About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

Designer Walter Gagliano's second visioning of BBG introduced a fresh, romantic feel to BBG. Vermeer’s portrait of “Girl with a Pearl Earring” was the muse in creating a new look. “Our original goal was to bring the space to a cleaner more contemporary vibe. When we discovered the over scaled Vermeer print, originally created by Philipe Stark, our fondness for bold romanticism found expression and led our fabric and lighting choices in a different direction" stated Gagliano.
Chef Edgar Melendez introduces a menu that balances his own personal flair and beliefs with the wants and needs of our guests. Clean lines, bright flavors, and unique combinations best describe his culinary style. Menu items are influenced by the seasons in conjunction with local farmers and purveyors. Just like our clientele, our cuisine represents a fusion between regional and global influences. Chef Melendez's goal is to give a truly pleasant and graceful dining experience in a casual, elegant setting.

Had brunch here. Food used to be stellar but is subpar now. Maybe they have New chefs but the prices have also increased so likely won’t revisit anytime soon. Staff and service were superb though.

My server was excellent. I love good customer service I can't believe I forgot his name but he had to work the bar and the tables. And he did it with ease.

I've been to Beacon Bar and Grill for brunch on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday brunch is much quieter and the food is fresher. Sunday brunch is the buffet style and food seemed stale as it was left out for longer periods of time and you pay more-$55 per person. I don't think it was worth it. I'll be back for Saturday brunch sometime in the future. Great ambiance and my server, Richard was excellent!
