An absolute 10/10!!! The staff was amazing, food was impeccable, and everything was gorgeous! I had the Salted Caramel espresso martini, St. Louis style ribs, Pan Seared scallops, and the Chocolate Tart. Everything I ordered was a 10/10 for me.

Blow your mind cocktails done perfectly. Not some basic Hotel cocktails put together by children. Know these were professional craft cocktail people. The Thanksgiving spread was second to none possibly the best I’ve seen around the world.

We dined in one of the tents in back. It was a beautiful setting and very private. Our waiter did a fantastic job of attending to us and making us feel comfortable and not rushed. We had several pastas and they were all good but not over the top delicious.

We always love Brasserie but this was extra special. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary and I dropped a note about that in the reservation request. Our server, Jessica, helped provide a great experience, We had a beautiful spot in the restaurant (flowers and sparkling wine awaiting), great found and drink, and another reminder of why this is one of our favorite spots. Add this place to our list!
