Delicious cuisine, fair prices, relaxed setting.

"They've got to leave happy. And I'll do whatever it takes to make them happy."  Owners Mark Snowden, chef and Ms. Filman are not exaggerating and go to great pains every night to ensure that their patrons are satisfied to the fullest extent by the time they leave the restaurant¹s comfortable atmosphere.

Needless to say, patrons typically end their Feige's experience with a full stomach coupled with full satisfaction.  Since opening its doors in 2002, Feige's has seen an average of 5,000 patrons per year, for a lifetime total of roughly 25,000 - a true testament to Mr. Snowden¹s belief in word-of-mouth advertising.  The entrepreneurs have a combined total of 48 years in the hospitality sector.

Feige's offers seven main entrees, prepared exactly to the patron's specifications.  The menu changes approximately every 4 weeks in order to offer a wonderful variety.  Feige's prime rib steak, seafood dishes and homemade soups are its current bestsellers, with Mr. Snowden heavily influenced by the Old French style of food preparation.

Ms. Filman is also stealing a bit of the spotlight from her chef husband, as she has people talking with her delicious homemade soups and salad dressings, including the popular German caesar concoction that is available at the Kitchen Cupboard and Icebox in Listowel.  "I¹m a perfectionist," commented Ms. Filman.  "Everything has to be done perfectly. I think that speaks enough in itself."

Feige's seats about 40 customers, plus the added space the new upstairs boardroom has provided.  It has a fully stocked bar, filled with spirits and fine wines including Feige's own label, fermented on Ontario's famous Pelee Island.  Mr. Snowden said that $35-$50 per patron is more than adequate to provide them with food, drink and dessert, eliminating the myth that a fine dining experience is only available for the financially well-off.

Mr. Snowden also ensures full satisfaction amongst his customers by personally visiting with each one during their dining experience.  The chef also goes to great lengths to present his dishes in the best possible fashion, as according to him, the way a meal looks also attributes greatly to its taste.

"The thing you eat with first in a restaurant is your eyes," he said.  "If it looks good, it will taste good."  The Feige's setting also looks as good as the food itself.  Ms. Filman takes care of the decorating aspect of Feige's, combining a series of dark colours with antiques and floral arrangements to make it one unique dining experience that patrons won¹t soon forget.

"I just love cooking for people," said Mr. Snowden.  "There's no more joy in what you do then hearing people on the floor telling you that they enjoy what they¹re eating. There's no greater satisfaction."
