5 years of restaurant timelines to see a dish we might like, be recommended a restaurant in the airport, watch 45 slides of a bar's stories to see what the specials are for Friday (if it hasn't expired…), searching for some hidden PDF for menus or allergy information like we're solving clues in National Treasure, checking streetviews like Carmen Sandiego just to figure out the parking situation, texting the group chat just to find out Katie is doing keto this week and having to START OVER AGAIN—before finally giving up and going to the same old place because this is just taking too much time.
We, diners, are tired of search engines innovations not meeting us where we are.
We're tired of the search status quo.
Diners want information, they want photos, they want menus, live data, where to park, and to IMAGINE what it will be like to eat there before they choose.
why not give it to them?
Restaurants learned they needed to use technology to survive, but how about to thrive?
Feast your eyes is a visually organized search engine that helps diners fall in love before they get off the couch. We believe our system makes
every dish and vibe a marketing opportunity benefitting both venues and diners.
