Authentic brasserie food in a cozy setting. We were the first ones for dinner, and immediately the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Ordered the Brussels sprouts salad, then had steak frites and moules frites, two classics. Having worked in a brasserie for five years, I can say that they definitely got these right. The wine and garlic sauce with the mussels was just right, and the fries were crisped to perfection. So good that I forgot to take a picture of them. With just enough space left, our waiter convinced us to order a couple macarons, which were just as good as everything else. Top notch ??

Nice little gem in a great location. My husband and I shared the roasted beet salad which was so perfectly seasoned and fresh that I could have made that my dinner. However, I am glad that I didn't miss the crispy scallops because they were cooked to that delicious creamy stage and served on a tasty celery root puree. We were too full to try dessert. Staff is friendly and helpful, cocktails were very well made and the interior of the restaurant is simple, bright, modern without being sterile. We would absolutely go back to this restaurant.

I had a fantastic time at Brasserie. Seated at the bar, our bartender Jason provided exceptional service and impressively extensive knowledge of the wine selection. Every dish we ordered was outstanding. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit!

Sierra was the redeeming feature of our experience. The food was good - definitely recommend the bread as an appetizer - but our server was an excellent representative of the restaurant. They were out of several things, but she gave us advance notice and helped us select alternative options. Each entree was delicious, especially the scallops and the chicken special. Sierra's recommendations carried the meal

Arrived with our group of 10 at the time of our reservation to be told they had canceled our reservation due to lack of staff. They had not given us any notice. We asked for help or guidance for finding another restaurant that could accommodate our large group on a Saturday night. Hostess was rude and unaccomodating. While I understand things happen, the situation could have been handled so much better. Neighboring restaurants were more sympathetic and helpful to our group in providing suggestions and helping us find a place to eat.

The food was tasty. My husband loved the trout special and my mushroom Wellington was good, too. Everything else was sub-par though. It was stuffy and smelled weird - kinda like a locker room. The upholstered bench seating was absolutely filthy. And they were out of about a quarter of their drink menu. I expected better for the prices.

Had no idea what a beef bitterballen, but I'm glad we ordered it. It was awesome. The steak frites is also a great choice. The steak was the perfect portion, and there were tons of delicious fries. Make reservations though if you go on a Friday night.

Went for my birthday and they were wonderful! Greeted us with a “happy birthday “ and even brought my dessert with a candle on it. Nice touch! Food and service was amazing. Definitely going back to experience more yummy things on the menu.

I liked the atmosphere....it reminded me of being in Greece for some reason, it's minimal decor yet was still warm and inviting. The chairs are wood and very hard...cushions would be a nice touch. We had a good meal. Service was very slow but friendly. We will go back...but I'll bring a cushion!

Four folks had four excellent meals. Crispy Scallops were a hit, but the Cssoulet with Duck Confit was awesome.. Hot on a cool evening, melt in your mouth Duck and tasty sausage, with tasty tasty beans.. Magic Beans, never had any sa good! Accompanied by Cold beers, some wine and dessert made it a great evening…. Will be back.

Fabulous in every way. We had a sour start to our evening at another restaurant, and Alexa was determined that our evening at her place was going to be great. And it was. Cocktails arrived promptly, and amazing appetizers arrived soon after. Our entrees were perfect in every way. It really was rave-worthy, especially with Alexa taking care of us. She, with the help of the bar and kitchen pros, made it a really special evening. Thanks so much, Alexa! We'll definitely be back.

Food was ok. Service was inattentive. Did not get water service and had to ask for our first course plates to be cleared when the waitress showed up with our entrees!! This was after watching the staff clear up and reset empty tables!Nobody checked in to see how our meal was and had to ask for our water to be refilled. They had 3 selections of red wines and were out of two so you only had one choice. I have a sweet tooth and could not get out of this place fast enough to get ice cream at Chaps which was a fabulous experience.

If partial points were possible, I would give a 3.7. The salmon rillette was properly seasoned and prepared. As for the crispy Scallops, they were cooked to perfection and the crispy topping was flavorful. However, the scallops themselves lacked a bit of salt that would've taken them to the next level. This dish also took over 30 minutes to arrive after my appetizer. The pomme puree seemed to split resulting in a serving that was more greasy than the traditional smoothness one comes to expect from this preparation. The lavender infused creme brulee was very flavorful and the texture was perfect with a very solid crack of the sugar top. And finally the rum old fashioned was well made and had just the level of sweetness.

After a visit to Monticello we had dinner at this very good Belgian restaurant. Two of us had the charcuterie board and one had the sweetbreads. Both appetizers were delicious. As an entree all three of us had the house special Moules Frites, which also were very good. The chocolate mousse desert was a great ending to a superb dinner. The service was delightful and the packaging of the to-go containers of leftover mussels with the sauce was superb. WE highly recommend this restaurant.

Had a great dinner here. Lovely decor. Good bar and tables too. Mussels were excellent and the fries may have been the best I've ever had. Loved the steak tartar. The scallops were also very good, but could have been slightly crispier on the outside. Love the fresh sides (corn and tomato). Good selection of tap beers and cocktails. They gave us masks because we forgot them. Can also do outdoor seating
