    Brisa was a great experience! Jenny was the best host / server as well as her support staff tonight. She had amazing suggestions and was able to describe the palette of the dishes with precision. We got the empanadas which were super flavorful and filling, the ceviche was ok and the seafood tower which was nice bc you can pick any two rolls of your choice (great value). We ended with the tres leches cake which was phenomenal. I would say the highlight of the meal / experience was Jenny, our server! She was kind, the right amount of check ins and made the experience awesome. The support staff checked in to clear dishes and filled our waters pretty timely too.

    Food was good. Not amazing but fine. Drinks also good, not amazing. The proper cadence of good service was definitely off. Server was inexperienced she seemed awkward and uncomfortable. Busser reached over my plate of food to get my water glass to fill. Menus left on the table too long. Food would come without side plates. Just not a seamless service experience. All need more experience and training.

    The appetizers were good, and our rolls were not. Our drinks were ok. I wasn't impressed with anything. I probably won't be returning.

    Brisa is a new true gem in Little Italy. I lived here for 17 years and their fusion vision is next level. Jenny is so incredible in every way and the pride she has and the whole team in Brisa is a breath of fresh of air. We had the Passionfruit Ceviche, Wagyu Skewers, Pork Chop, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, Wagyu Steak and Surf and Turf Sushi Roll. All were DYNAMITE!

    Service was excellent, very friendly atmosphere and the food was outstanding. I had the smoked pork and it was by far the best I have ever had.
