    What a fabulous transformation of the venerable Nighttown! Kudos to you and your crew. Alex as our server and he was great. But everyone in the Brasserie had everyone's back. You have trained them well. Food was great and presented beautifully. Just a lovely evening!

    We love Edwin's concept and plan to support it frequently. 4 of us had reservations in the Brasserie for a Monday night. Although the food was delicious, there was a problem with service. We didn't have a server for a full 30 minutes (although we were provided with bread and water when seated) and finally had to approach the hostess and ask for help. (There was a server nearby who was waiting on every other table but us.) Fortunately, the hostess stepped in and became our server and she was great. The wine and food were wonderful and we had an enjoyable time, but the service issue should be worked out.
