   Brenner Pass never disappoints. We are very fond of all of Chef Anderson’s RVA restaurants, but Brenner Pass is our favorite. Sitting at the bar and chatting with Alyssa is always a treat. A great experience every time we go!

   We had a wonderful anniversary dinner! Attentive service, but not intrusive. Food, cocktails and wine were excellent and setting is sleek and modern.

   There are so many new dishes to try that I waited for a second visit so we could sample more of the new menu at Brenner Pass. The fried artichokes! The crispy-seared fish entree! The new risotto and pastas! And plenty of our favorite standbys are still available, like the shellfish, garden-fresh salads, and grilled breads. But those artichokes are amazing. And so is the tagliatelle with pancetta and maitakes. And the pork chop entree. And there are still a couple of things we haven't tried, like the shrimp scampi with ramps. All in, still our favorite restaurant in Richmond with extremely thoughtful service, a dining-out atmosphere, and consistently great cooking.

   Greeted with a welcoming smile. Service was nice and attentive without being overly so. Food was excellent. Had the pork chop which was perfectly done. Wines by the glass were well curated with some different and interesting choices in both white and reds. Highly recommend!

   Excellent food and service, great wine list - bottle and by-the-glass. Diverse menu selection, just the right size for the menu. I am usually underwhelmed by celebrity chef restaurants; this one exceeded expectations. Baked chicken and pappardelle were awesome, as was the grilled foccacia. Very good chocolate torte for dessert.

   Wow! We go to Brenner Pass often for its neighborhood vibe and consistently great food and service, but we'd been out of town for a while. Terrific seasonal menu changes and truly outstanding cooking last night. We had the fried artichokes, the new risotto, the celery root caesar, and the truly amazing red snapper. There are already other dishes we want to try, and we heard even more coming up this spring. Loved it, as always, but we were also reminded of how grateful we are for a local restaurant that revels in changes and tweaks rather than repetition.

    My husband and I enjoyed every moment of our visit to Brenner Pass last night. Our meal began with the grilled focaccia (a new favorite) followed by our entrees. A pork chop served with polenta & peas along with flounder served with brocollini. Zeppole and espresso budino were the grand finale. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and presented. Our waiter, Grant, is knowledgeable re: every fine detail of the menu, kind, entertaining & was most attentive. His notable service and efforts to make our evening "extra" special are greatly appreciated. David, along with other servers, checked on us throughout the evening. Our thanks to all.
