    Subpar - shrimp ceviche had almost no shrimp, the butter leaf salad had very little taste, and the steak was just okay. The service wasn't attentive - server was nice though

    Beautiful set up and ambiance. Though we had a reservation and the restaurant was almost empty, the hostess insisted to seat us at the very end next to the open kitchen. Probably because we are a family with kids (youngest is 10). Later we saw she sat one person at a 4-seat table next to a front window. The salmon was so good but tiny and laid in a pool of oil. Pizzas were just okay. Disappointing.

    Menu has classic bistro food with extra flavor and flare. Impressive presentations and taste. Service was very friendly, helpful and efficient. We had beef bone marrow with beef tartare, shrimp cerviche, butter lettuce salad and a margarita pizza with a perfect Manhattan, beer and a nice Barolo. All exceeded expectations. Nice ambiance and neighborhood. Will return.

    Took my wife for dinner to celebrate her birthday and our dining experience didn't disappoint! Delicious meals (she had scallops, I had salmon), outstanding Onx Rose, prompt and affable wait and front desk staff, made for a wonderful night out. Additionally, the interior is lovely, open, with street window views -great design!

    A bit torn with respect to rating the food here. I had a delicious burger for lunch on Monday, July 3rd. Definitely a 4/5. My table also ordered the chicken sandwich and to be honest it was the worst tasting chicken sandwich i ever had in my life. It was unseasoned, the chicken itself was very dry and hard to chew, and the chicken tasted off. I’m disappointed I had to spend $19 on a sandwich I barely took a half a bite off. The service was good. Our waitress was new, but friendly beer selection was great. Not sure if I would come back again since I love chicken sandwiches and was caught off guard with how inedible it was here.

    We had a pleasant brunch in the small outdoor area on the sidewalk with our pup. The interior of the restaurant is fresh and cheerful. The menu was bistro brunch, we enjoyed the blue corn and slab bacon chilaquiles and the croque monsieur. The small empanadas were quite nice. Our favorite was their fresh pressed juices, creative and tasty!

    Wow. We were very impressed with our salmon and halibut dinners. This rivaled top notch restaurants anywhere. The vegetables that came with my halibut were worthy of a meal themselves. Carrot purée with fava beans and asparagus. I ate every bite. Both fishes were expertly cooked. The chef and staff should be very proud. Our server was impeccable also. Elevated dining in SLO.

    Great place but small portions for the price. A cup of berries was $13. I was expecting a large portion of fruit. Yogurt and granola should come with the meal. Plus I had to pay extra for toast to go with my eggs and bacon. Food was great but portions are very small. Overpriced for breakfast.

    We have been to Brasserie a couple of times and it seems to be hit or miss with the food depending on the chef for the night. Unfortunately, last night was a miss. Halibut was cold coming out and favor/cook/everything seemed off. We also ordered the empanadas, which I took one bite of and did not want to finish. Bummer because the bill for 4 of us was closer to $400. We still had a good time with friends. They had a live band there which was cool- good ambiance. If they worked a little on their quality of food and making sure their waiters are informed about the menu, it would be really beneficial for the restaurant. Our waitress was very nice, but did not seem knowledgeable about the menu.

    What I thought would be a fun and romantic way to spend New Year’s, turned out to be completely the opposite. From cramped seating to absolutely horrible service that took 2 hours to get 2 out of 5 courses served … our fun and romantic New Years Eve dinner was ruined. Our server had no idea what she was even doing half the time. It started off by sitting at our table for 20 (not exaggerating) without anything to drink. No water was offered by the host when we were sat and the server didn’t come to our table for 20 minutes. Once we got water from the host, because I waved him over, the server finally came over to apologize for ignoring us. We picked an early dinner reservation time (6:30) because we were excited to be able to ring in the east coast New Year at 9pm on the roof top. The food was less than par, rather underwhelmed by the entire experience to be honest. Every dish that was suppose to be warm, was pretty cold by the time we got it. Needless to say, we were pretty frustrated that by 8:30pm and being only on course 2 of 5, we had to inform management since every table around us that had been sat after us (later reservations) was already on desert. The manager apologized and guaranteed that he’d push the rest of our food out quickly. He came by to ask how we were and noticed we still didn’t have the next dish, want to know why, because they delivered it to another table. He ended up delivering one of the dishes himself because we were able to walk out. It was a disaster. Here’s how the food went: The first dish - oyster were ok. The second dish - the noodles were coagulated in a sticky cold sauce. Small portion and hardly any mushrooms or bacon in my serving. Husbands serving was a little better visually. The third dish - the Rizzetto was cold and gooey with hardly any flavor. The forth dish - the mashed potatoes were cold and the meat serving was mainly fat. The fifth dish - a chocolate cake that tasted as if it was days old.

All special requests including: vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, allergies and aversions, are accommodated with care and ease by Chef Derek Brooks and his culinary team. Chef Derek is well versed in many regional and international cuisines and he welcomes the opportunity to create menus that meet your unique desires and expectations. When paired with the perfect signature cocktails and amazing wine, every event will create a memorable experience for all. Our expert Mixologists and Sommelier will assist our clients in pairing the perfect wine and creative, custom cocktails sure to suit everyone’s taste.
