    Great ambiance, delicious food. The sound level is perfect— even when the restaurant is full you can actually have a conversation without raising your voice or having to make an effort to tune out other diners.

    Cognac is one of our favorite "Go To Restaurants" in our neighborhood and a place to which we also enjoying inviting guests. Last night's dinner began with exceptional gougeres and the cuisines was excellent throughout. We loved our window-side table, which was cozy and where we could hear well, too.

    Brasserie Cognac is a gem. The room is warm and inviting, the staff courteous and professional, the food delicious. It's so good that most diners are able to stay off their phones!
