    So we went the night it closed, unknowingly. The bar wasn't stocked, they ran out of certain entrees and misplaced a dessert we ordered. The food that we did receive was good, though one of the entrees wasn't cooked fully (the monk fish). Could've been the case of the "this is our last night anyway" blues...

    Drinks were way over priced for the area.

    We really enjoyed the fondue snack and the meatballs. We miss the old seafood pasta that was on the menu. We loved the s'moree dessert!

    My friends and I ate at the Brass Monkey Saturday night. The restaurant is beautiful...love the 70's flair! The food was very good. However the noise level was unbearable. The restaurant and bar are one huge room with high ceilings. There is no barrier between the bar (1/2 of the space) and the restaurant (the other 1/2 of the space). In my opinion there needs to be some sort of sound barrier to manage the level of noise. Between the awesome music (very very hard to hear I might add) and everyone talking it was really really hard to hear the people I was with. That is not cool. Too bad tho...I think it could be great with some sound barrier tweaking. Unfortunately, in the mean time, I won't return and would not recommend it to anyone.

    The food was good, but the waitress kept trying to push meat/expensive options on my friend and me who do not like meat too much. It was pretty annoying to say the least. Also we were not drinking and she kept trying to push drinks as well.

    We arrived for our reservation and the host sat us at a table and gave us menus. The restaurant was about 25% full at the time. We sat there for 15 min and no one came to take our order. We were seated directly next to another table who had their food and the waitress came by their table 3 time while we were there. She definitely saw us but never said anything. Finally we decided to leave since it didn't seem like we were going to be able to help. On our way out the host said something like he hoped we enjoyed our meal. We said we had been sitting there forever with no service and he just said "oh sorry" with no effort to keep us at the restaurant. seems like if the place is only a quarter full on a Friday night at 7:30 you shouldn't be treating customers poorly. Seemed like a cool concept but I don't know if they'll make it.

    Great dinner, great bar, great location, a little off the beaten path. Things were pretty slow for Friday night, I hope they are able to stay in business. The DJ was a little loud but we were able to manage with the noise.
