   Only 5 of 6 of us ended up making it, & had Gracie as our waitress who was excellent. The Restsurant (indoors) was not very busy (it was a Tuesday evening) …. Yet the lights were dimmed twice & we’re not sure why. Once I can understand but the 2nd time we really felt possibly we were being told it was time to go (it was only getting on 7pm) Other than that, the ambience was great~ temperature great. Food great, Altho it was mentioned a couple of times that it does seem more expensive than places we also go to in Carlsbad. 1/2 this group is from Carlsbad and 1/2 Lake San Marcos. Most had desserts too for the first time ever & raved about them. All had wine. Kudos for Gracie putting up with us!

   The food was delicious and the service was amazing! I personally loved that they still had Christmas decorations up. Looking forward to going back during Christmas next year. I recommend sitting outside. The inside of the dining area could use some love. Overall 4 stars

   I made reservations for NYE on 12/30 and was surprised they had so much availability. Although in San Marcos, I woukd consider it a hidden gem. Great food, ambiance, and service. Perfect for a low key NYE and we would definitely go back.

   It was a great dinning experience at Brickmans. We enjoyed the holiday decor and music! Very festive. Our waitress Reese made our dinning experience exceptional. She took the time to go over the menu and answer our questions. We would definitely return! Food was amazing. The appetizers were delicious! My favorite was the cream of mushroom soup… best I’ve ever had. Their salad selections were great! I’d recommend the beets and goat cheese salad. The Atlantic Salmon was my favorite! And can’t forget the drinks! Amazing as well. Definitely go and have lunch or dinner at Brickmans. Highly recommend it and if you get Reese as your server you are in a fabulous experience!

   The “Miracle” pop up bar was so pretty and festive. Over the top decorations. Food and cocktails were great! Logan did a fine job serving us. Love this restaurant at Lake San Marcos.
