    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.

    Not enough wait staff. Ours was great, but not attentive to our needs because he was covering a ton of tables. The recommended hamburger was fair on its very best day. Bun was soggy and FF’s looked and tasted like they can out of a bag. I will not go back

    Brenner’s Pass is one of my favorite restaurants. Chef Brittany Anderson and her cuisine staff do not disappoint. The menu is inspired, creative & delicious. I also enjoyed seeing her represent Richmond competing on TV. The waitstaff is very efficient and friendly. Selena took great care of us. The restaurant has a very cool vibe. It can be noisy but that is ok - the customers are having fun. Being able to park easily is also a plus, especially in Scott’s Addition.

    Everything about our evening (with a larger group) was great. Our server was incredible and even brought out a celebratory toast (we were there celebrating a graduation). Overall, it was a positive experience, and we’ll likely give it another chance re:the food.
