3/4 of the table was unhappy with the food. It was legitimately bad with a brutal price point. Cold pasta, macaroni and cheese without cheese, awful desserts.

We didn’t have a good experience and have been to the Brentwood before. The service was not well trained and had to follow up several times. We asked if we could add one or two sliders to an order and were told that the Chef is unwilling to make changes. We had to approach the manager to get our bill after our server was nowhere to be found. Some of the meals were really good (Smash Burger and Fries) but several of our party didn’t finish their meals because the dishes were not appetizing. After dinner there was more conversation about the dinner frustrations than there was about the Second City performance we just saw. If we go back for another show, we’ll just have drinks and fries and will have dinner somewhere else.

Loved the view by the window. Was nice and quiet to as a table we were able to really enjoy each others company. Like the happy hour option! Service started a little slow as it was busy but overall our server was great!! She was so friendly, nice, and smiled! She was accommodating. When we were running out of time she said she would bring our dessert to our show table!!, she was awesome.

The service was great. The staff were all very friendly and professional. The food was okay but not what we expected from an Oliver & Bonacini operated restaurant. I would go back for pre-show drinks but probably skip dinner.
