Truly spectacular! I was seated by the manager, who was very accommodating and respectful, as well as having a great upbeat energy. The noise level was nothing overwhelming, and I'm rather sensitive to loud places. Nice music. The chef(s) knows what they're doing! The lamb was absolutely delicious, as well as the house made shirley temple. Afterwards, I was surprised with a divine dessert for my birthday, topped with a candle! Very good experience! Definitely recommend.

Great food and ambiance. My steak was overcooked but they got a new one out very quickly and were very nice about it. The duck is incredible and the garden seating is the best in town.

We celebrated our anniversary at Roam and were blown away again. The food was incredible, the service was top-notch, and they even surprised us with complimentary champagne (and it was really good!). Our waitress was amazing and made our 3 year old feel totally welcome. We’ve been a few times now, and it just keeps getting better.

The Brickhouse was highly recommended to us and we had a mostly positive experience. The hostess was very welcoming when we arrived, but very cool once we were seated, which seemed odd. But our waitress, Amanda, was WONDERFUL. We felt very well taken care of and much appreciated her pleasant attitude, especially on our special occasion. The food was excellent, especially the Wagyu steak. However, at 8 ounces it became too much of a good thing, as it was a challenge to finish eating the whole steak. A 6 ounce steak would have been much more enjoyable; it’d be nice to have a choice on size. Otherwise, it was a very nice dinner out, and we’d go there again, next special occasion.
