   We had been to Brickman's for dinner a few days earlier and had an amazing truffle burger and salad (we both had the same) followed by a chocolate chip cookie desert that was fabulous. So we decided to try brunch. This is a no frills menu of all your favorite things, burger, pancakes, a twist on eggs benedict but my husbands eyes widened at the size of the breakfast burrito which was fabulous and I couldn't have been happier with my smoked salmon toast on sourdough bread. It was scrumptious. Add to that a perfect peach bellini (not too peach and not too sweet) and we call this brunch a success!

   Great food and atmosphere! If you like wine, I suggest getting the wine club membership. I love that they have live music on the weekends too.

   We were surprised! Good service & good food! Only complaint was that though the Beet salad was wonderful it just had way too much dressing on it! Otherwise, it was a great experience.

   Amazing little gem in the neighborhood. Food is exceptional and I recommend sitting on their patio and listen to the live music. Our server Heather was prompt and friendly and we felt like we gained a friend by the end. This was our first time and we will be regulars.

   I made the reservation two weeks ahead of time. I received 3 texts to confirm that we were a table of 10 for 5:15 on a Saturday night. I responded to all three. My husband and I were going to a matinee movie in San Marcos at 3pm, so we figured that our guests might get there ahead of us. I wanted to make sure that we had a nice inside table with a view and that it was not in the middle of the restaurant where it might be noisy. So, I stopped by the restaurant on Friday, to look at the layout. The young lady at the front wasn’t very busy, so, she showed me around. She said that the only table outside that would accommodate 10 people was way to the back side, near some bushes, and it didn’t look very appealing. We looked inside and found the perfect table, overlooking the putting green in an alcove, away from the middle of the restaurant. I told her that it would be perfect! She wrote the table number on my reservation to make sure it would be clear to anyone at the front desk on Saturday night. As predicted, our guests arrived about 8 minutes before we did, around 5:10 to 5:15. When we arrived, the host told them that I had made a reservation for an outside table. Fortunately, I had texted them all, letting them know exactly which table was ours, so that they made enough of a fuss to be able to secure the table, after waiting 5-10 minutes. We arrived just as they were being seated. I’m so glad that it turned out in the long run, no thanks to the staff at the front, who were prepared to put my guests outside. It just shows how far one has to go to get the best service, and it still may not be enough. Long story ending: we all had a great time and enjoyed the evening at Brickman’s! The portions were large, they accommodated separate checks for each couple, the food was excellent and everyone took some leftovers for a meal the next day. We will be back, but I hope the manager stresses the importance of communication among staff and sticking to promises to patrons.

    Service is always outstanding and the food is delicious. Love that they have a water dish for our pup! Get the cookie for dessert, you won't regret it.
