    This was the first time we’ve had food here that wasn’t all amazing. The quiche was lukewarm and its texture was rubbery rather than fluffy. Everything else was very good, just disappointed in the quiche as I expected better.

    Great experience from the time we walked in until we left. The ambiance, the waitress, the food, the unhurried pace all contributed to a wonderful couple of hours.

    We enjoyed a late Valentines dinner last night. Libby was our server and took wonderful care of us. We especially loved the steak tartare and the cocktail specials. It was very busy because of the holiday weekend but we still enjoyed our time there! Looking forward to our next visit to Brasserie.

    My husband & I were very impressed. The customer service was excellent & the food was incredible! The duck was crispy yet tender & flavorful. My husband was so happy with his choice of the halibut. We sat at the chef’s counter & the chef was energetic and friendly. Our waitress was wonderful and very attentive. We will definitely visit again!

    From checking in, to leaving after dinner, it was a very enjoyable time. Waitstaff were cordial, without being over bearing. Food was well prepared and delicious. Very French lookin restaurant. We have been a few times and consistently nice experience.
