   You know you had a wonderful experience when as you leave...you are wondering how soon you can come back. Service, selection, preparation....this team understands hospitality. Very warm and inviting! Even tried the Albanian wine. Like a Pinot Noir on acid.

   Simply wonderful. From walking in the door and being greeted by Mike, to the wonderful service of Evan. The food was expertly prepared with flavors that danced in my mouth. The oysters are not to be missed! A great dining experience and a very nice mix of patrons. We will be back!

   Outstanding service and excellent faire. This is a special occasion spot that does not disappoint. The restaurant was packed with patrons; however, we felt like we got so much attention that we overate and over drank.

   Truly beautiful space, impeccable service. The food was memorable; I keep thinking about the oysters and also the made to order lemon madeleines. Finished with a tasty port. Perfect for a special occasion or celebration. We'll be back! Thanks Michael, Evan and team.

   The food was ok. The restaurant had a suffocating amount of incense burning for the first half of the meal and it gave a headache and distracted from the meal.

    Wine by glass was awful. They charged $47 for the Foie Gras appetizer. Not very good. We asked for the degustation menu they said the chef will decide. So effectively asking us to order blind. We paid $47 each for a Truffle on our entrees. Could neither see nor taste it! Very poor value for money.

    I was expecting a lot more. It was hard to find at night. They didn’t check our coats in, but were friendly. The food was a big disappointment. My food was cold. Ordered the steak and it was just meh. For the price paid, it was disappointing. I will not be back.

    After an hour and a half and still no entree we closed out and left. Drinks and salads were long time coming as well. Bartender spent her time doting on a diner sitting next to which explains why drinks took so long. Bottom line it appeared you needed to have a relationship with restaurant or staff to get acceptable service. Salads and drinks were good when we got them.

    We were gratified to find Carrie and Michael Nahabedian's lovely Brindille operating at their usual high level on our first visit since the pandemic. Even on a busy night, genial Michael took our coats and seated us within just a couple of minutes of our reservation. We opted for Chef Carrie's shorter tasting menu and pairings, and were very pleased by the parade of outstanding dishes that followed: oysters with grapefruit sorbet and smoked trout roe, a deeply aromatic mushroom soup with truffles, tarte tatin, Ora king salmon with salsify, lentils, and spaghetti squash, venison with foie gras and vegetables, and oeufs a la neige (floating island) for dessert along with some mignardises. Pairing highlights included an intricate Armenian sparkling wine, a floral and almost spicy Greek Sauvignon Blanc, a well-executed Burgundy from Yves Chaley, and a Muscat d'Asti with dessert. Server Shane was friendly and informative, the other waitstaff efficient and unobtrusive, and overall pacing was neither rushed nor slow. The room itself is comfortable - maybe a bit more than half of the seats are on banquettes - and reasonably quiet, with subdued lighting and twig-themed decorating. We were very happy with the evening and look forward to visiting again soon.

    In short, we made 7:30 reservations and didn't get our dinner entrée until 10:15pm. We were provided lots of apologies but nothing made it worth it to sit down for almost 3 hours without food. I will never recommend Brindille and anyone that brings it up, I will tell them this story. For those wondering, nothing on our bill was comped.
