Pretty good - can get beef wellington and beef tallow for when the farmer markets are out of season

I've picked up food here many times and every single thing is so delicious. Most of the food is to take home and heat. Gourmet food in an instant in the comfort of your home! If you like goat cheese, you have to try the tarts. The quiche is no ordinary quiche. The chef knows what he is doing with every dish. The owners are soooo nice!

Amazing food sold by amazing people. My brother and I go here a couple times a week. There’s a wide variety of food and drinks for takeout as well as a cold shelf with authentic Irish meats and cheese (and more!) Definitely stop by for your next meal at home.

They serve take out gourmet dishes. And what a treat. My family members, both vegetarian and not, have really enjoyed all of the many quality meals we have tried. The owners are super nice! If you love goat cheese, you must try the goat cheese tart! The chef knows what he is doing!

It's carry out only, but man oh man is it good. The menu rotates constantly, but somehow every item is delicious. The prices are great for the sheer amount of food you get. The Goat Cheese Tart is the bomb.

Had the Coddle and Shepard"s Pie. Exceptional. Cant wait to try their Pasties. Alton's very little secret.

Friendly & personable owner! I love all the creative options! “Umm, I’d like one of everything. Wait, how much is this? That? Well, maybe we’ll split that” I never see prices on the items, but it’s all so beautiful to look at, as well as delicious to eat

Stalked the menu for a month or two before the stars aligned and all the dishes I'd wanted to try were offered on the same day. The lamb lollipops, mussels, and lobster risotto were phenomenal. I appreciated the instructions for reheating and how nicely everything was packed up to go. But above all that, the bright and welcoming demeanor of the owners made my whole day! What a gem of a place! Well worth the drive from Edwardsville. We will be back!

Amazing food & the most welcoming owners! I was already blown away that this quality of food was available at the price point that it is, but on top of that, the portions are so big! I’m disappointed in myself for waiting this long to stop by. If your 2020 needs brightened (I know it does), stop by & grab take-out here!
I don’t leave reviews often but I have to say the crab cakes are probably the best I’ve ever had. We also got the Bacon Gouda Quiche. Delicious! We will definitely be back.

Epicurean Fare lives up to their name, it's truly epicurean! The chef prepares a daily "menu" of items and it's stored / displayed cold until purchase. At purchase he writes reheating instructions on the box, everything is bagged and boxed and containered up carefully and separately. Tonight we had Chicken Cordon Blue with Parmesan Dijon sauce, potatoes, and barley with cranberry's and goat cheese. It took 10 min to heat it all up and was perfect, literally the best meal I've had in years. Prices are very fair for how amazing the food is - we spent $75 total for 3 chicken, 3 potatoes and the barley. We spent most of our time eating saying different versions of "oh my god, this is so good". It was an experience, not "just dinner".

Very good. This is Alton's little secret. Had the pleasure of talking with Chef & his wife. Had the lobster pot pie it was delicious. I will return again.
