    Food and drinks were absolutely delicious in particular the crab and corn risotto and the fries artichokes. The only part better than the food was the service being absolutely phenomenal

    Everything about Brenner Pass was lovely, with amazing and attentive staff. The restaurant is beautiful and well designed. Bottle of wine and pasta deal was amazing and delicious. The prices were higher than expected otherwise, and would be a reason to choose other restaurants in the future, but the Thursday pasta deal was a great incentive, and I'd recommend it to everyone! Excited to return for a happy hour with friends.

    Service was amazing. The roasted oysters were very underwhelming . Just oysters overloaded with very bland breadcrumbs. I chose a charcuterie board for my meal which was just ok. the coffee bread tasted moe like a brownie. A bit shy on the cheese for sure. My BF got the pork which was cooked properly but still somehow very dry and lacking spice. I would go back and try other things. Again our server, the hostess and manager were super attentive and very nice. It was our anniversary and they gave us an anniversary card and put a candle in our dessert .

    Food was good although pasta was too salty. Server offered to substitute something else. Ambiance is very industrial and the space is very noisy. Service and staff were excellent.

    We've been to Brenner Pass twice in the past couple of weeks after having been out of town. The seasonal menu has changed, as is appropriate, and the new additions and updates are terrific. First, the focaccia with the whipped ricotta is a great share/starter or an excellent add-on to any small plate for a meal. Speaking of small plates, I loved the bresaola (as a thoughtful alternative to a beef carpaccio), meaty, cool, refreshing. The chicken liver mousse has been updated with ripe strawberries, and the fried artichokes still rock. And the pasta refreshes always intrigue. We've had the decadent tagliatelle carbonara, but I'm holding out for the cappelletti with mortadella. And the new blue crab risotto with fresh hominy got raves, too. We always ask about the fish special, and were treated to Lane snapper this past week, a change-up from the dependable rockfish. I had the strip steak with tartiflette -- a trip back to Switzerland and their many delectable potato dishes. We even had the new chocolate torte with passionfruit. Last week Brenner Pass also announced a closure/rebranding/reopening at the end of summer. We plan to relish our favorites -- and any summer changes -- as long as we can. Then we look forward to the next chapter of this truly unique local gem.

    Came here for my birthday and they made it such a special night. Amazing food, great server with good suggestions, and overall small touches that made the evening so good. No notes. Their James Beard award definitely shows.

    The menu is pretty small, and its not very cohesive, meaning its difficult to build courses that work well together - the small plates are bigger than expected. The fried artichoke was really good, really crunchy without being greasy adn the lemon alioli was yum! The Rockfish main dish was a generous portion and pretty tasty. Our server provided good advice, modifications and a good wine pairing! I would have liked to see another sesafood option in the mains. My husband got the oysters and thought they were a bit bland. We ordered a cocktail to start, which was quite good, but took FOREVER to be served on a night when the restaurant was not busy at all.
